Law of expropriation since the General Council in its session on 2 and 3 September 1993, has approved the following: Expropriation Act preamble The absence of a procedure of expropriation for public utility cause really operating and adapted to the needs of the Administration has been, for years, one of the main brakes on the development of the works and public services of the Principality. The old Decree 1958, despite the amendment in 1974, has highlighted from many years ago their weaknesses, as it tries to use virtually nil that you have done over the last decade. So despite the pressing need to acquire land for the development of the main public services, the Government has poured into the negotiation as a single via for the acquisition of land required for public works, with the consequence, that a single individual will sometimes suffered blankets could cripple practically indefinite the satisfaction of the general interest. The current state of the network of roads is a living example of the tangible and nul.la operation of the instruments that had the Administration in carrying out public service tasks which are its own, and the need to have an efficient procedure to acquire, even against the will of the owner, those goods and rights that are necessary for the execution of the works and services declared of general interest.

Aware of this situation, on 12 October 1989, the General Council of the Principality of Andorra approved unanimously a new expropriation law that introduced many new features compared to the previous legislation. Among them, the most important was, without a doubt, the creation of a special procedure for expropriation in the cases of construction, enlargement or renovation of roads, roads, squares, gardens or public parks. Through this procedure is intended to get the owners of real estate who, to be located within the area of influence of public works which is projected to run, had been of benefit, with particular intensity, of the plus-value generated by this public works, they must contribute to its funding, with the understanding that it is not an obligation to pay immediately for a work that may not report to the owner any immediate utility but the obligation to pay is linked to the time of completion of the plus-value, which the law does coincide with the time at which the property is subject to sale, or one in which you request permission to build it or make it work.

The aforementioned law introduced also other important developments with respect to the previous legislation, such as the possibility to acquire by expropriation not only property or real rights over real estate, but also other rights to acquire equity content, provided by any grounds of public interest; the attribution of competence in the Commons to records of expropriation; the possibility that parapublic entities may be, in certain conditions, the beneficiaries of a procedure of expropriation, that is, to acquire for this medium are the assets or rights needed for the management of the public service who are confident, satisfying for the right price or expropiatòria compensation, and the creation of an emergency procedure that would allow the use of expropriated property in a tiny deadlines , in cases that prove necessary for reasons of extreme need or of force majeure.

The law voted by the General Council in 1989 introduced these and other developments, which should become a eficacíssim instrument in the hands of the public administration. But on that date, the competition to pass a law like the expropriation, which affects directly the right of property, required the intervention of the co-princes. Therefore, the General Council of the Principality of Andorra did not promulgate the law, but that, as it was in the previous legislation, sent to the permanent representatives of the co-princes who were the institutional body competent to do so, in order that these aprovessin and sancionessin law. In the subsequent procedures of consensuació of the text arose some difficulties, more formal than the funds, which were delaying it to the point of doing the impossible.

Once approved the Constitution, having acquired the exclusive competence for the adoption of laws, and aware of the urgent need to have the Administration to have an effective instrument of expropriation, the General Council of the Principality of Andorra has made the creation of this instrument one of its priorities. For this reason, the Legislative Commission of public services, ratifying the contents of the bill approved by the General Council in 1989, has considered appropriate to adapt it to the new constitutional framework, in order to give to the public a widget of the political will of this Assembly not to deprive any longer in these administrations and, above all, the citizens of the Principality , they are, in short, the main recipients and beneficiaries in any process of expropriation for public utility cause.

The value of the Po has set by Decree the Government during the first year of validity of the present Law and must be updated every year by applying the following formula:-Pt = Kt x Po-Kt = 0.39 Ht/I + 0.20 Et/Eo + or,07 Ct/Co + 0.02 Lt/Lo + 0.17 St/sound + 0.15 where:-Kt = theoretical Coefficient of review for the year of execution t.

-I = Index of the cost of labor in the first year of validity of the law.

-Ht = Index of the cost of labor in "t".

-Eo = Index of energy cost in the first year of validity of the law.

-I = Index of cost of energy in "t".

-Co = Index of the cost of cement in the first year of validity of the law.

-Ct = Index of the cost of cement in "t".

-So the cost of steel materials Index = the first year of validity of the law.

-St = steel materials cost Index in "t".

It = Index of cost of linked bituminosos the first year of validity of the law.

-Lt = Index of cost of linked bituminosos in "t".

The values of the indexes of the year "t", as well as the first year of validity of the law, has to set by Decree the Government.

4. in all cases of expropriation must be guided by this procedure, you must include the necessary data that allow the expropriation Commission determining the value of the expropriation and the plus-value of each parcel.la, plot plans. laris, the surfaces If, if, S1, S2, S3 and Pt.

For the purposes of illustration the application of the procedure that determines this article include, as an annex to the present law, two examples regarding cases of opening of a new road, and the widening of an existing road.

