Recommendations 1 Empower public and social participation in the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of urban strategies and, in general, urban policy. The effectiveness of the participation of cities and their groups in the preparation and monitoring of the various European programmes at national level should be ensured, in particular those related to the new funding period and programmes of clear health to cities. And expressly in urban strategies. Further steps should be taken to strengthen the role of citizens and local actors in the development of sustainable urban developments and their strategies and throughout all phases of their implementation. This should be done on a dual scale: at the level of the urban area as a whole and at the level of the specific area where the actions are implemented, to involve the population of the neighborhood and agents of the area. It would be advisable to define the clear will to give knowledge of urban policy and what it means between the general population and the whole of society and not just among experts in the field. Only a society that knows this urban policy and its local strategies can sue them and demand that their rulers be executed and evolve. Despite the experience of the municipalities, such participation, on multiple occasions, comes down to collecting the information from the interest groups that they have previously available, but do not involve them when designing the strategies, as well as in later phases. 2 Promote an effective participation of small and medium-sized cities in urban policy to strengthen policentrism. The application of the ERDF's urban axis should be able to distinguish between these specific urban conditions, for example between medium/small cities and metropolitan areas, where solutions cannot be the same, nor the composition and integration of measures within a DUSI strategy. Some European territories such as the Galician and Northern Portuguese municipalities are populations less than 20,000 inhabitants and therefore do not qualify for the DUSI call for the period 2014-2020, so they have not been able to access European funding for urban strategies, but they are the headwaters of urban areas of more than 20,000 inhabitants formed by a system of dispersed and non-continuous or contiguous nuclei. 1 P A G E Effectiveness of environmental Urban policies to improve Resources Efficiency EURE STATE OF PLAY REGIONAL REPORT SPAIN/PORTUGAL It seems reasonable to take into account Galician casuistic population in small non-contiguous nuclei and to incorporate this reality into urban strategies and funding through ERDF funds by making eligibility possible for population centres which, on their own, do not reach the threshold of 20,000 haabitants, if they would exceed it if their rural sphere of influence were taken into account. Particularly relevant is the role they have as the headwaters of large rural areas and their importance in providing these areas with equipment, infrastructure and services that prevent the depopulation of these rural areas. This reality needs and therefore should not be left out of the process of making a strategy. 3 Integrated sustainable urban development should be progressively oriented to functional urban areas and polycentric urban systems, and to renewed forms of rural-urban cooperation based on agreements between and around urban centres with their surrounding areas. These "new" urban territories tend to share problems and should therefore tend to design and promote common urban development strategies, to the extent that sustainability will depend on this joint action in territories of variable and integrated scales. Small populations of less than 20,000 populations who are rural headwaters should be allowed to create a functional urban area or as part of a discontinuous multicenter network of centres to directly access European urban funding and national cohesion fund plans for urban policies. The new period and program should advance the incorporation of the concept of functional urban areas, with special attention to metropolitan ensembles, polycentrism of smaller cores and rururbans transitional spaces. Greater attention should be paid to the relationship of the city and the surrounding rural area. Rural-urban relations should be considered in the definition of urban areas for sustainable urban development policies. Urban expansion has led to the development of areas where urban and rural fabric are intermingled. Social and functional differences between life in cities, and rural surroundings, are becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish and draw a clear line between urban and rural areas. Urban and rural areas must cooperate to contribute to balanced territorial development. Mechanisms must be developed at all levels, normative, organizational, financial for the incorporation and development of new functional areas with the express participation of cities and municipalities. 2 P A G E Effectiveness of environmental Urban policies to improve Resources Efficiency EURE STATE OF PLAY REGIONAL REPORT SPAIN/PORTUGAL 4 Give greater relevance to strategic planning in the preparation of the programme instruments for the implementation of urban policy and european fund-rural and investment in general. The importance of integrated strategic planning in the field of sustainable urban development policies and the importance of developing urban agendas at all levels of administrations and governments or similar documents where this is not possible should be clearly expressed. New urban development programmes and local agendas should be aligned with UN's 2030 Agenda of its SDA, in particular Objective 11, and with the COP21 European Green Deal strategy and the Paris Pact, the European Pillar of Social Rights, the Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy or the Sustainable Cities Reference Framework as well as other international reference documents. An effort must be made to make strategies more city-like and not a joint government. They should be the partial or total expression of a common and participatory pre-existing strategy, agreed collectivly, long-term and not a sum of conjunctural actions according to the government on duty. The strategy should be somewhat broader, not just the municipal administration and different from the financeable projects. The transition between the DUSI Strategies under way and the new generation of Urban Agendas will need to be made. The new urban strategies or agendas should be aligned with the European and Spanish Urban Agendas, their partnerships and the action plans already presented. 5 Promote the territorial and thematic grouping of local cities and

