KING OF SPAIN

To all who present it and understand it.

Sabed: That the General Courts have approved and I come to sanction the following law.

PREAMBLE

I

The severe recession that the Spanish economy has been experiencing since 2008, the result of the accumulation of imbalances during the previous years, has made it necessary to adopt deep urgent reforms to recover the growth. Reforms that have been inserted into an economic policy strategy based on two pillars: fiscal consolidation and structural reforms to boost the flexibility of the markets and restore the competitiveness of the Spanish economy loss since entry into the euro.

The intense reform agenda has allowed Spain to regain its competitiveness and thus the growth path and the confidence of the markets. The significant progress in the correction of imbalances is reflected in the evolution of the main macroeconomic indicators showing how Spain has managed to reduce the public deficit, to reach a surplus in the current account and capacity for external financing, to reduce private debt and to moderate the growth of prices and labour costs.

In 2014, the favorable economic data allow us to conclude that the economic recovery is taking hold at a steady and sustained pace. Spain accumulates four quarters of gross domestic product growth and ten consecutive months of job creation, with data corrected for seasonal and calendar effects, with nearly 300,000 jobs created.

These positive indicators are a sign of the need to deepen the reforms undertaken to promote economic recovery and job creation. Reforms that continue to focus on correcting imbalances and improving competitiveness.

Within the reforms to improve competitiveness is where the Plan of Measures for Growth, Competitiveness and Efficiency is framed, approved by the Council of Ministers on June 6, which provides for a package of measures that are respectful of the objective of fiscal consolidation, which will boost the present and future growth and competitiveness of the economy and business financing. They are all aimed at increasing competitiveness and promoting the efficient functioning of markets and improving financing, as well as improving employability.

In the framework of these measures, this Law has three main axes: the first, to promote the competitiveness and efficient functioning of the markets; the second, to improve access to finance; and, the third, to promote the employability and occupation. In addition, some fiscal reform measures are underway.

II

The first set of measures relates to the financing of economic activity.

Law 14/2013 of 27 September, supporting entrepreneurs and their internationalisation, sought to address the difficulty of access to external financing by Spanish companies by strengthening and giving greater flexibility to the public financial instruments available in the field of internationalisation, including those managed by the Spanish Development Finance Company COFIDES, S.A. (COFIDES). This Law, with this objective, adapted one of the instruments available for internationalization, by COFIDES, the FIEX (Fund for Investment in the Foreign), aimed at non-SME enterprises.

But, in the current scenario of economic crisis and, in particular, due to the difficulty of access to credit by Spanish SMEs, it is now necessary to act quickly to extend this change to the Fund for Operations of Investment in the External Relations of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (FONSMEs), an instrument also managed by COFIDES, especially aimed at SMEs, and created, as the previous one, by Law 66/1997 of 30 December Administrative, Fiscal and Social Order.

The intervention of multilateral banks and international financial institutions can help to improve the financing conditions of Spanish SMEs and facilitate their internationalisation process, thereby promoting the economic recovery and job creation in our country. In the current economic, credit and credit ratings situation in the Spanish economy it is possible to speak of two broad broad lines of potential support from these institutions in favour of Spanish SMEs. First, the possibility of providing, through financial intermediaries, financing on preferential terms to companies for their investment projects and liquidity needs. Secondly, the question of providing Spanish financial institutions with guarantees of a high quality that favour the internationalisation of the Spanish company. In this way, the technical and financial guarantees offered by these same financial institutions to support their business customers who wish to participate in procurement processes and/or to participate in the procurement process will be internationally acceptable. international tender.

It has to be remembered that the ICO has played an increasingly important instrumental role in the last two years to facilitate and channel these supports to the Spanish productive fabric, especially acting as a financial intermediary. able to absorb a high volume of financing from multilateral banks and international financial institutions, which is subsequently channelled to SMEs through the Spanish financial institutions through the ICO mediation.

To take full advantage of the potential offered by multilateral banks and international financial institutions, as well as potential funders of high quality guarantors for the internationalisation process. Spanish companies include the articulation of an ICO guarantee program to promote the financing and internationalization of the Spanish company. By means of this programme, the guarantees which the ICO grants under its protection-and within the quantitative limits which are to be established annually-will in turn enjoy, as is already the case with all the obligations relating to the collection of of the ICO, the direct, explicit, unconditional and irrevocable guarantee of the State.

The amount of guarantees and guarantees granted by the Institute of Official Credit under this Program will be charged to the debt limit that the Institute has authorized annually. Given the contingent nature of the guarantees and guarantees, the amount granted does not have any impact for the purposes of the calculation of the deficit or the public debt. There would also be no impact in the event of implementation since, in any case, the ICO is not part of the general government sector according to the current European system of national accounts.

The current difficulties encountered by Spanish SMEs in their internationalisation process for obtaining guarantees with sufficient quality, coupled with the interest already shown and committed by some entities International financial and multilateral banks for the provision of sufficient guarantees for our SMEs, determine the need to include this Program of guarantees in this Law.

On the other hand, the end of the period of lack of the amortisation of the loans formalized in the first phase of the mechanism of payments to providers articulated in the Royal Decree-Law 4/2012, of 24 of 24 of February. In relation to those transactions, through the regulation included in this Law, local entities will be allowed to cancel their debts with the Fund for Financing of Payments to Suppliers (hereinafter FFPP) before their amortization.

A number of packages have recently been approved of measures to modify the financial conditions contained in the loan agreements formalized by the local authorities with the FFPP. Those measures are contained in the Government's Delegated Commission for Economic Affairs Agreement whose main features were published by Order PRE/966/2014 of 10 June.

However, due to the global financial situation of the sector and the improvement of the conditions of the financial markets, these are opening up in the case of local authorities, which can allow them to (a) refinancing operations or replacement of loans formalised with the FFPP under better financial conditions than those covered by the latter contracts. This can help to increase the liquidity of local entities and to consolidate the improvement of their financial situation.

In the current scenario these refinancing or replacement operations would not be possible for the following reasons: First, the operation with the FFPP is a long-term loan operation. This operation was intended to derogate from the arrangements for the authorisation of debt transactions applicable to local authorities, since none of the limits laid down in the recast of the Law on the Regulatory Law of the European Union were taken into account. Local farms (hereinafter TRLRHL) nor the purpose of the operation, which has been used to finance current expenditure. Secondly, this operation has the guarantee of participation in state taxes. Third, only the operations mentioned in the framework of the payment mechanism to suppliers can be used for those purposes. Any long-term loan operation intended to be formalised with a financial institution outside that framework should be used to finance investments and be subject to the TRLRHL scheme, in addition to a waiver of the guarantee. mentioned. The aforementioned purpose would never be met because, if formalized, the operation would replace another that has financed current expenditure (but that could only be done with that operation and not with any other present or future).

As soon as it appears, it is considered necessary to introduce a legal amendment to allow the replacement of the aforementioned loan operations, provided that the conditions and conditions provided for are met.

III

Within the measures to boost economic activity, this Law sets out to promote retail trade and market unity.

The modification of Article 6 of Law 7/1996, of 15 January, of the Ordination of Retail Trade, which is carried out by this Law, is intended, in addition to its compliance with Law 20/2013, of 9 December, to guarantee the unity of market, to deepen the process of simplification and rationalisation of the authorisation procedures followed in the area of retail trade.

In this way, the main changes proposed in the current wording of Article 6 refer to the following aspects:

An express reference is made to the general rule of non-submission to administrative authorization at the opening of commercial establishments, for which, failing that, it may submit to a responsible declaration or communication prior. With the aim of also subject to basic regulation the remaining actions related to commercial establishments, other situations such as transfers and extensions of the establishments are regulated in the first paragraph. have been subjected to heterogeneous treatment in autonomic regulation.

The overriding reasons of general interest are in line with those provided for in Article 17.1.b) of Law 20/2013 of 9 December 2013 on the guarantee of the market unit, relating to the possible damage to the environment, in the environment urban and artistic historical heritage, as a consequence of the analysis of necessity and proportionality carried out on the possible restrictions, in coherence with the reference to the overriding reasons of general interest applicable to the distribution Article 6 of Law 7/1996 of 15 January 1996, which was already listed in the previous wording of Article 6 of Law 7/1996, In particular, in view of the existing consensus on the matter in the sector, in the light of the current autonomous regulatory development and the administrative practice derived from that sector. This is without prejudice to the fact that the current commercial regulation is compatible with the sectoral regulation on public health and safety, which is generally applicable to the opening of all types of establishments.

The measures for administrative simplification and rationalisation are further deepened by enshrining the integrated procedure for commercial authorisation by including all actions in a single procedure which it shall be the competence of a single authority managing the different phases from the same application. This offers a single interlocutor to the citizens, which facilitates the interrelation of those with the Administration in matters of opening of commercial establishments. The competent authority for the granting of commercial authorisations shall be determined by the Autonomous Communities.

The time limit for the resolution of these procedures is reduced to three months, because on the one hand, sufficient time is understood for the substantiation of these procedures, and another is appreciated in the current practice of the procedures, a divergence of time limits which prevents precise determination of the total length of time spent on evacuation. Successive deadlines are often set for independent actions-which could be carried out simultaneously-which do not contribute to clarifying the total time spent effectively, so it is appropriate to set a limit within which the relevant resolution (granting or not granting the authorisation) has to be produced, in such a way as to allow the formalities to be completed, where possible, to delete those expendable or to be processed simultaneously.

This reform of Article 6 of Law 7/1996, of January 15, is undertaken in compliance with the provisions of Law 20/2013 of 9 December, which granted a period of six months to proceed with the necessary regulatory changes. for the adequacy of the sectoral legislation in force to the aforementioned Law on the market unit guarantee.

On the other hand, this Law contains a set of urgent measures of a liberalizing nature in the area of commercial distribution. The removal of restrictions in this area has been a repeated recommendation of international bodies such as the International Monetary Fund and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.

Thus, the liberalization of timetables, operated by the Royal Decree-Law 20/2012 of July 13, of measures to guarantee the budgetary stability and the promotion of competitiveness, is deepened.

Law 1/2004, of 21 December, of Commercial Horarios, is amended in order to guarantee the effective consideration and motivation of the circumstances to be taken into account for the determination of the zones of great affluence On the other hand, the Autonomous Communities at the instance of the Aymóglos, which for the first time were regulated with a basic character in the Royal Decree-Law 20/2012, of July 13. To this end, the need for both municipal applications for a declaration of a large tourist influx and the decisions of the Autonomous Communities to be duly founded on objective criteria is reinforced in such a way that, (a) the assumptions in which there are no unjustified restrictions on territorial areas or temporary periods of duration in these areas, the principle of the freedom of hours for the whole of the municipality and the whole of the annual period; In any event, the municipal application shall in any event be duly substantiated.

With the same objective, the population threshold of the municipalities of more than 200,000 inhabitants is reduced to more than 100,000 inhabitants and that of the overnight stays of more than one million overnight stays to more than 600,000 overnight stays, with the In order to increase the number of Spanish cities which are obliged to declare at least one area with a large tourist influx, the ten new cities listed in Annex I to this Law, which join the 14 required related in the Annex to Royal Decree-Law 20/2012 of 13 July.

In coherence with these amendments to Law 1/2004 of 21 December, of Commercial Horarios, it is established that the Autonomous Communities where municipalities that have met these requirements in 2013 will have to declare at least one area of high tourist affluence in those municipalities within six months of the entry into force of Royal Decree-Law 8/2014 of 4 July and which, in the absence of such a declaration, these municipalities shall have full freedom of business hours throughout the entire annual period.

In the same sense, in relation to the municipalities in respect of which that declaration has not yet been adopted in compliance with the 11th Additional Disposition of Royal Decree-Law 20/2012, of July 13, a two months since the entry into force of Royal Decree-Law 8/2014 of 4 July 2014, in order for the Autonomous Communities to adopt the relevant resolution, so that in the event that it is not resolved within that period, it shall also be understood that the Affected municipalities will have full freedom of business hours throughout the annual period throughout the municipal term.

