These form the most basic form of local government and there are no intermediate levels between it and the national level. The levels of the 6 [[Districts of Malta|districts]] (5 on the main island) and of the 5 [[Regions of Malta|regions]] (4 on the main island) serve statistical purposes.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://daneshnamehicsa.ir/userfiles/file/Resources/18-3)%20Europa/Malta_EN.pdf |title=Report|website=daneshnamehicsa.ir }}</ref>

(1) Every locality shall have a Council which shall have all such functions as are granted to it by this Act
