The Board of the General Meetings of Álava has given the green light this Tuesday to the calendar for processing the budget execution of the Historic Territory of Álava corresponding to 2027, one of the most relevant foral rules in the work of the Álava parliament.
As detailed in a note, the process will be set in motion this Friday, with the Diputación Foral de Álava submitting its accounts project for the territory.
After receiving the document, the Board of Meetings will proceed to qualify it, together with the Draft Foral Regulation of tax measures for 2027, and will send it to the meeting groups so that they may study it and continue with its processing.
The following week, on November 18, 19 and 20, the foral deputies and members of the foral deputation will go to the Álava parliament to present, area by area, their proposals. The appearances will be opened by the general deputy, on Wednesday 18, at 9.00 in the morning.
On November 21, the period will open for the meeting groups to register their amendments to the two draft foral regulations. The period for submitting amendments to the text of tax measures will end on December 1 and the one relating to the budget will finish on December 3.
On December 9, the Board of Meetings will qualify the amendments to the whole, which—if any—will be submitted to debate at the plenary session scheduled for Monday 14 December. In that same plenary session, the amendments to the whole to the tax measures project would also be addressed.
On December 3, the deadline for registering partial amendments will expire. These will be studied and debated in committee, with full regulatory powers, on December 16 and 17. The plenary session for the final approval of the budget project will be held on Monday 21 December.
The budgets of Álava also include a channel for citizen participation. Citizens may submit submissions regarding the foral accounts until November 20. These contributions will be qualified by the Board on Tuesday November 24 and, where applicable, raised to committee on Friday November 27.
OWN BUDGET
Along with the accounts and tax measures for the entire Historical Territory, the Alavese parliament will, on these same dates, address the processing of its own budget. On 24 November, the Board will refer to committee the proposal for a foral regulation relating to its internal accounts, and that same day the period for amendments will be opened, which will close on 2 December.
On Tuesday 3 December, the amendments to the budget of its own will be assessed, and on 11 December, in the committee on Rules and Internal Government, with full normative capacity, the corresponding proposal for a foral regulation will be debated.