These changes in the regulation of areas of high tourist influx, first defined in 2012, aim to take advantage of the synergies arising from the relationship between tourism and trade, as tourism is a driving factor in commercial activity which increases the capacity for generating employment and economic activity. In other words, a wide, varied and available commercial offer at times of tourist influx undoubtedly multiplies the economic impact of tourism and contributes to the generation of growth and employment.

This reality justifies both the introduction of new criteria for the delimitation and declaration of areas of great tourist influx, and the revision of the indicators that condition the mandatory declaration of zones, which it will make it possible to increase the number of large populations that will have to have at least one area of this nature and which will be able to benefit from the strong increase in the number of tourists and tourist spending in 2014.

In short, the normative changes contained in this Law on the liberalization of trade hours bring cause and pursue as objectives the improvement of the employment and the sales, the increase of the productive capacity the country, the promotion of business investment to maintain the opening of the establishments, the dynamization of private consumption and the turnover of the sector. They also provide an improvement in the service to consumers and their freedom of choice, thus responding to social changes, maximising tourism revenues and increasing the country's tourism potential. On the other hand, it is worth noting a positive effect on the reconciliation of work and family life and on the ability of traditional trade to compete with the online. Finally, it is intended to make it easier for municipalities to declare new areas of high tourist influx so that those affected can have the necessary tools to urge their declaration in the shortest possible time.

On the other hand, the Law 20/2013, of 9 December, of guarantee of the market unit, requires an evaluation and permanent review of the means of intervention of the Public Administrations in order to guarantee the free access to the market and equality in the exercise of economic activities throughout the national territory.

As a result of the evaluation of the current legislation in the field of cinematography, it is considered necessary to undertake a timely modification of Law 55/2007, of December 28, of the Cinema, in order to abolish the obligation of registration in the Administrative Register of Film and Audiovisual Enterprises of the Institute of Cinematography and Audiovisual Arts, or in the equivalent of the Autonomous Communities, which as an enabling requirement has so far been required production and distribution companies. Similarly, the requirement of registration which was imposed on the holders of the cinema exhibition rooms is replaced by a communication, which is necessary to verify compliance with the procedures established for the control of the cinema. assistance and the declaration of returns, as well as the control of the obligation of screen-share. In line with these changes in the registration obligations, a review of the legal regime of the Administrative Registry of Film and Audiovisual Companies is approved, which is reordered with a declarative purpose and (a) information and to which the undertakings in the sector will be accessed, by means of an application for registration of their own office when such undertakings begin before the Institute of Cinematography and the Audiovisual Arts any proceedings relating to the acquisition of certificates, credits, aid and other incentives provided for in Law 55/2007 of 28 December 2007, all to facilitate and speed up the successive actions that can be carried out in any other procedure.

In relation to the registrations made by the records of the cinematographic and audiovisual companies autonomic, the forecast is maintained that these inscriptions carry their inscription in the register of the Institute of the Cinematography and the Audiovisual Arts, but, in addition, the possibility of voluntary access to this register, by application, is recognized for those companies that radiate in some Autonomous Community that do not have registration of companies and need to credit their registration in any administrative procedure.

Credit and debit cards are one of the payment instruments that have become more relevant in recent years, with more than 70 million units in circulation issued in Spain and an annual volume of transactions close to one hundred billion euros. They are, without a doubt, the most frequently used electronic payment instrument in retail purchases. So the proper functioning of this payment market must not only be clearly beneficial for retailers and consumers, but provided that the use of payment systems is at an economically efficient level, it will be encouraged. innovation in the sector and the best conditions for price formation and transparency.

Recently, at the level of the European Union, the Commission has launched a proposal for a Regulation on exchange rates for payment transactions based on a card, the aim of which is to regulate and limit exchange rates and thus complement the existing regulatory framework in the field of payment services in the European Union, in order to achieve a genuine internal market for payments.

The current economic context of the nascent economic recovery and the need to boost the Spanish electronic payments market suggest that the adoption of these measures in Spain should be brought forward to ensure the existence of payments. Secure, efficient, competitive and innovative electronics that dynamise consumption.

The aim, therefore, to limit exchange rates is to encourage the use of payment cards and to give rise to greater acceptance of payment cards, encouraging innovation in the sector in this area, in particular with regard to the payments of small amounts. The aim is to encourage consumers to see the possibility of using different means of payment and to promote efficiency in the use of cards in the different marketing channels, whether physical and traditional, or linked electronic commerce and the use of the mobile phone.

In particular, the limitation of exchange rates is applicable to transactions carried out with a payment card, with a maximum limitation of 0.2% in debit and 0.3% in credit. For payments of less than EUR 20, a maximum threshold of 0.1% is set for debit cards and 0.2% for credit cards. In addition, for payments with debit cards, the maximum level of the fee will be, in any case, 7 euro cents, which will therefore apply for all payments of more than 35 euros.

The limitation of these fees will have a beneficial effect on retail, which will see its cost reduced in card transactions. In order to immediately transfer this benefit to final customers (order of payments), it is expressly prohibited that the companies benefiting from the payment will carry out any additional expenditure or quotas for the use of the debit or credit.

This legal regime is complemented by certain measures aimed at the transparency, monitoring and control of the implementation of the new regulation. In particular, payment service providers shall inform the Banco de España of the discount and exchange rates effectively applied to payment services in transactions with a card more commonly provided. This information shall be published on the electronic page of the Banco de España and the payment service provider, and shall allow for the proper monitoring of the effects of this standard and of the general evolution of costs in this type of payment.

Also, the Electronic Card Payments Observatory is mandated to monitor the application of the limitations with special attention to the costs passed on to merchants and consumers and users.

IV

In the exercise of exclusive State competence, taking into account the direct management of airports of general interest, this Law requires the regime of the network of airports of general interest as a service of interest In order to ensure the mobility of citizens and economic, social and territorial cohesion, in order to ensure the accessibility, sufficiency and suitability of the capacity of airport infrastructure, the general economic network, as well as the continuity and adequate provision of services Basic airports. The network management, on the other hand, ensures the economic sustainability of the airports integrated into it by allowing, under conditions of transparency, objectivity and non-discrimination, the sustainability of the loss-making infrastructure.

The guarantee of compliance with the objectives of general interest that have been defined is achieved by a double track. On the one hand, the integrity of the airport network is established as long as its survival ensures the mobility of citizens and economic, social and territorial cohesion, in terms of accessibility, sufficiency, suitability, sustainability and continuity. From the other, the framework is established to which the basic airport services are subject and the characteristics and conditions which such a network should have in order to ensure the objectives of general interest. Thus, the closure or disposal, in whole or in part, of any of the airport facilities or infrastructure necessary to maintain the provision of airport services, with the exception of the authorisation of the Council of Ministers or of the Ministry of Public Works, which may be granted only if it does not affect the objectives of general interest to be guaranteed by that network and provided that it does not compromise its sustainability; the absence of such authorisation is in line with the penalty for full nullity the right, all as a guarantee of the full maintenance of the state airport network; airport charges and their essential elements, the basic airport services and the framework for determining the minimum standards of quality, capacity and conditions for the provision of the services and investments required for their compliance, as well as the conditions for the recovery of the costs arising from the provision of these basic airport services.

In terms of the airport manager's revenues linked to the basic airport services, these have a nature of public property benefits. Its regulation respects the reserve of law in its creation by Law 21/2003, of July 7, of Air Safety, as amended by Law 1/2011, of March 4, and in the determination of its essential elements. The fixing of the maximum per passenger income for each year of the five-year period in the Airport Regulation Document (DORA) approved by the Council of Ministers, or the determination of these public property benefits by the Council of Ministers. Administration of Aena, constitute mere acts of application of the methodology and the formulas of annual update, and in its case, of the impact of the bonuses provided for in this Law, therefore it is safeguarded the legal reserve demanded to this type of capabilities.

Just as it happens in the regulatory models of other countries in our environment, the revenues of the airport manager associated with the basic airport services will be conditioned by the fulfillment of a maximum income annual per passenger, the determination of which shall be based on the recovery of efficient costs recognised by the regulator.

Compliance or non-compliance with certain quality conditions of the service or investment will determine the application of incentives or penalties on these annual maximum authorised passenger revenues which, together with the Deviations from planned values should be taken by the manager from other income, among others, from commercial revenues, those associated with their international activity or from urban management.

The management of non-essential airport services, as well as the commercial management of infrastructure or its urban exploitation, is subject to the free market.

The instrument that establishes the concrete obligations arising from this framework is the Airport Regulation Document (DORA) adopted for five-year periods, after hearing the representative organizations of the users of the network's airports. However, the DORA shall inform the Airport Coordination Committees established by Royal Decree-Law 20/2012 of 13 July 2012 of measures to ensure budgetary stability and to promote competitiveness.

Finally, the legal system of transparency, consultation, non-discrimination and supervision in the field of airport charges is adapted to the new regulatory framework, adapting the established transposition of the Directive. 2009 /12/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2009 on airport charges and in force on the entry into force of this Law.

The articulation of this legal regime allows, on the other hand, to establish the conditions which ensure that the network of airports of general interest fulfils its task as a service of general economic interest, in the event that The right to enter private capital in Aena, S. A., while being strictly subject to the principle of proportionality, balances the right to freedom of enterprise within a framework of free market economy, as recognised in Article 38 of the Treaty. Constitution, with public intervention to guarantee the general interest as prevented by the article 128.1 of the Magna Carta. The arrangements in question are in line with the provisions of Article 14 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

The adoption of this regime, moreover, is necessary to strengthen the economic efficiency and the efficiency in the management of the network of airports of general interest, in order to enhance the activity of air transport, main In addition, it would be beneficial to the beneficiary, even without disknowledge of the positive impact of the increased efficiency of airport management in other segments of aviation, such as general aviation and sports. In addition, adopting the new legal framework prior to any decision on the entry of private capital into the social capital of Aena, S. A., is essential to ensure investor confidence.

In this sense, it is important to note that the trajectory followed by Aena Aeropuertos during the last few years, the current Spanish economic situation and the general situation of the financial markets, make possible the entry of private capital in the management of Aena Aeropuertos in the short term, being in any case necessary to provide the system with the basic characteristics that make it possible to make such an opportunity.

Thus, it is necessary to set up a sound, stable and predictable system of economic regulation, which gives confidence and certainty to the markets and allows, in the short term, the investment community to perceive that the framework under which their investment will be developed to ensure the recovery of their regulated costs and the adequate remuneration of their assets, all in a certain and visible way, without these characteristics having to be at odds with the unquestionable principles of good business management required by the regulator. All of this will make it possible to maximise the valuation of our airport network, which will undoubtedly benefit our economy and our society.

The private capital entrance at Aena Airports will have to come necessarily accompanied by a complex valuation process, which will be extended for several months, in which analysts and investors will assess the society, examining in detail all the components of its investment, in which the regulatory envelope will play a key value and that it does not do but abunits in the need to have a known regulatory framework.

the reasons for the need for the adoption of these measures are to contribute to the strengthening of air transport which, by virtue of its connection with the country's main economic activity, tourism, is a source of employment and motor of economic activity, in particular in an economic context in which tourism is essential for the reactivation of the economic activity of the country, through the establishment of the necessary measures to ensure the management efficient airports, ensuring that they fulfil the obligations of general interest as a service of general economic interest.

In addition, taking into account the economic context, it is equally necessary to establish this regulatory framework to take advantage of market opportunities and ensure the highest value of the network.

V

Scientific and technical progress has in recent years contributed to the progress of aviation by allowing new airspace users to receive various names such as drones, RPAs, Remote Piloted Aircraft) or UAVs (for short, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle).

These technological developments have also led to a considerable reduction in the cost of acquiring this type of aircraft, allowing for a proliferation of their use in an almost indiscriminate manner with the consequent risks to the aircraft. air safety that this entails.

To ensure a progressive transition and a high level of civil aviation security, it is necessary to establish the specific legal regime applicable to these aircraft and to the air activities developed by them. These regulatory measures should reflect the current state of the art, while also collecting the needs of the industry industry by enhancing its uses.

