Port rules of the Balearic Islands are being revised

The regional parliament has approved an amendment to the existing legal framework for ports; the President has promulgated the law in the name of the King.

The Parliament of the Balearic Islands has approved a law that adjusts the existing legal order for the region's ports. The official gazette records that the President has promulgated the law in the name of the King.

As background, the introduction states that the ports were once transferred to the autonomous community by royal decree, which established the first provisions for port uses here. On that basis, a separate law was later enacted, which formed the basis for modernization and a stable legal framework for ports and maritime facilities and consolidated the relevant sector in the region.

From that earlier framework, extensive investments in modernizing the port facilities emerged, which were fundamental for the nautical and port sector. The rationale for the new law also mentions that further changes have occurred since then.
