Santa Cruz de Tenerife, 17 Mar. (Europa Press) –
The Canarian Government granted approval on Monday, during the Governing Council, to seek an opinion from the Advisory Council regarding the draft Decree that regulates the allocation of reference and reserve quantities for banana producers, in line with the provisions of the Community Programme for the Support of Agricultural Productions in the Canary Islands (Posei).
In doing so, once all necessary procedures have been fulfilled and all requisite reports gathered, following the review of claims submitted during the information and public consultation phase, the new regulation is now in its final processing stage, which involves consideration by the Governing Council and the request for an opinion.
Upon receipt of this opinion, the draft Decree will be submitted to the Governing Council for final approval, as stated by the Canarian Government in a press release.
The aim of this regulation, they clarify, is to adapt to the modifications of the POSIBO, as well as to promote the stability and sustainability of the sector. This includes establishing a new regulatory, coherent, and integrated framework for the allocation and calculation of reference amounts, by applying a cap on the assignment of said quantities, extending the review period, and identifying the associated area for calculating individual performance.
Additionally, the text lays out a fresh regulation for the reserve of unallocated reference amounts, facilitated by the introduction of more efficient and transparent procedures that also support generational renewal.
This comprises an introductory justification of the regulation, with an operative section and a concluding part, so that the three chapters, in which the operative section contains the general provisions, the review of reference quantities, and their reservation regulations, are distinctly outlined.
Furthermore, the concluding section includes a unique additional provision that addresses exceptions for individuals impacted by the volcanic eruption of La Palma or by expropriations for the establishment of public interest facilities.
This regulation incorporates what was approved in the non-law proposition (NLP) which was unanimously supported by all political parties in the Parliament of the Canary Islands.