This law establishes the operating conditions of these aircraft for the performance of technical or scientific work or, in the terms of European Union regulations, specialised operations, as well as for flights of proof of production and maintenance, of demonstration, for research programmes on the feasibility of carrying out certain activities with civil aircraft piloted by remote control, development of new products or to demonstrate the security of the specific operations of technical or scientific work, permitting, this form, its immediate application.

These conditions, the application of which will be temporary, are supplemented by the general regime of Law 48/1960 of 21 July on Air Navigation, which is amended to establish the general legal framework for the use and operation of the civil aircraft piloted by remote control, taking into account, as provided for in the European Union rules on specialised operations, the dual possibility of submitting the activity to a communication prior to or an authorization.

The specific regime of the operations of the civilian aircraft piloted by remote control shall be established in accordance with the state of the art. However, as a result of this regulatory development, the operations of the sector with the necessary levels of security are guaranteed with the temporary regime established in this Law. The operation of civilian aircraft operated by remote control weighing less than 150 kg and those of a higher weight for the performance of fire-fighting and search and rescue activities is addressed exclusively. The rest would be subject to European Union legislation.

The reasons for establishing the legal framework applicable to the operations of the civilian aircraft piloted by remote control stem from the need to provide a legal framework under security conditions that will allow for the development of a technology sector with a high capacity for growth, particularly in view of the fact that, in the current economic context, it is necessary to provide for measures to diversify economic activity and to strengthen industrial activity, for the benefit of the economy and employment. In this respect it is relevant, for example, that in France in two years since the regulation of the activity they have more than 600 companies enabled to operate these aircraft.

It is necessary to strengthen the competitiveness of Spanish industry, putting it on an equal footing with other states in our environment that have already addressed the regulation of the sector or are in the process of regulation.

Additionally, it is mandatory to provide a legal framework for a sector that lacks specific provisions. It is therefore necessary to ensure the safety of the air operations and the persons and the underlying assets, enabling the operation of these aircraft under security conditions and their control by the State Aviation Safety Agency, avoidance of safety risks that may lead to accidents or incidents of aviation.

On the other hand, the competences of the Ministries of Defense and Development in the field of airspace are articulated through the provisions of the Royal Decree-Law 12/1978 of 27 April on the fixing and delimitation of powers between the Ministries of Defence and Transport and Communications in the field of civil aviation, and Law 21/2003 of 7 July on Air Safety.

According to this regime to the Ministry of Defense, in addition to the powers related to the defense of the airspace of national sovereignty, it is up to the competition in terms of structuring the airspace, the control of the operational air circulation and, in time of armed conflict or in extraordinary or emergency circumstances, agreed respectively by the President of the Government or the Ministry of Defence, the control of the general air circulation. The Ministry of Public Works is responsible for exercising the powers of control of the general air circulation in peacetime.

Attending, however, to the incidence that the exercise of the respective competences has in the matters attributed to each ministerial department, the coordination, study and report of the issues related to the space The air is attributed to an inter-ministerial commission composed of representatives of both ministries, currently the Inter-Ministerial Commission between Defense and Development (CIDEFO).

The accumulated experience and the European rules for the Single Sky, in particular on the flexible use of airspace, advise reorganising the allocation of powers and the exercise of functions in the field of airspace, At the same time it is necessary to update the rest of the functions attributed to CIDEFO by concreting them in the strictly necessary ones for the coordination between the Ministries of Defense and Development.

With this objective, this Law attributes to the Ministries of Defense and Promotion the joint competence in matters of policy and strategy for the structuring and management of the airspace, as well as the adoption of the specific measures in this field. The Ministry of Public Works attributes the determination of the conditions or restrictions of use of airspace for the general air circulation to situations of ordinary crises generated by natural phenomena, accidents or any other Similar circumstance, reserving to the Ministry of Defense the competences on the subject in extraordinary or emergency situations declared by the President of the Government or the Ministry of Defense.

To complete this regime, CIDEFO is assigned executive and decision-making functions in the field of shared competences in the field of structuring and management of airspace, which, as provided for in the Regulation (EC) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2150/2005 of 23 December 2005 laying down common rules for the flexible use of airspace should be adopted by means of a joint civil-military process, making it particularly relevant to the exercise through this collegiate body.

Moreover, the regime for the delimitation of competences between the Ministries of Defense and Development in relation to the air bases opened to the civil traffic and the airfields of joint use, incorporating to the Law 21/2003, of 7 July, the scheme provided for in Royal Decree-Law 12/1978 of 27 April, which is repealed.

In this context of updating in terms of competences, the competence of the Ministry of Public Works in relation to the supervision of compliance with the rules in the single sky is also specific.

In addition, Law 21/2003 of July 7, of Air Safety, is amended, adapting the national legislation to the single Community rules of the sky and to establish a general obligation for those persons who can put at risk the security, regularity and continuity of the operations under which they must refrain from carrying out, in the airport environment, conduct involving such risks, in particular by the use of elements, lights, projectors or emissions laser.

The regime of breaches of the Law is also updated, in order to make the actions or omissions of the aeronautical subjects which infringe the provisions of Commission Regulation (EU) No 255/2010 of 25 March 2010, be updated. 2010, establishing common rules on the management of air traffic flows.

For reasons of legal certainty, it is clear that the procedures for the authorisation of air operations and the use of airspace and special operations are included in the derogation provided for in Article 43.1 of the Treaty. Law 30/1992, of 26 November 1992, of the Legal Regime of the Administrations and of the Common Administrative Procedure, to the rule of the positive administrative silence by virtue of the overriding reason of the general interest to preserve the air safety. For the same reasons, the authorisations of the operations and activities carried out by remote-controlled aircraft operated by remote-controlled aircraft are exempted from that rule.

In the port area, the measures are aimed at improving the competitiveness and land connectivity of ports of general interest.

To this effect, it is necessary to introduce modifications in the Recast Text of the Law of Ports of the State and of the Merchant Navy, approved by the Royal Legislative Decree 2/2011, of 5 September, that they are aimed to strengthen the competitiveness in the port sector and the increase of private investment in port and connection infrastructures between the modes of maritime and land transport, which will help to promote intermodal transport.

Thus, the measures that, in this sense, are adopted in this Law are directed, basically: (a) the increase in the deadline for port demanial concessions, raising it to the ceiling of 50 years, which has led to the need to introduce the corresponding transitional law rule governing the extension of the initial period of the concessions granted prior to the entry into force of Royal Decree-Law 8/2014 of 4 July 2014; b) the introduction of a new assumption of extraordinary extension associated with the contribution for the financing of infrastructure port connectivity and improvement of freight transport networks; c) to the establishment of the Fund Financial for Port Land Accessibility and (d) the lifting of the ban on the use of hotels, hostels or accommodation for certain disused port infrastructures, located within the port public domain and subject to protection to be part of the historical heritage, in order to promote the preservation of this heritage, in the same terms as intended for the headlights.

With regard to the regulation of the concession period, the evolution of the logistic market makes it necessary a great investment volume to maintain the levels of efficiency and competitiveness in a global framework. In this context, it is noted that the new investment needs require longer repayment periods, which exceed the maximum concessional time limits that the current legislation authorizes.

In addition, it is necessary to homogenize the maximum concessional deadlines in Spain with the existing ones in the European ports with the object that the national harbour field is on the same level of competitive conditions in the international scenario and not a weakness for private investment recruitment.

The increase of the maximum period of concessions helps to further enhance the concessional figure as an instrument of public-private collaboration, favoring the execution of projects with attractive profitability for the port operators as well as the introduction of new technologies and processes in existing concessions to improve their efficiency, including energy efficiency, in order to increase their competitiveness, which will be a acceleration of private investment and economic activity in ports.

The increase in concessional deadlines will mean the increase in the competitiveness of the sector in relation to our international competitors and will reduce the logistical costs for the Spanish industry in terms of exports and imports, enhancing the increase in economic activity and the generation of jobs in the sector, as well as in the domestic industry for the reduction of its logistical costs.

In relation to the above, it is also necessary to include a transitional law rule, applicable to concessions granted prior to the entry into force of Royal Decree-Law 8/2014 of 4 July 2014, in order to allow the holders of the same can, under certain conditions, benefit from the extension of the maximum period of the concessions to 50 years, which will make it possible to match the competitive position of these dealers with that of those who in the future obtain their concession without the limit of the 35-year maximum concession period in force until now.

In summary, consideration is given to extending the deadline for existing concessions provided that the concessionaire undertakes to carry out, at least one of the following actions: a relevant additional investment; a contribution to the financing of land-connection infrastructure of the ports; and, finally, a reduction of the maximum tariffs that may apply to them.

The cases of extraordinary extension are also extended, adding to that of the already existing additional investment, the possibility of financing of the terrestrial accesses to the ports, the adaptation of the general railway network common use or improvement of general transport networks in order to promote intermodality and rail freight, in order to improve the competitive position of ports.

The need for its implementation is associated with the growing loss of competitiveness of Spanish ports on the international stage due to its high costs and the possibility of loss of significant investments in Spain. reason.

Another of the measures adopted in this Law, as indicated, implies the creation of the Financial Fund for Port Land Accessibility through the contributions of the Port Authorities and Ports of the State in concept of loan. The creation of this fund will allow the generation of more favourable conditions of financing to alleviate the deficit of road and rail connections to the ports of general interest that are reducing their competitiveness and conditioning the concessional private investment in the same.

The construction of land access to ports and adequate connectivity is a strategic factor for the development of Spanish ports as a logistics platform for southern Europe and is also an important factor in the competitiveness. It is necessary to articulate measures in order to be able to face the construction of these accesses, as part of the private investment is conditioned in some cases to the same.

Finally, within the so-called port public domain there are certain infrastructures that are part of the historical heritage and to which, in the interests of its preservation, it is considered necessary to extend the exceptions established in the Law of Ports of the State and the Merchant Navy for the installations of maritime signage, contemplating the possibility of hotel use, which will contribute to its protection, avoiding, at the time, the tax that it supposes for the Harbour Authorities the maintenance of these constructions and installations in disused, which must be preserved, but which have no viability for new port uses; as well as to boost the tourist development of the areas in which they are located.

This measure is determined by the increasing deterioration of this historical heritage due to its long period of absence and the difficulties inherent in maintaining the property of remarkable antiquity, requiring the most prompt collaboration of private initiative to ensure their conservation.

The modifications introduced in the Recast Text of the Law of Ports of the State and the Merchant Navy are adopted under the jurisdiction of the jurisdiction that is derived from Article 149.1 of the Constitution, in respect of the subjects listed with the ordinal 20. and

Energy is a series of measures aimed at ensuring sustainability and accessibility in the hydrocarbon markets, as well as establishing an energy efficiency system in line with the guidelines.

Royal Decree 1085/1992 of 11 September 1992 on the regulation of the activity of the distribution of liquefied petroleum gases (hereinafter 'LPG') provides, in Article 25, that the companies supplying the LPG shall be supplied to any applicant thereof, and its extension to any subscriber who so requests, provided that the place where the delivery of the gas is to be carried out is within the geographical scope of the authorisation. granted.

As far as market players are concerned, Law 34/1998 of 7 October of the hydrocarbon sector retained the figure of the wholesale operator, but amended the figure of the LPG supplying company, creating the Bulk LPG marketer and the packaged LPG retail market. Also, in the amendment of the aforementioned Law, given by Law 25/2009, of 22 December, amending various laws for its adaptation to the Law on the free access to the activities of services and their exercise, the regimes of authorisation for the exercise of the activity of the wholesale LPG operator and the bulk carrier of LPG, replacing it with a communication on the start of the activity, accompanied by a statement responsible for compliance with the requirements for their exercise.

Law 34/1998 of 7 October of the hydrocarbon sector in Article 47.1 states that the retail sale of liquefied petroleum gases will be carried out freely, although in Article 47.3 it provides that only the exclusive supply arrangements for liquefied petroleum gases which are packaged, between operators and traders, may be established only when users are guaranteed to apply for the home supply of liquefied petroleum gases. packaged oil.

