|Accountability and governance="Maltese legislation is silent on a number of topics relating to research. This is particularly the case for genomic research, where the Patents Act is the only legislation, which deals primarily with patenting rather that with the research as such."<ref name=malt>Pierre Mallia, "[http://ec.europa.eu/research/science-society/pdf/mt_eng_lr.pdf National Regulations on Ethics and Research in Malta]," European Commission, Brussels (2003)</ref> Patents may not be issued for human cells, cloning processes, processes for modifying the human germline genetic identity or commercial uses of the human embryo.
