Spain scores in AB reduction

Network friend Ignacio Gafo, leader of the Spanish AB project, informs us of impressive recent results, summarized in an official Report of CEOE.
Efforts have focused on the Integrated Environmental Permits (IPCC Directive) which is possibly the most complex procedure existing in Spain and in which the four levels of Government (EU, national, regional, local), are involved. The Confederation of Employers' proposals, that have been very favourably received by the Spanish Government, are expected to yield not only a significant reduction of administrative burdens to companies, but also promote a "philosophy" (Convergencia Voluntaria de Legislaciones y Procedimientos AutonĂ³micos) which make a bid to reduce the legislative and practical fragmentation of the Spanish interior market. Thank you Ignacio.

    Thank you Charles Henry and the Network, for giving us the possibility to share our experiences and results. Only a relevant comment. The Report is not only a CEOE Report about a Spanish Government backed and sponsored project in which CEOE and its SMR associated Confederation CEPYME perform the analysis and make the recommendations. This private-public partnership is a keystone in the excellent progress the Spanish Government is doing to reduce administrative burdens