In its Article 49, it also states that all consumers shall be entitled to the supply of petroleum products in the national territory, under the conditions laid down in the same Law and in their rules of development.

In addition, the Royal Decree-Law 15/1999 of 1 October, approving measures of liberalization, structural reform and increased competition in the hydrocarbon sector, contemplated specific measures for a greater liberalization and increased competition in the marketing of liquefied petroleum gases packaged, safeguarding the interests of consumers in a market of marked social character, for which in accordance with the provisions of the Transitional provision, fourth, of Law 34/1998 of 7 October of the Hydrocarbons Sector established a system of maximum selling prices to the public, before taxes, including home supply.

At the present time, given that the market for liquefied petroleum gases has a collective of consumers located in areas of difficult access and consequently with lack of energy alternatives, and the Supply in containers with a load equal to or greater than 8 kilograms and less than 20 kilograms is directed to a collective where there are consumers of marked social character, it is considered extraordinary and urgent need the updating of the the terms of the obligation to supply at the home of LPG packaging to ensure that all consumers of This type of packaging that so requests has at its disposal liquefied petroleum gases supplied in its own home.

For this purpose, it is established that at the peninsular level and in each of the island and extra-island territories, the wholesale operator of LPG with greater market share for its sales in the sector of liquefied petroleum gases packaging in containers with a load of 8 kilograms or more and less than 20 kilograms, except for mixing packages for uses of liquefied petroleum gases as propellant, shall provide the home supply to any of the within the relevant territorial scope.

This Law covers the scope of the maximum selling prices to the public of the liquefied petroleum gases packaged, which the Minister of Industry, Energy and Tourism, prior to the Agreement of the Delegation of the Government for Economic Affairs, may establish, as long as the conditions of competition and competition in this market are not considered sufficient. Such prices shall apply, where appropriate, to liquefied petroleum gases packed in containers of a load of 8 kilograms or more and less than 20 kilograms, of which more than 9 kilograms, with the exception of mixing packages for uses of liquefied petroleum gases as fuel.

In this way, the selling price of liquefied petroleum gases packaged in containers with a load equal to or greater than 8 kilograms and less than 20 kilograms, having a tare of less than 9 kilograms, is released. The aim of this liberalization is to encourage investments that result in lower energy consumption and facilitate the provision of home supplies, as well as an improvement in the service provided to the customer. It is also intended to promote the conditions of competition and competition on the market.

However, as a guarantee that all consumers will be able to dispose of liquefied petroleum gas in their own home, in packages with a load of 8 kilograms or more and less than 20 kilograms, at the maximum regulated price, the said liberalisation is carried out with the restriction that, in the event that the wholesale operator of LPG with an obligation to provide home supply does not have packages of a size greater than 9 kilograms, the obligation to supply Under the terms of this Regulation, the price of the product concerned shall be reduced to a maximum of 9%. kilograms, in the relevant territorial scope.

Law 34/1998 of 7 October of the hydrocarbon sector established the legal regime for activities related to liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons, attributing in the second article to these activities the (a) consideration of activities of general economic interest and in Article 60 thereof defines as activities regulated to regasification, transport, basic storage and distribution of gas, and the economic regime and its economic regime must be adjusted to that law. operation.

Chapter VII of Title IV of the abovementioned Law on the Hydrocarbons Sector established the basis for the economic regime of those activities which was developed by Royal Decree 949/2001 of 3 August, which regulates the Third-party access to gas installations and an integrated economic system of the natural gas sector is established.

The regulatory framework established from the aforementioned Royal Decree 949/2001 for the integrated economic system of the natural gas sector has allowed the development of the necessary infrastructures to guarantee the safety of In the period 2002-2006, a balance was reached between the costs and revenues of the gas system. However, in recent years, the economic crisis with the fall in demand for associated gas has shown that such a system is insufficient in situations of lowering or stabilizing demand.

in this period, the consumption of natural gas in Spain experienced an important growth, of up to two digits per year, reached the all-time high in 2008 with a consumption of 449 TWh. However, since 2009, there has been a significant decrease in the demand for natural gas. The levels of consumption reached in 2013 are similar to those of 2004 and lower by more than 25% to those of 2008, estimated that until after 2020 the consumption levels of 2008 will not be reached.

This situation resulted in annual imbalances between revenues and costs of the gas system, which have been tried to contain since 2008 through significant increases in access tolls, which has contributed to the the prices applicable to final consumers above the average of the European Union.

In order to correct the mismatch between revenue and costs of the gas system, caused by the fall in demand and the construction and incorporation of an important number of infrastructures that cause the growth of the costs of the gas system, in Royal Decree-Law 13/2012 of 30 March, implementing directives on the internal market in electricity and gas and in the field of electronic communications, and on which adopt measures for the correction of deviations from the mismatch between the costs and the revenue the electricity and gas sectors, a set of measures were adopted with the ultimate aim of removing these mismatches.

The measures taken in the Royal Decree-Law are set as a first step towards achieving the sufficiency of revenues to cover costs, although the rule itself recognises the need for further reform. It will allow the sector to be provided with adequate mechanisms to meet with guarantees the challenges posed by the current energy scenario for our country.

The Royal Decree-Law carried out an adaptation of the remuneration scheme for underground storage with commissioning from the year 2012, suspending the payment of provisional remuneration and determining that no the perception of more than one accrual annuity could be accumulated in the same year. It also limited the construction of new gas infrastructures to those needed to maintain the binding international commitments resulting from the construction of gas interconnections, as well as to meet new gas consumers. provided that this did not entail any costs added to the system and, in order not to endanger the technical balance of the regasification plants in operation, brought to a standstill the authorisation and putting into service of new regasification plants in peninsular territory.

However, the trend in demand has continued to be decreasing, with the decline being particularly significant during the first quarter of 2014, largely conditioned by extremely warm temperatures. during the winter months, which has meant that only in the first quarter of the year the demand has experienced a decrease of more than 11% compared to the same period of the previous year. This negative trend is maintained during the second quarter, which will result in further misalignment at the end of the financial year if emergency measures are not taken to correct the situation.

This mismatch between revenue and expenditure of the gas system can be regarded as a structural deficit and requires the updating of the regulatory framework for the remuneration of regulated activities. The National Commission of the Markets and the Competition has quantified in the provisional liquidation 14 of the financial year 2013 this mismatch in 326 million euros at the end of the year 2013, estimated that the deficit accumulated to 31 December 2014 could reach EUR 800 million as a result of the entry into service of new installations and the contraction of demand for natural gas in the first half of 2014, more pronounced than expected.

Consequently, a reform of the remuneration regime of the natural gas sector is necessary based on the principle of the economic sustainability of the gas system and the long-term economic balance, which it has in (i) consideration of the fluctuations in demand, the development of costs, improvements in efficiency, the degree of development of existing gas infrastructure without prejudice to the principle of adequate remuneration for the investments in regulated assets or security of supply.

First, the principle of economic and financial sustainability of the gas system is established, which will be a guiding principle for the actions of the Public Administrations and other subjects of the gas system. Under this Regulation, any regulatory action in relation to the sector involving a cost increase for the gas system or a reduction in revenue will have to include an equivalent reduction in other cost items or an increase revenue equivalent to ensure the balance of the system. In this way the possibility of deficit accumulation is definitely ruled out.

This principle is reinforced by the imposition of restrictions on the occurrence of annual temporary disadjustments, establishing as a correction mechanism the obligation to automatically review tolls and tolls. correspond if certain thresholds are exceeded. The thresholds introduced allow for a deviation caused by short-term circumstances or by the volatility of the gas demand, which, as such, can be reversed in the following period without the need for a modification of the tolls and charges, to the the same time as ensuring that no levels of mismatch can be reached that could put the financial stability of the system at risk.

Temporary gaps occurring from the entry into force of this Law, without exceeding the above thresholds, shall be financed by all the subject of the settlement system on the basis of the receivables which generate.

Secondly, the principle of economic and financial sustainability must be understood in such a way as to ensure that the revenue generated by the use of the facilities satisfies all the costs of the system. In the case of natural gas, regulated remuneration methodologies shall be considered as the costs necessary to carry out the activity by an efficient and well-run undertaking under the principle of carrying out the activity at the lowest cost to the natural gas sector. system.

A six-year regulatory period is set to establish the remuneration of regulated activities, giving regulatory stability to them. With the possibility of adjustments every three years of the remuneration parameters of the system, among others the unit values of reference for customers and sales, operating and maintenance costs, productivity improvement factors, etc., in case of significant changes in revenue and cost items occur.

The remuneration system for transport, regasification and storage facilities is established under homogeneous principles: adoption of the net asset value as a basis for the calculation of the remuneration for the investment, the incorporation of variable remuneration on the basis of vehicle gas, which is regasified or stored according to the type of asset and the elimination of any procedure for the automatic review of remuneration and remuneration in relation to indices of prices.

The new remuneration model, regulated by this Law, establishes a common calculation methodology for all the installations of the core network, which takes as a basis the net annual value of the assets eliminating any update of the same during the regulatory period. This remuneration is composed of a fixed term for the availability of the facility and a variable term for continuity of supply.

The fixed term of availability includes the operating and maintenance costs for each year, amortization and a financial remuneration calculated by applying to the annual net investment value and the financial remuneration to be determined for each regulatory period.

The inclusion of the term supply continuity variable in the remuneration of the facilities allows, on the one hand, to adjust the costs of the system to situations of variation of demand by balancing the differences between the the system's revenue and costs and, on the other hand, it transfers some of the risk of the change in demand, which has so far been borne by the final consumer, to the owner of the facilities.

This term is a function of the total variation of the national consumption of natural gas in the year of calculation in respect of the previous year in the case of transport facilities, of the variation of demand for regasified gas in the system plant assembly in the case of regasification facilities and the variation of the useful gas stored in the storage in the case of the latter.

Remuneration for continuity of supply shall be divided among all installations according to the weighting of their replacement value with respect to that of the set of installations of the activity, calculating those values by applying the investment unit values in force each year.

Once the regulatory lifetime of the facilities has been completed, and in cases where the asset continues in operation, the operating and maintenance costs increased by a coefficient are set as remuneration. the amount of which depends on the number of years in which the facility exceeds the regulatory life, not taking any amount of remuneration for investment.

For the remuneration of new primary pipelines that do not belong to the backbone network, the government is enabled to develop a specific methodology.

With regard to new secondary transport facilities, it is established that their remuneration will be included in the remuneration methodology of the distribution facilities, with their remuneration being associated with the client growth and new generated demand.

In relation to the distribution facilities the remuneration is maintained for each distribution company for the set of its facilities according to the customers connected to them and the volume of gas supplied. However, automatic updates are eliminated on the basis of the CPI and IPRI, and the current parametric remuneration formula is modified, distinguishing, in the category of remuneration of supplies at pressures equal to or less than 4 bar, between consumers with annual consumption of less than 50 MWh and those with higher consumption in order to ensure the sufficiency of income for the system at all levels of consumption, taking into account the toll income of each of them.

In order to incentivise the extension of networks to non-gasified areas and to adjust the remuneration to the actual cost incurred by companies, differentiated unit values are considered depending on which customers and the consumption are in municipal terms of recent gasification.

In relation to the accumulated deficit of the gas system at 31 December 2014, which is being supported by the system of liquidations, it is necessary to recognize it, although its quantification will be carried out in the final settlement for the financial year 2014. This deficit will be financed by the holders of the facilities for a period of 15 years, their annuity included as a cost of the system and an interest rate will be recognised under conditions equivalent to those of the market.

Other measures related to the natural gas sector included in this Law are the modification of Law 34/1998, of 7 October, of the hydrocarbon sector, in order to point out the separation of activities from the operators of the transport network, the procedure for the designation of transmission system operators and the functional separation of distributors belonging to vertically integrated groups with interests in the market, in relation to the correct transposition of the Directive of the Internal Market for Natural Gas.

