MATTHEW VELLA DRAFT rules for Malta's burgeoning strip-club industry will ban the use of private rooms and set different rules for employees to allow pole danc- ers only to be naked on stage. The Maltese entertainment mecca, Paceville, underwent a radical change in recent years as various clubs died out and gave way to more so- called 'gentlemen's clubs'. Women's organisations have railed against the plans to give these clubs a regulated framework, although business representatives say the rules will give security to employees of an industry that critics say borders on prostitution. Under the new rules, private dancing rooms will no longer be allowed, which previously meant that customers could get private danc- ers but also negotiate prices for sexual favours – if tolerated on site.
