NOT REALLY ENOUGH
According to newspaper reports, the European Commission sees 'certain problems' ahead with the new Valencian Land Laws (LUV) that are set to replace the controversial LRAU. The Commission has now officially demanded that Spain make some public comment over the LUV, which was approved by the Valencian Government last March, before deciding what course of action it intends to take, especially as Brussels opened a dossier on the LRAU for failure to respect the European legislation over public contracts. It has also been revealed that the Spanish Government officially replied to the EU letter, which included a copy of the fill LUV proposals. Despite being almost three weeks late, according to Flor Castilla, a Commissioner for the Interior Markets in the European union: Despite the Valencian Authorities stating that they were prepared to include our suggestions in the new land law, that has not yet been done, whilst certain other provisions contained in the LUV could lead to different interpretations of the new law."
ASSOCIATION FORMED
Tavernes de la Valldigna yesterday was the scene of a gathering of some 2,000 people in the town's sports stadium in order to obtain more information on the project by the Actura company (which belongs to savings bank Bancaja) to urbanize four million square metres of land in the municipality that currently is qualified as 'agricultural'. People voiced considerable concern that if the land is re-qualified as buildable, manyowners would be forced to pay as much as 60,000 Euros if the Valencian Land Laws are applied. Many of them yesterday stated that they would probably be forced to get rid of their land at a price far below market value should the project go ahead. Meanwhile, a similar collective was formed yesterday in Benissa aimed at stopping the Benissa Golf Project, which plans to build 4,700 homes, various hotel complexes and two golf courses on 3.6 million square metres in the Lleus area of the municipality. The Collective will hold its first meeting tonight in Benissa.