Energy efficiency is an essential aspect of the European strategy for sustainable growth in Horizon 2020, and one of the most cost-effective ways to strengthen the security of energy supply and reduce energy efficiency. emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants. For this reason, the European Union has set itself a target for 2020 to reduce its energy consumption by 20%, an objective which, for the whole of the European Union, does not lead to being met in the absence of additional efforts.

The conclusions of the European Council of 4 February 2011 recognised that insufficient progress was being made towards the achievement of the Union's energy efficiency objective and that action was required to take advantage of the the considerable potential for energy saving in buildings, transport and production and manufacturing processes.

To this end, Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on energy efficiency (hereinafter the Directive) amending Directives 2009 /125/EC and 2010 /30/EU, and repealing Directives 2004 /8/EC and 2006 /32/EC creates a common framework for the promotion of energy efficiency within the Union and sets out concrete actions in order to realise the considerable potential for unrealised energy savings.

The Energy Efficiency Directive sets out in Article 7 the binding obligation to justify an amount of final energy savings by 2020. In compliance with this obligation, Spain has communicated to the European Commission a target of 15,320 ktep of accumulated energy savings for the period 2014 to 2020, an objective that has been increased to 15,979 ktep according to the latest revision of the methodology carried out by the European Commission.

In addition, Article 7 of the Directive determines that each Member State shall establish a system of energy efficiency obligations, under which distributors and/or energy traders shall be required to achieve in the year 2020 the objective of savings indicated, by the annual achievement from the year 2014 of a saving equivalent to 1.5 percent of its final annual sales of energy.

On the other hand, Article 20 of the Directive allows Member States to set up a National Energy Efficiency Fund, as a support for national energy efficiency initiatives, to which the companies obliged by the Article 7 may contribute annually by an amount equivalent to that of investments requiring compliance with the obligations arising from that article as a form of compliance with those obligations. With the payment of the financial equivalence to the National Energy Efficiency Fund, the obligated subjects will give their annual savings obligation completely.

Although the Directive gives the possibility that the obliged subjects may be trade or distributors of energy, given that, in Spain, the energy distributors do not carry out marketing tasks (contrary to the in other EU countries) but a regulated network management activity, has been established for energy marketers as the required subjects where the Directive requires energy savings.

The transport sector is included among the required subjects given the great weight that this sector has in the demand for final energy and the great potential of energy savings that can be reached in it. In the case of petroleum products and liquefied petroleum gases, it has also not been considered appropriate to impose obligations on the network operator, but are subject to the obligation of the companies which in fact carry out the marketing of the products for sale to final consumers and, in particular, taking into account the existing atomisation in the final marketing of these products, to the wholesale operators of petroleum products and liquefied petroleum gases.

Consequently, this Law establishes a system of obligations for the companies of gas and electricity, for the operators of petroleum products wholesale, and for the operators of liquefied petroleum gases wholesale, as from the entry into force of the same. Following the establishment of this system, an annual savings target and the quota on the same corresponding to each subject under its final sales will be defined annually by Order of the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism. for energy of year n-2, following the same criterion laid down by Directive 2012/27/EU in Article 7 for the determination of the cumulative savings objective, as well as the financial equivalence for the calculation of the amount equivalent to the of the investments necessary for the fulfilment of these obligations by means of contribution to a National Energy Efficiency Fund.

The National Energy Efficiency Fund, without legal personality, will allow the implementation of economic and financial support mechanisms, technical assistance, training and information or other measures aimed at increasing the energy efficiency in the different sectors, necessary for the achievement of the objectives set out in the Energy Efficiency Directive.

The financial equivalence of savings obligations will be determined on the basis of the average cost of such support mechanisms, incentives and measures necessary to mobilise the investments required to deliver the Annual savings target through the actions of the National Fund, according to the results of the technical analysis of the Institute for Diversification and Energy Saving.

Also, this Law enables the Government to establish and develop an energy savings accreditation system through the issuance of Energy Savings Certificates (CAE), which once in progress allow companies progressively to comply with their savings obligations through the direct promotion of energy efficiency improvement actions that meet all the necessary guarantees.

According to the energy savings calculation methodology set out in the Directive and applicable for the verification of the achievement of the objectives, the time when the savings are produced determines how much savings are made. accumulated during the period of validity of the Directive. Therefore, the same measure can compute a very different amount of accumulated savings depending on whether it is carried out at the beginning or end of the period and, therefore, the sooner the efficiency improvement actions are carried out. Energy savings, plus savings from energy savings, can be accounted for in order to achieve the cumulative energy saving target. As a result, early implementation of savings measures significantly reduces the number of measures needed to achieve the goal, and therefore the cost that is derived from its compliance.

Therefore, in order to be able to carry out energy efficiency measures at least as soon as possible, it is necessary to have sufficient economic resources in the National Efficiency Fund to enable these measures to be implemented. on a large scale, with the greatest general interest being the implementation with the greatest urgency of the system of obligations which will enable the Fund to be provided with such resources. Among the options assessed to undertake early energy saving measures on a large scale, the introduction of a system of obligations for a contribution to a National Efficiency Fund is presented as the option to provide for the the shorter possible time for the necessary resources to undertake energy efficiency measures that lead to an early accounting of savings in order to meet the objectives of the Directive in the most economically efficient way.

In line with the implementation of the energy efficiency measures by the National Efficiency Fund, the implementation of the obligations system has been foreseen in the proportion to the remaining period from the entry in force of Royal Decree-Law 8/2014 of 4 July 2014 until 31 December 2014. However, in the light of the urgency with which the obliged subjects must make their contribution equivalent to the obligation corresponding to that period, the exclusion of that obligation to small undertakings has been considered appropriate. (a) to avoid a disproportionate short-term burden associated with the urgency of the contribution in this first period of application by making use of the possibility established in the Recital 20 of Directive 2012/27/EU which allows the exclusion of the obligations to the smaller market operators.

On the other hand, Article 9 of the Directive provides that in the supply of heating, cooling or hot water to a building from a district heating or a central source supplying several buildings, will install individual consumption counters before 1 January 2017. Given that according to the Regulation of Thermal Installations in the Buildings, approved by Royal Decree 1027/2007 of 20 July, the thermal installations of the newly constructed buildings must have a system that allows the The breakdown of the costs for each service (heat, cold and hot water) between the different users, it is necessary to establish the obligation to individually account for such consumption in the existing buildings.

Also, in view of the risks involved in the execution and management of energy savings and efficiency projects, in particular in the industrial sector and in the construction sector, the subscription of insurance is considered necessary. civil liability to cover the risks arising from such actions by energy service providers and other subjects which may in the future be able to operate within the framework of the obligations system.

Finally, the sanctions regime applicable in the event of non-compliance with the provisions adopted for the transposition of Directive 2012/27/EU, in particular those adopted in the field of the system of energy efficiency obligations. In the field of energy audits, accreditation of service providers and energy auditors, promotion of energy supply efficiency and accounting for energy consumption, instruction and resolution of files Penalties to be initiated shall be the responsibility of the competent bodies of the Autonomous Communities.

The deadline for transposition of the Directive was general on 5 June 2014, and it is therefore necessary to complete the transposition of the Directive with the utmost urgency.

Law 22/1973, of July 21, of Minas establishes in its article 76 that references to the lengths established for the demarcation of the perimeters of the permits of investigation and concessions of exploitation will come referred to the meridian of Greenwich. The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) and the distribution of international zones and zones will be adopted. As a reference ellipsoid the international of Hayford (Madrid, thousand nine hundred twenty-four), European datum (Postdam, thousand nine hundred and fifty) and meridian of Greenwich will be used as the origin of lengths. This aspect was introduced by Article 11 of Law 54/1980 of 5 November, amending the Law of Mines.

Subsequently, Royal Decree 1071/2007, of 27 July, regulating the geodetic system of official reference in Spain, dictated by the provisions of article 149.1.13. of the Constitution, which it attributes to the State the competition on bases and coordination of the overall planning of economic activity, established the adoption in Spain of the global geodetic reference system, ETRS89, replacing the geodetic system of regional reference ED50 on which all official cartography is currently being compiled in the area of the Peninsula Iberian and the Balearic Islands, and the REGCAN95 system in the area of the Canary Islands, allowing a complete integration of the official Spanish cartography with navigation systems and the mapping of other European countries. In addition, and in correspondence with the above, the coordinate representation systems to be used to compile and publish the official geographic mapping and information according to their characteristics are determined.

This Royal Decree establishes that all cartography and databases of geographic and cartographic information produced or updated by the Public Administrations shall be compiled and published in accordance with the provisions of the from 1 January 2015 to the same day.

On the basis of this, the amendment of Law 22/1973 of 21 July, of Mines, is appropriate to adapt the reference system to the new requirements introduced by Royal Decree 1071/2007 of 27 July, which regulates the official reference geodetic system in Spain. In particular, Article 76.2 of Law 22/1973 of 21 July 1973 is amended and the second paragraph of Article 99.1 of the General Regulation for the Mining Regime approved by Royal Decree 2857/1978 of 25 August 1978 is repealed, since it precludes the provisions of the said Royal Decree 1071/2007 of 27 July 2007.

In addition, due to the complexity of the process of adapting Spanish mining rights to new cartographic references, a final Disposition is added to enable the Government to approve a Royal Decree to develop the application of the amendment to Article 76.2 of Law 22/1973 of 21 July, in accordance with its new wording.

The need for the amendment is due to the fact that the second transitional provision of the said Royal Decree 1071/2007 of 27 July 2007 provides that all mapping and databases of geographical and cartographic information produced or updated by the Public Administrations must be compiled and published according to what is available in that Royal Decree from January 1, 2015 and that all the cartography is being carried out with a geodetic base that will not be able to be used from that date, with which the mining sector must know as soon as the modification that is to be produced since it causes actual changes in the area awarded when mining rights are granted in respect of the area to be granted if the changes that are approved in this Law are not produced.

In analogy with the mining sector, the geodetic system of reference for application to the exploration, research and production of hydrocarbons is clarified. The regulatory development of Title II of Law 34/1998 of 7 October, of the hydrocarbon sector, which is collected temporarily in Royal Decree 2362/1976 of 30 July, approving the regulation for the implementation of the Law on Research and Exploitation of Hydrocarbons of 27 June 1974, also referred to the ellipsoid of Hayford (Madrid, thousand nine hundred and twenty-four) and the European datum (Postdam, one thousand nine hundred and fifty), applying the Universal projection Transverse to Mercator (UTM), so it is also expressly repealed. From 1 January 2015, only Royal Decree 1071/2007 of 27 July 2007 will apply, ensuring the coherence of the sectoral legislation with the specific geodesic and cartographic material.

Title IV establishes the regime for the implementation of the National Youth Guarantee System and includes other measures to promote the occupation.

The National Youth Guarantee System, which is regulated in Chapter I, has as its main purpose the collective of young people not occupied or integrated into education or training systems and who are over 16 years of age and children under 25, or under 30 years of age in the case of persons with a disability level of 33% or more, can receive an offer of employment, continuing education, apprenticeship or traineeship after the end of education or be unemployed.

It should be noted that in 2013, out of a total of 4,111,900 16-to 24-year-olds reported in Spain, 951,100 were in unemployment and 845,500 were non-employed young people who were also unemployed. receiving education or training, according to the revised EPA figures. These figures show the serious employment situation in which the youth group in Spain is located, which can result in both a strong disconnection from the labour market and social exclusion in the long term.

According to Eurostat data, in 2013 Spain had one of the rates of young people aged between 15 and 25 who neither study nor work higher in the European Union, six points above the average and only behind Bulgaria, Italy, Greece and Cyprus.

The European Council determined that Member States with access to the Youth Employment Initiative funds should submit a National Youth Guarantee Implementation Plan by the end of 2013. In response to this mandate, the Government of Spain sent to the European Commission in December 2013 the National Plan for the Implementation of the Youth Guarantee in Spain, which establishes the framework necessary for this implementation and responds to the guidelines contained in the Recommendation of the European Council of 22 April 2013 on the establishment of the Guarantee. The guidelines include attention to the gender and diversity of young people covered by the Guarantee, as well as adaptation to national, regional and local circumstances.

