municipalism under
Spain is a historical reality seventeen autonomous regions established in the Constitution and 8,000 municipalities throughout the national territory. Within what is known as a state, central government, autonomous regions and local authorities constitute the bulk of public administration. In the municipality so happens that is closest to the citizen, a purely administrative services. The current reality is that the municipality has a different degree of development depending on each region, but this should not be controversial, because in any case, the Central Government, as guarantor of the state, has among its functions the match these various developments.
said, the municipality is a pending issue in many democratic development issues within the last thirty years. There are basic issues unresolved, discussed and debated in various forums, both in the municipal chambers, as in the autonomous parliaments and national levels. However, the 2009 can be considered to be a good year for English and Andalusian municipal issues.
Facts:
Among the anti-crisis measures implemented by President Zapatero, called State Fund for Employment has been a success. Eight billion euros, double the annual investment of all municipalities in Spain (four billion), thirty-one thousand projects to promote public investment will create two hundred thousand jobs due to economic effort 1.1% of Gross Domestic Product in response to recommendations of the EU for all its Member States.
An increase of 34% percent of the resources allocated to the municipalities as compensation for the business tax. An increase of 25% of the various municipal cooperation programs. At this time of crisis, allowed the council a budget deficit above 3% adding that all municipalities would be 0.2% of GDP.
In line with EU recommendations, and the product of collaboration between the Central Government, Autonomous and Local, are to reduce administrative burdens for companies in the period from 2009 to 30% (the EU recommended 25%). It is
carry out the transposition of the European services. This means that seven thousand administrative procedures must conform to the new policy, and this will require the modification of seventy three hundred laws and regulations. To not give more details, I am convinced that 2009 might be a good year for municipalism Andalusian and English one year, also in the municipalism will collaborate with the Autonomous Communities and the State out of the crisis.
But municipalism Andalusian and English, within the constitutional framework, has pending a number of core themes to develop in the coming years. Among them, solve the problems of Central funding, something that must be addressed in the context of regional funding. You have to complete the transposition of European Directive that affects local government. The Central Government will make legislative efforts in the coming months to reach a consensus with all political groups to amend the two laws governing local government, ie the replacement of the obsolete Base Act by Local Government Local Government Act and to update the existing Law on Local Finance for the municipality to exercise their security responsibilities.
Finally, at the Andalusian will carry out an important statutory development, beneficial to the municipalism Huelva after the referendum approved the Statute of Andalusia. This new status opens up great opportunities for the improvement of the municipal Andalusian and consequently to improve services to citizens.
