The transfers to Galicia of initial work authorizations to foreign persons and non-commercial aerodromes are expected to be finalized in a Joint Transfer Commission in the community, in which the presence of the Minister of Territorial Policy, Ángel Víctor Torres, is scheduled for next Thursday, November 5.
This has been advanced by the president of the Xunta, Alfonso Rueda, at the end of the weekly meeting of the regional Executive. "We continue to grow in self-government with sense, as we always say, with useful transfers, transfers that we can manage to improve the lives of people," he asserted.
According to the calendar detailed by Rueda this Monday, these two new competencies will be added in this term to the already approved one regarding the management of the coastline in 2025, which was the first competency incorporated by the community in almost 17 years.
The head of the Xunta has emphasized the practical importance of assuming this competency to, for example, "streamline permits for activities" on the Galician coast "without ceasing to be strict in compliance with regulations."
In this context, he has valued that the central Government has set a date for the signing of the new transfers of competencies and has expressed his recognition to the negotiating teams of both administrations.
Advantages of the new competencies
"I hope that starting the day after November 5 we can expedite these work permits and solve many problems of job coverage that are currently affected by bureaucratic slowness that frustrates both the workers, who seek an opportunity in our land, and the people who want to hire them," the Galician president has conveyed.
In relation to the transfer of non-essential aerodromes and heliports, about 40 facilities spread across Galician territory would be involved.
Rueda recalled that, in the case of the management of the coastline, there was a conflict that the Constitutional Court (TC) resolved in favor of Galicia, and he has thanked that in these new transfers the central Executive assumed from the beginning that the claim was "logical," despite the fact that the Xunta has criticized on several occasions the slowness of the process.
Apart from these complaints, the Galician president has concluded that the result "is worth it."