In the development of this System, the new financial framework 2014-2020 of the Structural and Investment Funds of the European Union has been taken into account, highlighting the making available of 1,887 million euros for Spain the co-financing of expenditure on direct care for young people who are not employed and who are not studying or training, through the Youth Employment Initiative and the European Social Fund.

Within Chapter I, section 1. establishes the basis of the National Youth Guarantee System.

Section 2, which relates to the National Youth Guarantee System, establishes the most specific aspects of the registration of the National Youth Guarantee System file, as well as the attention that will be given to the users that access the same.

The registration procedure has been established in a telematic way in the light of the results of the Youth Report in Spain 2012 carried out by the Spanish Youth Institute. This report reveals that the collective of young people over the age of 15 and under 30 are highly familiar with the use and use of the Internet and computers or similar devices.

Within the procurement support measures contained in Section 3, it is worth mentioning the establishment of a monthly allowance in the business contribution to the Social Security contribution for an amount of 300 for a maximum of six months, for the indefinite recruitment of persons receiving the National Youth Guarantee System, as well as the amendment of Law 11/2013, of 26 July, of measures to support the entrepreneur and encouraging growth and job creation, in order to include such a group of young people in certain incentives for the procurement provided for in this standard.

This measure will be compatible with other incentives provided that the monthly amount to be listed by the company or the self-employed person is not negative. This allows for compatibility with the flat rate, provided that the requirements of both incentives are met. Therefore, depending on the contribution made by the employee, it is possible that during the first six months, the company will not have a cost of listing, and even if the application of both incentives entails a surplus to the company or self-employed person who has contracted, such surplus may be excluded from the final business contribution resulting from the monthly settlement in which the worker is included, provided that the latter is not negative.

Together with the one provided for in the previous paragraph, new measures are envisaged for the promotion of the use of the training contracts provided for in Article 11 of the recast of the Law of the Workers ' Statute, when they are concluded with persons benefiting from the National Youth Guarantee System. Thus, in respect of the contract in practice, an additional bonus is established up to 100% incentive in the company's contributions to the Social Security for common contingencies, whereas in the case of the contract for the Training and learning is expected to be able to raise the maximum level of bonuses inherent in training activity through the modification of its rules. In addition, the commitment to make progress in the articulation of the mechanisms to encourage companies to carry out the training and learning contract, through the compensation of the costs inherent in the official training, is included. the derivatives of the necessary tutoring of the worker. The aim is to give a boost to the contract for training which allows for official training and work experience, making it particularly suitable for the subjects to whom the Youth Guarantee is intended.

Therefore, not only will the contribution of the contract worker be subsidised through this modality, but the training costs assumed by a company that is committed to hiring a worker will be adequately compensated. training or with little training and experience. Hence, for the case of workers enrolled in the Youth Guarantee, new incentives will be introduced.

Since the training contract already has a powerful reduction applicable to the contribution of the contract worker, these new incentives for training concepts can be applied to reduce, also, the of other workers who have contracted the company.

Chapter II amends Law 56/2003 of 16 December 2003 on Employment to adapt it to the new model of active employment policies and the Spanish Employment Strategy.

At the LV Sectoral Conference on Employment and Labour Affairs, held on 11 April 2013, the Autonomous Communities and the Ministry of Employment and Social Security agreed on the lines of action to be followed by policies. active employment in Spain from 2013 onwards, and which have already been taken into account for the preparation of the Annual Employment Policy Plans of 2013 and 2014.

The change in the model of active employment policies means transit from a model of financing and articulated management around legal instruments designed for centrally established programs, to a new model, in accordance with the powers of the Autonomous Communities, within the framework of the necessary guarantee of the Market Unit and whose financing, implementation, monitoring and evaluation are geared towards the achievement of certain objectives, Previously established priority guidelines and priorities for action.

In line with this new model, a new Spanish Employment Strategy for the 2014-2016 period is being developed in close cooperation with the Autonomous Communities and the social partners. requires the amendment of Law 56/2003, of 16 December, of Employment, basically, in three respects.

First, it is necessary to carry out the reorganization and systematization of active policy actions. Secondly, it is necessary to change the terminology of the "measures" and "actions" of active policies, distinguishing now between "services" and "programs". And, finally, it gives form and content to the Common Portfolio of Services of the National System of Employment contained in the Law, but not developed.

Chapter III amends Law 14/1994 of 1 June, which regulates temporary work companies, in order to adapt it to the principles of Law 20/2013 of 9 December, which provides for the guarantee of the market unit, which establishes as a basic principle the national effectiveness of the authorizations, therefore it is necessary to delete in the legislation that regulates the activity of the temporary enterprises all limitation in respect to the territorial scope of action or any requirement for extension of authorisations. The system of authorisation is maintained as it is justified on grounds of public policy relating to the fight against fraud, as a guarantee of the rights of workers and of the social security system. While the scheme is simplified, so once granted, the authorisation remains in place for as long as the company complies with the legal requirements, without the need for any extensions or renewals of any kind.

On the other hand, given that the temporary work companies have been revealed as a powerful dynamic agent of the labour market, the activities that they will be able to develop are expanded, adding the training activities for the professional qualification and consulting and human resources advice.

Chapter III also amends Law 56/2003, of 16 December, of Employment, to adapt the regulatory regulations of the agencies of placement to the Law 20/2013, of December 9, of guarantee of the market unit, proceeding the deletion of the prior administrative authorisation for the exercise of the activity as a placement agency by replacing it with a responsible declaration, which shall be valid throughout the national territory from the time of its submission.

Finally, other specific changes are introduced in the recast text of the Law of the Workers ' Statute, approved by the Royal Legislative Decree 1/1995 of 24 March, as in the recast text of the Law on Violations and Sanctions in the Social Order, approved by the Royal Legislative Decree 5/2000 of 4 August, which are necessary to ensure the coherence of the regulation.

Within Chapter IV, it extends to the worker or worker partners of cooperatives, as well as to those who are employed as workers ' partners of the labour companies, the reductions in business contributions For the purposes of common social security contingencies for indefinite recruitment provided for in Royal Decree-Law 3/2014 of 28 February, urgent measures for the promotion of employment and indefinite recruitment. A mandate to the Government is also included to ensure that the incentives for self-employment in the field of employment and social security are reordained.

IX

This Law incorporates measures to stimulate economic activity and to alleviate the effects of the crisis.

In relation to the Income Tax of the Physical Persons three modifications are introduced.

First, with effect from 1 January 2014 and previous non-prescribed exercises, for reasons of equity and social cohesion, the assets gain that could be evidenced as a result of the a payment or a foreclosure procedure that affects the taxpayer's habitual housing.

In addition, with effect from 1 January 2014, the compensation of negative income from the base of savings arising from subordinated debt or preference shares, or from securities received in exchange for these, is permitted. instruments, generated prior to 1 January 2015, with other positive income included in the savings base, or in the general basis from the transfer of assets.

On the other hand, in order for taxpayers with lower income to carry out professional activities to be able to have more liquidity immediately, a reduced rate of retention is established-15 percent. In the previous year, the total income derived from these activities obtained by the taxpayer would have been less than 15,000 euros, provided that these yields represent more than 75 percent of the total of their full income from economic activities and work.

In line with the approved measure for the Income Tax of the Physical Persons, it is introduced, with effect from January 1, 2014, as well as for the taxable facts prior to that date not prescribed, an exemption in The Tax on the Increase in the Value of Urban Nature Grounds for natural persons who transmit their habitual dwelling by payment or as a result of a foreclosure procedure.

In addition, the Law 16/2012 of 27 December, which adopted various tax measures aimed at the consolidation of public finances and the promotion of economic activity, is amended. Deposits in the Credit Entities.

The approval of autonomous taxes after the beginning of the legislative process of the precept by which the Tax on the Deposits in the Credit Entities was created, makes this modification necessary the purpose of ensuring a harmonised taxation of deposits made up of credit institutions throughout the Spanish territory. To this end, a levy rate of 0,03% shall be established with effect from 1 January 2014, the collection of which shall be to the Autonomous Communities where they radiate the head office or the branches of the taxpayers in which they are located. maintain the funds of third parties. In addition, technical improvements are introduced in the configuration of the tax base.

X

The additional provisions provide for a series of measures complementary to the regulation of the articles.

By Judgment 38/2014 of 11 March 2014, of the Constitutional Court, the unconstitutionality and the nullity of the Additional Disposition 15th, point (c) of the Law of 23 December, of 23 December 2014, have been declared invalid. General of the State for the year 2009, for violation of article 134.2 of the Spanish Constitution, for not constituting its own content matter of a law of budgets.

The annulled precept added a paragraph 7 (b) of the fourth transitional provision of Law 39/2007 of 19 November of the military career, establishing an equivalence of military training with the system. University education. In particular, those who, by reason of the military training they had received, had already been recognised by the previous legislation as equivalent to a first-cycle university degree, that is to say those belonging to the previous officers of the general and specialist bodies, would obtain a degree of training equal to a degree of university degree when, after overcoming the course of adaptation provided for in the said transitional provision fourth of the Law 39/2007, will be effectively incorporated into the new officer scale by this one created.

In the face of the previous situation, Law 39/2007 provides, in effect, a single scale of officers for the general corps of the Army of the Earth, the Navy and the Air Force, as well as for the Marine Corps, and changes the education system. The incorporation at the level of officers now requires that, on the one hand, the general and specific military training must have been completed and, on the other hand, a degree of university degree in the general education system, to which the University system of defense centers.

The incorporation, on a voluntary basis, of the new scale of officers of Law 39/2007 from the previous scales of officers of the general and specialist bodies, in accordance with the procedure laid down in the This transitional provision, fourth of Law 39/2007, will enable the latter to move up to jobs previously reserved for the higher level of officers, which was justified at the time when they were recognised as having an academic equivalence with the university degree.

On the other hand, the Constitutional Court's cited judgment 38/2014 specifies the specific scope to be attributed to the declaration of unconstitutionality and nullity contained in the judgment, stating that it must not affect those legal situations which, at the time of publication of the judgment, are firm and have had an effect, because they have taken place on the new scale.

At this time there are more than a hundred officers who are pending the completion of the adaptation courses which, according to the transitional provision of Law 39/2007, constitute a prerequisite for the incorporation into the new scale of officers. The declaration of unconstitutionality and consequent annulment of the legal precept that made it possible for them to obtain, at the moment of effective incorporation of this new scale, the aforementioned equivalence to the title of a higher graduate, would then put the those officers in a situation of unjustified inequality with respect to components of their same scale as if they have recognised such equivalence.

Consequently, it is necessary that in Law 39/2007 of 19 November of the military career, a new paragraph is added to paragraph 7 (b) of the fourth transitional provision, in terms practically identical to those of the of the precept annulled by the Constitutional Court. It is only necessary to introduce in that text an addition in the description of the assumption of the fact of the rule, in order to take account of the particular situation of those who have completed the course of adaptation on the dates between the Publication of the cited judgment 38/2014, of the Constitutional Court (in the BOE No. 87, of 10 April 2014), and the entry into force of this Law.

The Armed Forces require, for the fulfillment of the missions that they are constitutionally assigned, and to ensure the necessary level of operability of their units, minimum numbers, below which it would be necessary. difficult to achieve these objectives.

In order to obtain these minimum numbers with an adequate distribution over time, which will guarantee the operation of the units, an annual access to the various scales of officers and non-commissioned officers is required. determined and significantly constant.

The application reiterated in the last few years of the limitation of the rate of replacement, in the provision of places for the direct entry of officers and non-commissioned officers, has resulted in an important decrease in the access to such scales, whose accumulation in time has negative consequences for the coverage of the military personnel templates of the Armed Forces, especially in the lower jobs of each scale.

