BARCELONA, 11 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Unió de Pagesos has demanded this Thursday the new Government to configure legislative proposals to improve prices at origin, taxation and to guarantee generational change, among other initiatives.
In a statement, the union has asked for a law to regulate the operation of the fish markets and markets at origin, as well as that of the price and cost observatories for all agricultural products.
In this area, they consider that an income stabilization instrument is needed, aimed at priority agricultural holdings, and a Catalan regional agricultural insurance.
In addition, they have demanded a decree law to “nullify” the additional obligations of the Fertilization Management Decree, to adjust it to European obligations, as well as a law to save companies in crisis and have instruments that help alleviate these situations .
Given the aging of the group, they have asked to regulate by law the land market and the creation of an autonomous fund of land and agrarian rights, to avoid speculation and hoarding – especially with non-agricultural activities -, and that it obliges to have the clean abandoned farms in charge of the owners.
RENEWABLE ENERGY IMPLEMENTATION MODEL
The union has demanded modifications in the Urbanism Law, with a new regulation to adapt the land for development classified as industrial to industrial land for renewable energy estates; limit wind farms and prioritize proximity of production to consumption centers, and limit municipal hectares.
They have also required modifications to incorporate the principles included in the Law of agrarian spaces in urban planning, territorial planning and road infrastructures.
WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT
The union has requested its own laws on the management of hunting and protected fauna, with means and protocols of alert and immediate action to avoid diseases, and full compensation for damage to agricultural holdings.
In his opinion, mountain areas must have a new law that guarantees the continuity and sustainable development of agricultural and forestry activities, as well as incorporating the participation and consensus of the sector into the management plans of protected natural areas. .
ADMINISTRATION AND TAX IMPROVEMENTS
Unió de Pagesos has added that the agrarian administration has to incorporate information and communication systems between the Ministry of Agriculture and the citizens, a public and free inspection service of agricultural and forestry machinery, as well as respect the rights of the group affected by the gap digital, among other services.
Regarding taxation, it has required norms to promote the cultivation of abandoned lands; for tax deductions corresponding to Personal Income Tax (IRPF), as well as a “fair, equitable and progressive” tax on personal income tax for professionals who live in isolated areas or nuclei with little population.