Article 40 1. With respect to the ocupables property, the value of plus-value must be deducted from the compensation to be paid by the expropiant, as long as this sufficiently fianci, at the discretion of the judge, its total or partial refund, as a result of any resources that entaulin against the valuation.

2. If the compensation, it is still some difference in favor of the expropiant, you need to stick to this difference, in the next article, in respect of the payment of the value of plus-value on the part of the holders of non-ocupables estates.

3. Conversely, the resulting amount in favour of the expropriated, once made the compensation, the compensation to be paid to the expropiant on the occasion of the expropriation, without prejudice to the corrections that prosecuted as a result of any appeals against the valuation.

Article 41


1. With respect to the non-ocupables properties, their owners can pay the value of plus-value within the three months following that in which, in accordance with article 25, the Commission has been notified of the resolution of Expropriation, by consignment of the Expropriation before the judge, who will deliver the relevant provisional àpoca.

2. After the deadline indicated, are automatically organized into arrears the holders who have not proceeded to consign the value of plus-value, and in this case: a) the value of plus-value increases with a 5% for each year that lies between the date of expiration of the term of consignment and consignment or pay cash, without that the increases may exceed 50% of the initial value.

b) the value of plus-value, with the relevant increases according to the previous section, is the capital of plus-value, which produces, in favor of the expropiant, the legal interest from the day following the expiration of the term of consignment to that in which it is effectively consigned or paid.

c) cannot authorize any demand for construction, development, sale or disposal of estates subject to the payment of the plus-value, if their owners or who made the request does not certify the consignment or do not pay at that event in the expropiant capital of plus-value with the corresponding legal interests.

Article 42 1. The judge of the Expropriation must send to the expropiant the sums that, for the concept of value of plus-value, may be recorded in accordance with the previous article, at the time that the expropiant appropriated compensation and in the total or partial refund enough fianci as a result of the resources that may be holding against the valuation.

2. In the absence of financing ..., the judge must keep the consignment until the resolution has been firm due to lack of resource or, if this is the case, until until the resolution of this.

Article 43 1. Elapsed without effect the deadline for appeal against the decision of valuation and credited this to the expropiant, the judge of the Expropriation orders the cancellation of fiançaments and makes the final payment of the sums which, by plus-worth, get on consignment. Together, delivered the final àpoca consignants that anul.la and replaces the provisional.

2. The same effect with respect to the cancellation of fiançaments and delivery of final àpoques produces the execution of resolutions relapses in the resources eventually brought against the valuation.

Article 44 1. The filing of appeal against the valuation does not produce suspensive effects of the obligation of consignment of plus-value, nor of the increments and interests, without prejudice to the corresponding corrections to carry out once you have relapsed resolution.

2. The filing of appeals also does not produce stoppage or perverting the delivery to the expropiant of the sums recorded by plus-value, when the expropiant has paid bail.

Article 45 1. In cases where, having received plus-value, the expropiant officially discontinued the project, you will have to return to all owners of properties affected, occupied or not, the sums you have perceived in the concept of plus-value, increased with legal interests arising from the date on which he received.

2. The same is understood if, after five years from the perception, has not yet begun the work.

Title VI. Resources Article 46 the resolutions of the Commission expropriation which refer articles 23 and 25 put an end to the administrative. Against those resolutions and, in general, against the decisions of valuation, so much of the compensation as the plus-value, the interested parties may lodge an appeal before the Administrative and Tax Jurisdiction.

Article 47 1. The Administrative and Tax Jurisdiction set out in front of the resources only have devolutius effects, without which we will never be able to suspend, stop or hinder the execution of the decision under appeal, with regard to file transfer of the property or to the possession of the expropriated property or in the Constitution about these assets of constraints or limitations on what the expropriation consist, or their use for the purposes of the expropriation.

2. Does not have suspensive effects never of the execution of the decisions of the judge of the compulsory purchase or expropriation Commission the procedures and actions that those interested could promote before the ordinary jurisdiction in the matters, disputes and controversies that are reserved. The resolutions that they relapse, can only be made effective on the amounts recorded as compensation for the expropriated assets remaining and expropiant belonging to the convicted.

Article 48 the expropiant cannot formulate resource if, previously or simultaneously in their filing, not renowned for having paid the amount of the expenses and costs referred to in article 23.

Article 49 the controversies or disputes about ownership of the farms, on validity or annulment of the titles of those who intend to rights on those, or on the distribution of the compensation between the owners and the holders of rights of any nature are competence of the ordinary jurisdiction.

Final provisions First this law shall enter into force fifteen days after its publication.

Second abolishes all the foregoing relating to the matters regulated by this law and, in particular, the procedure for expropriation due to public interest, of 11 April 1958, and the modification of the Decree of expropriation due to public interest, of 5 July 1974.