This situation is aggravated in the official scales by the complexity and duration of the training period prior to access to them, in which it is required not only to exceed the studies corresponding to their future functions as a career military, but also obtaining a degree of university degree. This complexity implies that the degree of abandonment by the applicants exceeds that which, on average, occurs in the period of study for obtaining the said degree degree in the various universities, so the number of those who, at the end of the training period, access the status of a career military officer is far less than the one who has, at the time, entered the military training centres.

With the strict application of the basic criteria established for the calculation of the replacement rate in Law 22/2013, of 23 December, of General State Budgets for the year 2014, a figure is obtained Insufficient if the objectives assigned to the Armed Forces are adequately met.

This Law includes the seats authorized to the Armed Forces by the State General Budget Law for the year 2014 in its Article 21, with the ordinary replacement rate of 10 by the way, for direct income, access to a Permanent services, volunteer reservists and access to the upper scale of Civil Guard officers, as well as the entrance for promotion and internal promotion, and also includes an additional offer of 200 places for the form of direct income at the official scales, which comes to guarantee the resources Precise human rights for the operation of the Armed Forces.

In addition, the programming, both of military education and, where appropriate, of the correlative university teaching of grade in the university centers of defense, determines that the approval of the offer of the corresponding This is a matter of urgency, since the immediate non-approval of this extraordinary offer of seats in the Armed Forces will entail the consequent delay in the development of the selective processes, as well as in the appointment as students from those who overcome the same, which would have a very negative impact on the programming prepared in order to give due respect to the requirements of the different curricula.

The celebration of " 120 years of the First Picasso Exhibition. A Coruña, February-May 2015 " was declared an event of exceptional public interest for the additional 50th-eighth provision of Law 22/2013, of 23 December, of General State Budgets for the year 2014.

The celebration commemorates the first show that the young Malagueño painter performed in A Coruña, when his family moved to live in this city.

The Inter-Administrative Commission of the event has reported that the program of support to this event has not been able to be put in place by restrictions of brand imposed by the entity "Picasso Administration", holder of the Picasso brand, so it is not possible to address the campaign of sponsorships and patronage using this brand.

"Picasso Administration" if you have expressly authorized the name and logo of "A Coruña 2015-120 years later", which can therefore be used by the sponsors of the event.

The change in the name of the event of exceptional public interest will allow the launch of its support programme, making it possible to make financial resources available from sponsorships, in order to facilitate the conclusion, pursuant to Article 27 of Law 49/2002, of 23 December, of a tax regime of non-profit entities and of tax incentives for patronage.

Since the celebration program begins in September 2014, the change of denomination is urgent, in order to be able to launch the program to support this event of exceptional public interest.

Also, through this Law, the formalization of the advances made in 2013 to pay for the contributions to the European Union for the use of Bute National Income (GNI) and pending of the apply as of 31 December 2013.

In the financial year 2013, payments made to the European Union, resulting from the approval of several amending budgets for the use of Bute National Income (GNI), have been pending for the financial year 2013. EUR 30,311,369.51.

By having these advances the consideration of obligations of previous exercises require for their formalization, in application of the provisions of Article 34 (4) of Law 47/2003, of November 26, General Budget, a rule with a range of law.

During the drafting process of the new Rail Traffic Regulation, the European Agency has expressed the need for Spain to reduce the detail of the new Regulation and to basically remain as a general framework. which does not specifically regulate aspects of the movement which had been included. To this end, it is considered necessary to issue Recommendations or Technical Specifications, which can be adopted by administrators and companies. For this reason, it is considered necessary to enable the Responsible Security Authority to issue such recommendations. To this end, it is necessary to amend Law 39/2003 of 17 November of the Railway Sector.

The Lorca earthquake that occurred on 11 May 2011 caused considerable personal and material damage and its disruptive effects were projected in all areas of activity in the municipality, constituting a drag on the recovery and development of the social and economic fabric of Lorca.

The Royal Decree-Law 11/2012, of March 30, of measures to expedite the payment of aid to those affected by the earthquake, to rebuild the demolished buildings and to promote the economic activity of Lorca, an instrument payment procedure to the beneficiaries of the aid provided for in Royal Decree-Law 6/2011 of 13 May, and in Royal Decree-Law 17/2011 of 31 October, by means of the payment by the financial institutions based in Lorca, prior to the agreement with the Institute of Official Credit.

In this way, the Official Credit Institute initially provides the financial resources needed to pay for the payment of the aid to the beneficiaries.

By this amendment of Royal Decree-Law 11/2012, the necessary legal qualification is introduced for the Institute of Official Credit to extend, with the agreement of the Government Delegation for Economic Affairs. the object of the credit including the implementation of reconstruction and extension of municipal infrastructure. This is intended to advance the modernization of infrastructures that contribute to the promotion of the economic activity of the municipality and improve communications and evacuation in emergency situations.

Law 20/2011, of July 21, of the Civil Registry, has brought about a substantial change in the organization and functioning of the Civil Registry, adopting a model that is more consistent with the values of the Constitution of 1978 and the reality of the of the Spanish company.

Under this modernizing perspective, the Law had an impact on two essential organizational aspects: on the one hand it strongly supported the use of new technologies, setting up a single database, accessible electronically and, the structure and territorial distribution of the registry offices were radically modified.

Although many of the advances and improvements introduced by the Law 20/2011 of 21 July, pending its entry into force, the dilated period of "vacatio legis" previewed in it has allowed to reveal some shortcomings that advise their partial revision, delving into those same elements that inspired and profiling some concrete aspect of it, without giving up essential principles of the Civil Registry as is the free character of the benefit of the public service of the same, both for the citizens and for the Public Administrations.

Deepening the modification of the organizational model, as well as the changes that are necessary in the competition for the conduct of the Civil Registry referred to in the next paragraph, make the extension of the period for the entry into force of the rule for the time required to ensure the proper functioning of the new system.

The competition for the conduct of the Civil Registry is attributed to the Registrars who hold the offices of the Commercial Registry, in their capacity as public officials, as clearly resulting from article 274 of the Mortgage Law; specialized officials with a proven and successful experience in people's records even when they are legal, so that those offices acquire the status of Civil and Commercial Registry Offices. This attribution is carried out in the execution of the effective dejudicialization of the Civil Registry already enshrined in the current Law, in order to achieve an increase of the organizational, management and scale economies, as well as greater efficiency and speed in the operation of the civil registration system.

Special importance also has the definition of the computer system that should support the Civil Registry and its security level. For this reason, the State of the information systems and applications that serve the Civil Registry are established and entrusted to a means of the Administration, or another administrative unit to be determined by the Ministry of Justice. as regards the preparation of the specifications and technical requirements necessary for the system to be able to meet the security requirements, as well as for the procurement of the specifications; for this procurement and for the payment of the system creates a Public Law Corporation to which the Commercial Registrars must belong whose duties are affected by the coverage of the operating costs of the offices where the public service is provided, as provided for in the third provision of Law 8/1989 of 13 April 1989 on Public Fees and Prices.

Finally, certain bonuses in the contribution to social security are provided for by the external curricular practices of university students and vocational training students, who assimilate the status of students to social security. employed persons.

Economic sustainability of the natural gas system

Article 59. Economic and financial sustainability.

1. The actions of the Public Administrations and the subjects engaged in regulated activities in the natural gas sector will be subject to the principle of economic and financial sustainability, understood as the capacity of the system to satisfy the full costs of the same, as laid down in the legislation in force.

2. The revenue of the gas system shall be intended solely for the remuneration of regulated activities for the supply of gas.

3. Companies holding assets subject to regulated remuneration to which specific rules involving higher costs are applied in some of their areas may establish conventions or other mechanisms with the following: General government to cover the cost of the accident. In no case will the cost of these rules be part of the remuneration recognised by these companies, and therefore cannot be covered by the income of the gas system.

4. The costs of the system shall be financed by the revenue of the gas system. These costs, which shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of this Law and its implementing rules, shall be as follows:

a) Remuneration for transport, regasification, basic storage and distribution activities.

b) Remuneration for the technical management of the system.

c) Rate of the National Commission for Markets and Competition and the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism.

(d) Where appropriate, the differential cost of the supply of liquefied natural gas or manufactured gas and/or propane other than natural gas in island territories that do not have connection with the pipeline or facilities network for regasification, as well as the remuneration corresponding to the tariff supply made by distributive companies, in these territories.

(e) Measures for the management of the claim, in the event that they are recognised as being regulated, in accordance with Article 84.2 of Law 34/1998 of 7 October of the hydrocarbon sector.

(f) Annuity corresponding to the temporary mismatches referred to in Article 61 of this Law, with their corresponding interests and adjustments.

g) Any other cost expressly attributed by a standard with legal status that is intended solely for the regulation of the gas system.

5. The revenue of the system shall be sufficient to satisfy all the costs of the gas system.

Any regulatory measure in relation to the gas system that would result in an increase in costs for the system or a reduction in revenue should include an equivalent reduction of other cost items or an increase in revenue. revenue equivalent that ensures the balance of the system.

6. On an annual basis, by order of the Minister of Industry, Energy and Tourism, with the agreement of the Government Delegation for Economic Affairs, and after report of the National Commission of the Markets and the Competition, a forecast will be approved the evolution of the different revenue and cost items of the gas system for the next six years.

These economic regimes will allow for appropriate remuneration to be paid to a low-risk activity.

2. The remuneration parameters for regasification, basic storage, transport and distribution activities will be fixed for six-year regulatory periods, taking into account the cyclical situation of the economy, the demand for gas, the evolution of costs, efficiency gains, adequate remuneration for these activities and the economic and financial balance of the system during the regulatory period.

However the above every three years may be adjusted, for the remainder of the regulatory period, to the remuneration parameters in the event that there are significant variations in the revenue and cost items.

During the regulatory period, neither the rate of financial remuneration nor the efficiency ratio can be modified for productivity improvements.

These services must be provided under long-term contracts and their main object will not be access to the Spanish gas system for the supply of domestic demand. This special and temporary scheme shall be effective during the term of the term of the contract in the long term.

These services, when affected by international competition, may be able to bring about conditions for access to facilities and tolls and charges for the provision of such services. between the parties involved, subject to the principles of objectivity and non-discrimination. In any event, the principle of economic and financial sustainability in the gas system must be ensured, and the revenue obtained by means of tolls and charges must be equal to or greater than the remuneration recognised by the installation. In the event of access to the Spanish gas system for the supply of domestic demand, the toll applied shall not be lower than that laid down for the remaining regasification plants of the system.

In case the delivery of such LNG logistics services is necessary for new investments, these will not be assumed by the gas system.

Article 61. Temporary mismatch between revenue and system costs.

1. Annual mismatch between revenue and costs of the gas system shall be deemed to occur if the difference between income and liquidable costs of an financial year results in a negative amount.

2. In the event that the annual mismatch exceeds 10% of the eligible income for the financial year, the following year's tolls and access charges shall be increased in order to recover the amount exceeding that limit.

In the event that the sum of the annual mismatch and the recognised annuities outstanding of amortisation exceeds 15% of the net income of the year, the tolls and charges for the following year shall be increased to the the amount exceeding that limit is recovered.

The part of the mismatch which, without exceeding the above limits, is not compensated for by the increase in tolls and charges shall be financed by the persons in the settlement system, in proportion to the remuneration corresponding to them by the activity.

These subjects will be entitled to charge the unadjusted contributions resulting from the final settlement over the following five years, with priority being paid to the rest of the system's costs in the settlements. corresponding. For this purpose, an interest rate will be recognised under conditions equivalent to those of the market to be fixed by the Minister for Industry, Energy and Tourism.

Also, if, in the monthly settlements on account of the final of each financial year, transitional deviations between revenues and costs appear, these deviations will be borne by the subject of the settlement system. in proportion to the remuneration corresponding to them in each monthly settlement.

3. If the annual mismatch between income and recognised remuneration results in a positive amount, this amount shall be allocated to the settlement of outstanding annuities corresponding to mismatches in previous years, first applying to the referred to in paragraph 2 and below those relating to the accumulated deficit of the gas system at 31 December 2014.

