Market size >€7.7bn o Passenger intercity services by road are operated on an exclusive basis by private companies; whereas urban transport services are operated both by public and private companies o Passenger transport by road is highly segmented, with more than 3,700 companies operating in the industry. The size of most of the operators is small (average number of buses by company: 10.9) o Rail transport is operated only by public companies: RENFE and regional operating companies Spanish Transport Market – Overall (2009) Spanish Transport Market – Bus & Coach (2009) Bus-National 5% Intercity National Urban Bus-Regional 29,5% + Regional Rail- RENFE 22% 39,5% 28% Bus- Special Use 12% Rail- Narrow Gauge Bus- Discretionary Special Use 6% 8% 18,5% Bus- Urban Discretionary 19% 12,5% c. €7.7bn c. €5,1bn Sources: DBK Transport Consulting, RENFE annual report and Scheduled transport for general use (intercity + Transport annual report from Ministry of Transport urban) amounts to €3.5bn Social Economic Environment and Mobility Overall Situation o In 2010, the Government put in place a number of restrictive mea sures in the investment and public spending programmes, reducing wages to gov ernment officials by 5% and limiting pension increases. 2011 State budge t restricted, in line with EU commitments to adjust public deficit to 6% of GDP. o GDP - In line with expectations, although it improved against the ini tial forecast and decreased by 0.1% in 2010 (y-o-y variation in the fourth quarter delivered an improvement of 0.6%). Forecast for 2011 expects growth of 0.8%. o INFLATION - Tax policy (VAT increase), the lack of control in collective ba rgaining and the increase of oil prices led to an increase in inflation r ates of up to 3% in 2010. Forecast average annual inflation of 3.2% (source: FUNCAS). o UNEMPLOYMENT - The economic policy designed by the Government has not generated expected employment. Unemployment rates increased in 2 010 up to 20.4%. o PAYMENT ARREARS - High level of payment arrears, both from Public Entities to private companies and from particular clients to Banks. Overall situation Overall Situation Overall Situation o Approval of the Sustainable Economy Act : o Maintenance of regulatory principles (LOTT and ROTT) and EU Regulation 1370. o Sustainable mobility: encouragement of transport modes with lower environmental and energy impact. o Efficient planning: rationalisation of investments in transport according to passenger needs. o Regulation benchmarks in the labour market : o Agreement for employment and collective bargaining (February 2010): wage reviews according to the economic climate. o Reform act of labour market (September 2010): flexibility and management for the amendment of labour conditions. o Socio-economic agreement for growth, employment and pension guarantees (February 2011): reformation of the collective bargaining system. Mobility - Bus o In terms of wider economic activity we observed uneven behaviours dependent on the type of journey. o Urban and metropolitan transport: in 2010 national urban transport demand dropped by 0.8%, a contrast with sharp volume decreases in 2009. o In InterCity transport (including suburban, medium and long distance) demand dropped in 2010 by 1.1%, compared to 2009 (source: INE). The highest impact was in long distance services, with a drop of passengers by 4.4%; medium distance services showed a better result, with an annual growth of 1.1%. o However, in the last few months of 2010, demand showed a slight recovery: in December 2010, urban transport grew by 0.4% and demand in intercity transport increased by 2.1%. o In 2011 (last figures published by INE are for January) demand improved significantly in all the bus transport areas: o Urban transport grew by 3%; o Suburban transport increased by 1.8%; o Medium and long distance by 2.7% with better performance in long distance. Mobility - Competitors o Only air travel increased passenger volume in 2010 (growth in Barcelona, Valencia, Malaga, Seville, etc.) mainly driven by a higher presence of low-cost airlines (RYANAIR, VUELING, EASYJET,…). Domestic traffic increased by 1.6% in 2010 (source: INE). o Rail was also affected by the passenger drop and by the regulations arising from the EU legislation regarding subsidies to public services. A higher control over subsidies in high-speed and long distance services had an impact on fares and discounts applied by RENFE. o In 2010, demand for long-distance rail services decreased by 3.9%; drop by 2.3% for the total traffic of railway passengers. o In January 2011, fall in demand for long-distance services was 5.2% (source: INE).

  • Borders by Consent
    Borders by Consent: A Proposal for Reducing Two Kinds of Violence in Immigration Practice Richard Delgado* Jean Stefancic** ABSTRACT We describe a new consensual theory of borders and immigration that reverses Peter Schuck’s and Rogers Smith’s notion of citizenship by consent and posits that borders are legitimate—and make sense—only if they are products of consent on the part of both countries on opposite sides of them. Our approach, in turn, leads to differential borders that address the many sovereignty and federalist problems inherent in border design by a close examination of the policies that different borders—for example, the one between California and Mexico—need to serve in light of the populations living nearby. We build on our work on border laws as examples of Jacques Derrida’s originary violence. We assert that laws that exhibit a high degree of originary violence lead, almost ineluctably, to actual violence and cruelty, such as that perpetrated by Donald Trump’s child-separation policy, and that consensual and relatively open borders are the most promising way to minimize both forms of violence, originary and actual. 338 ARIZONA STATE LAW JOURNAL [Ariz. St. L.J. INTRODUCTION Suppose that the underlying basis for a significant area of social regulation fails badly when viewed from the perspective of any of the leading theories of human organization and only holds appeal to those who are indifferent about perpetrating pain and hardship on fellow humans and need a plausible justification for doing so—namely that “they broke the law.”1 Consider current U.S.
