The issue of oil, which is going to explode, is going to be a source of instability and will increase tension,” argued Lieutenant General César Muro Benayás coinciding with the beginning of the reinforcement of the island. The exploitation of these deposits, in waters that Morocco considers its own, could mean a production of 100,000 barrels per day for Repsol . The oil company has announced investments of 7.5 billion euros in the area, with the intention of starting drilling in 2014. No representative of the firm has attended the meeting. According to diplomatic sources, the issue is put on hold until the next annual bilateral meeting between the two countries, scheduled for next fall. The fishing agreement Another current point of confrontation between Spanish and Moroccan diplomacy is the renewal of the fishing agreement between Morocco and the European Union , which could reduce the exploitation quota of the Spanish fleet if Rabat manages to impose its conditions before Brussels. The Minister of Agriculture, Food and Environment, Miguel Arias Cañete , did not travel in the delegation with the king since a high-level meeting is scheduled in Rabat between Morocco and the European Union on the 18th. After half a dozen failed official appointments, the ministry has made it public that it is confident that this will be the final one and that an agreement will be reached that respects the main lines of the text proposed by Spain.T
he Government is targeting 11,000 advisors appointed by hand in autonomies, provincial councils and city councils. It will eliminate positions of trust in municipalities with less than 5,000 inhabitantsAs Confidencial Digital has learned from Special Database Government sources, the application of the local administration reform will entail new reductions in the staff of advisors and temporary staff (not civil servants) at the three levels of the State. The Executive plans to save more than 1,000 million euros in salaries between the three branches of the administration. 11,000 advisors on the tightrope Public organizations in Spain have almost 20,000 advisors hired by hand . 85% of them, around 17,000, depend on the provincial councils and city councils. Hence, the Government has pointed out local corporations as the main savings objective in the reduction of the Administration on which it is working. The sources to which ECD has had access assure that technicians from the Ministry of Finance who are preparing the draft of the reform are now reviewing the position of almost 11,000 advisors at the local level to decide whether or not to continue in the positions they currently occupy in councils and town councils. It is intended to set the limit of temporary staff in local organizations at around 6,000 advisors . No more hand-picked appointments Sources familiar with the draft of the reform explain to this confidential that from now on they want to give more professional careers to public officials and employees who are already part of the administration.
They will then have to take care of the functions that advisors perform until now . It is also planned to require homogeneous criteria to be followed for the election of temporary personnel, eliminating at the root the hand-picked appointments of positions of trust . This means that when the required profile is not found within the Public Administration, it can be searched outside but justifying the experience and qualification of personnel who are not in the Administration. Without advisors in municipalities of less than 5,000 According to the sources consulted, another of the novelties hidden in the local administration reform being finalized by the Government is to prohibit by law the hiring of advisors in those municipalities with less than 5,000 inhabitants , and that one can be hired from that figure and up to the 10,000. The Executive intends to limit the number of temporary workers that each city council can hire so that it is proportionate to its staff of civil servants and political leaders. Now – they warn – there are municipalities with more advisors or freely appointed personnel than there are councilors . There will be no room for organisms to resist The Minister of Finance, Cristóbal Montoro, has ensured that he will be able to force regional and local bodies to carry out this cut. He has left them hardly any room to resist or oppose . It will force compliance with this reduction under the threat of not making the regional deficit more flexible for those who request it , taking advantage of the Budgetary Stability Law approved at the beginning of this legislature.