  • The Immigration Conundrum in Italy and Spain
    AMERICA Immigration, Law& The Immigration Conundrum in American Identity Italy and Spain Laws and policies in Italy and Spain reveal ambivalence about immigration. by Kitty Calavita Both Spain and Italy have significant undocumented immigration populations. In this article, Kitty Calavita explains the origins of increased migration to Italy and Spain, beginning in the 1980s, the role of immigrants in the economy, the anti-immigrant backlash, and immigration law and policy today. pain and Italy have long been countries of emigration, sending millions “Spain and Italy of working men, women, and children to every corner of the globe since the late 1800s. In the decades after World War II, Spaniards and Italians found labor opportunities closer to home, shuttling back and forth to passed their first Snorth and central Europe where they supplied the backbone of the industrial labor force for the post-war economic boom. This migrant stream began to immigration laws in reverse itself in the early 1980s, as many former emigrants returned home, and these southern European countries attracted large numbers of immigrants from 1985 and 1986, beyond their borders. Italy experienced its own “economic miracle” in the post-WWII decades, respectively.” drawing large numbers of rural people from its less developed southern regions to its northern industrial centers. By the mid-1970s the gap between Italy and its northern European neighbors had narrowed. The increased employment opportunities and higher wage levels associated with this transformation attracted immigrants from Africa, Asia, and Latin America, much as in earlier years Italians had migrated north to better jobs. By 2006, approximately 4 million foreigners resided in Italy, with an estimated 300,000 being undocumented.

  • Spain 2012 Bathing Water Report
    Bathing water results 2012 – Spain 1. Reporting and assessment In 2012 the Spanish authorities reported under Directive 2006/7/EC provisions a list of their bathing waters, start and end of bathing season for each bathing water, short term pollution events, events impacting bathing water quality and measured values of concentrations of two microbiological parameters — intestinal enterococci and Escherichia coli (also known as E. coli). This report gives a general overview of bathing water quality in Spain for the 2012 bathing season. Spain has reported under the Directive 2006/7/EC since 2008. When four consecutive years of samples of intestinal enterococci and Escherichia coli for bathing water are available, the assessment is done according to assessment rules of the new bathing water Directive 2006/7/EC. The Annex IV of the directive requires a sample to be taken shortly before the start of the bathing season. Sampling dates are to be distributed throughout the bathing season, with the interval between sampling dates never exceeding one month. Taking into account one pre-season sample, no fewer than four samples are to be taken and analysed per bathing season. Three samples need to be taken and analysed per bathing season in the case of bathing water with either bathing season not exceeding eight weeks or being situated in a region subject to special geographical constraints. The result of such monitoring is used to build up the sets of bathing water quality data. The number of samples for the assessment period should thus be at least 16 or 12 if season duration is less than eight weeks or the region is subject to special geographical constraints.

  • Republicanism and Separatism in the Seventeenth Century
    25 Republicanism and Separatism in the Seventeenth Century TOMÁS Ó FIAICH This article first appeared in ‘Léachtaí Cholm Cille’ II Stair, 1971. It is reproduced with the permission of An Sagart, Má Nuad and Pádraig Ó Fiannachta. Consequently it has been thought that all this would be settled by having the enterprise carried out in the name of the liberty of the fatherland and of oppressed religion and by establishing as the government a Republic, which should be so called on its flags and in its commissions … For Ireland to take the name and title of Republic appears to be the best way to carry out this diversion with all possible success and safety … It is simply noted that this insurrection which the natives of that country wish to carry out, should be proclaimed as being for the purpose of establishing the country as a free Republic and in order to make the Catholic religion there free, absolutely … let him (i.e. the pope) send special delegates to all the Catholic kings and princes of Europe, earnestly urging them to help the said Republic of Ireland. These phrases are culled not from the autobiography of Wolfe Tone, the father of Irish republicanism, nor even from a document belonging to the end of the eighteenth century, when republicanism was in the ascendant in the United States of America and in France. They were written as long ago as 1627, when only two republics of note existed in Europe and it was proposed that Ireland should become the third. The long document which has been quoted seems to have been the first in our history to put forward a republican form of government as the objective of an Ireland fighting for her freedom—the first document, in fact, which uses the then unfamiliar and unhallowed title of ‘Irish Republic’.

  • Market Report Spain. January 2021
    MARKET REPORT SPAIN. JANUARY 2021 Economic perspective The pandemic has had a severe impact on the Spanish economy in 2020, which contracted 11.3%. According to S&P the euro zone is expected to grow 4.8% in 2021 and Spain is expected to grow 6.5%. A higher growth than the average, still, GDP is not expected to recover to pre-Covid levels until the second half of 2022, and employment levels are not expected to be back until 2023. Present COVID situation Spain is in the middle of the third wave of the pandemic, with a high penetration of the UK virus mutation. The latest figures show an average of 899 cases per 100.000 inhabitants which is the highest figure since the beginning of the pandemic. The total number of infected people since the beginning of the pandemic is 2.670.000 and 57.300 deaths. At present, hospitals are again reaching capacity limits. However, the Spanish Ministry of health believes Spain has now reached the peak of the third wave and that numbers will start to decrease. All expectations are now on the vaccine effort and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced in January that 70% of the Spanish population would be vaccinated by the summer. This was before the recent developments with reduced number of vaccines expected to be delivered to the EU. Some figures….