ANNEX VIII

Methodology for the determination of annual maximum revenue per passenger (IMAP) in the Five-year Airport Regulation Document (DORA)

1. The annual income per passenger that Aena S.A. will be able to obtain for the public assets will be limited during each of the five years collected in the DORA. This limit, referred to as the maximum annual per passenger income (IMAP), shall be determined for the year t by applying a percentage of variation to the IMAP of the previous year (t-1), according to the following formula:

Imagen: img/disp/2014/252/10517_001.png

That percentage of variation will be composed of two components:

• The P component is a price update index whose objective is to recognise the impact that, on the operator's cost base, would have the annual price variations of inputs out of the operator control, but which affect their business, in accordance with the principles of economic efficiency and good business management.

The value of P, which may be positive or negative, is not specified in the DRA since its amount is determined annually during the process of setting the rates for the following year.

However, the mechanism of calculation of the P index will be determined regulatively and will be incorporated into the DORA. In any event, it shall be subject to the arrangements which, in accordance with the law in force, are applicable to revisions of monetary values in which the public sector is involved. This index may not be referenced to any type of general price index or formula that contains it.

• Component X, will collect all those increases or decreases in the operator's cost base due to specific factors linked to the operator's activity, which the operator can anticipate at the time of production. DORA and conveniently recognized by the regulator.

The value X, which may be positive or negative, shall be of equal value for each of the five years of the five-year period and, unlike the P index, shall be fixed in the DORA.

2. This limit shall be defined as a single maximum value for the entire network, of the average annual revenue per passenger, obtained as consideration for the basic airport services (in accordance with Article 4 of the Directive). 2009 /12/EC).

3. The IMAP estimation methodology is based on the recovery of the expected costs and recognised by the regulator according to the criteria and principles of efficiency outlined in the following paragraph. Given that the recovery is based on a prospective basis, the actual deviations in traffic or costs, in respect of the estimated values at the time of the approval of the DORA, cannot be transferred to the airport charges, assuming the operator.

The IMAP definition methodology does not require that the income derived from public property benefits of every year t of the five-year period recover exactly the required regulated revenues of the year t. In reality, the cost recovery requirement applies to the whole of the five-year period, so that the income derived from the public benefits of the whole five-year period will allow the recovery of the required revenues from the Five-year set, appropriately recognised by the regulator.

4. The DORA should only recognise those costs that are efficient, transparent, non-discriminatory and objective. In particular, only the costs deemed to be efficient compatible with the existing legislation that is applicable may be recognised. To this end, without prejudice to the principles and criteria laid down in that legislation, the operational costs as a whole shall be considered efficient, without including amortisation or cost of capital, per unit of traffic (ATU-Air Traffic Unit) less than the average of the top 5 most efficient European airport managers comparable, not including Aena S.A. The latest published audited financial information, as well as the official forecasts, will be used for this purpose. available.

Being the traffic unit (ATU) = passengers + (10 x load tons) + (100 x operations).

5. The expected cost recovery is articulated through the definition of the required regulated income (IRR) of the five-year period. These have, on the one hand, an annual component, IRRt that will be determined as the sum of the expected values for the year t of the following elements of the network of Aena S.A.

IRRt:

• Operating expenses, and

• cost of capital,

IRRt = operating expensest + capital costt

On the other hand, the IRR incorporates a five-year component, IRRa, which collects the compensation for the lower volume of investments actually made with respect to those referred to in the previous DORA.

The calculation of both IRR components will be performed in real terms, that is, without price effect, without considering any updates associated with the price variations of inputs outside of the operator control.

The value of the items constituting the required regulated income (IRR) for the five-year period shall be based on the proposal of the operator referred to in Article 24 and as part of the elaboration of the ORD these costs shall be recognised or modified as a result of the application of the criteria for efficiency, transparency, non-discrimination and objectivity.

6. The determination of the value of the parameter X, which shall be equal for the five years of the five-year period, shall be carried out on the basis of the following equality:

Imagen: img/disp/2014/252/10517_002.png

Where:

• IMAP0: Annual maximum revenue for the last year of the preceding DORA.

• t: takes the values from years 1 to 5 of five years.

• Qt: is the number of passengers expected for the year t.

• IRRt: is the specific required regulated income of the year t.

• IRRa: compensation for lower investment made in the previous five years, conveniently capitalized.

• CMPCAI: is the weighted average cost of capital before tax for the five-year period, as defined in point 6.b) of this Annex.

Thus, the values of X must be such that the sum of the updated value of the expected revenue for each year of the five-year period is equal to the sum of the updated value of the required regulated income of the annual component of the five years (IRRt), both discounted at a rate equal to the weighted average cost of capital before taxes of Aena S.A. established in the DORA, taking into account the lower investment compensation made in the previous five years (IRRa). All calculated without price effect, i.e. in real or constant terms.

The definition of each of the items that make up the required regulated revenue (IRR) is as follows:

i) Annual IRR Component (IRRt):

(a) Operating expenses: corresponds to the sum of the amounts expected and approved in the Airport Regulation Document (DORA) of the following headings for the five-year period:

• Aprovisionations.

• Personnel Expenses.

• Other operating expenses.

• Amortization of assets contained in the Regulated Asset Base, BAR.

• Deterioration and result by enajenations of the BAR.

• Cost of the fees that Aena S.A. is obliged to pay to the State Aviation Safety Agency, the National Commission of the Markets and the Competition and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation for the activities foreseen in the Title II, Chapter I, of this Law.

b) Capital cost: corresponds to the amount resulting from applying the weighted average cost of capital before tax (CMPCAI, hereinafter), to the average value of the BAR, defined for each of the years of the five years. For the determination of the cost of capital, the CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) model will be used. The definition of the variables required for their calculation as well as their values will be determined in the DORA, taking into account that the CMPCAI will be the same for all years of the five-year period.

The BAR in the year t is the value of the Net Assets in the year t, which are defined as the sum of the net non-financial fixed assets associated with the basic airport concepts or services paid for by the public services property.

In the calculation of the CMPCAI the capital structure that the Airport Regulation Document (DORA) will consider for the period, as well as the cost of the remuneration of the own and other funds, will be considered.

The operating expenses and capital costs to be incorporated into the IRR shall be those recognised as efficient, transparent, non-discriminatory and objective, as provided for in this Act.

ii) Five-year IRR component (IRRto):

Compensation for the lower volume of investments actually made with respect to those referred to in the previous DORA. This adjustment shall include deviations from the required regulated income of the previous five years in the light of the differences between the values of the investments approved in the DORA and the actual audited values of the investments executed, duly capitalised to the weighted average cost of capital before taxes of Aena S.A. collected in the Airport Regulation Document (DORA). In the case of an extension of the DORA, the calculation of deviations shall be extended to the year of the possible extension.

The IRR componenta will not pick up deviations from a higher volume of investment made over the one contemplated in the DORA.

7. The efficiencies or inefficiencies in the management of the approved operating expense securities included in the DORA for a five-year period shall not result in a revision or update of the regulated required revenues.

Variations in the number of passengers in relation to the planned values of a five-year period and established in the DORA shall be at the risk of Aena, unless exceptional situations occur in the terms that it defines the DORA.

Variations with respect to the forecast of financial variables that form the basis of the calculation of capital costs of a five-year period (market premium, fixed income value, etc.), will not suffer adjustment in the calculation of income required for the five-year period.

ANNEX IX

Annual Maximum Income per Adjusted Passenger (IMAAJ)

1. Formula for maximum annual adjusted passenger income (IMAAJ).

The formula for the annual maximum income per adjusted passenger (IMAAJ) is as follows:

Imagen: img/disp/2014/252/10517_003.png

Where:

• IMAAJt: is the maximum annual adjusted passenger income (IMAJ) of year t.

• IMAPt: is the maximum annual per passenger income of the year t.

• Bt: is the incentive/penalty that is applied in the year t for compliance with the quality levels of the service in the t-2.

• Rlt: is the delay penalty for certain investment projects in the year t (with t-2 data).

• Qt: are the expected passengers in the year t.

• Kt: is the compliance factor at 100% of the maximum revenue per passenger in the year t.

• Dt: are the deviations of investments and operating expenses approved in the exercise of the monitoring powers provided for in Article 31 of this Law.

2. 100% compliance factor of the annual maximum income per adjusted passenger (IMAAJ).

This correction aims to eliminate the difference that can be made between the expected annual revenue by applying the annual maximum adjusted passenger income (IMAJ) of the year and the income actually earned, by isolating the deviations in traffic level, measured by the number of passengers, given that the risk of traffic should be absorbed by the operator.

This difference occurs due to the difficulty of moving the aggregate value of the maximum allowable average income (adjusted annual maximum per passenger income (IMAJ) to unit rate values for each of the services and expected traffic types for each airport. In such a way that a proposal of unit rates values that, ex ante, meets the maximum annual income per adjusted passenger (IMAAJ), could not be fulfilled ex post if the composition of the traffic varies from the moment in which the rates were established at the time they are applied. And this is regardless of whether the total passenger volume forecasts for the network as a whole are met.

Additionally, this compliance factor of 100% of the maximum annual revenue per adjusted passenger, IMAAJ, collects the difference that could arise if, of the agreements between the users and Aena S.A., the increases of the amounts The unit approved for the financial year does not apply from 1 January of each financial year but is delayed by its application for recovery beyond that date. If this occurred, the expected annual revenue by applying the annual maximum adjusted passenger income (IMAJ) of the year and the revenue actually earned would be different.

To eliminate such a difference, which can be positive or negative, depending on whether the operator has charged more or less the maximum average income allowed, isolating the effect of traffic variation, the income must be compared effective or actual passenger obtained during the exercise (unit incomet-2 in the following formula) with the maximum average income allowed (IMAAJt-2 in the formula). Since the correction is applied to the actual traffic of the t-period, which affects both the two previous unit revenues, the correction does not compensate the operator for the difference between actual and planned traffic of the year t.

This correction will be reflected by the following formula:

Imagen: img/disp/2014/252/10517_004.png

Where:

• Qt-2: Total actual passengers of year t-2.

• Qt: are the estimated passengers of the year t.

• Unit income t-2: the actual revenue divided by the year t-2 traffic (that is, this value would be the actual IMAAJ actually recorded in the year t-2).

• IMAAJ t-2: is the adjusted annual maximum passenger income of year t-2.

• It-1 /100: is the interest rate for the year t-i equivalent to the weighted average cost of capital before taxes of Aena S.A. collected in the DORA.

ANNEX X

Distribution Activity Pay Calculation Methodology

1. The remuneration corresponding to the distribution activity for the year n (RDn) shall be established for the set of the facilities of each distribution company, excluding the affected ones, according to the formula:

RDn= RD n-1+ RNn

Imagen: img/disp/2014/252/10517_013.png: Variation of the volume of gas supplied at pressure equal to or less than 4 bar to consumers with annual consumption exceeding 50 MWh, expressed in MWh, calculated as the demand difference expected in the year "n" and the estimate available for the year "n-1" for this type of consumer.

• Fv> 4b: Unit retribution for pressure supplies between 4 and 60 bar, expressed in E/MWh.

Imagen: img/disp/2014/252/10517_014.png: Variation of the volume of gas supplied under pressure between 4 and 60 bar, expressed in MWh, calculated as the difference of expected demand in year "n" and the available estimate for the year "n-1" for this type of consumer.

For the purpose of applying this formula the gas supplied and the clients of the 3.5 group will receive the same treatment as if they were supplied under pressure between 4 and 60 bar.

2. The term "municipal" of recent gasification means the one in which the first gas service was produced less than five years before the year of calculation of the remuneration.

For the market captured in municipal terms of recent gasification, a unit fee shall be established per customer connected to pressure equal to or less than 4 incentive bar.

This incentive payment shall apply only to those non-gasified municipal terms in which the entry-in-service act is after 1 January 2014.

3. Unit remuneration shall be determined in accordance with the rules laid down in Article 60.2 of this Law at the beginning of each regulatory period, in the light of developments in demand, improvements in productivity and trends in economic.

4. The remuneration of the distribution activity of each year shall be reviewed when the definitive value is available or more precise figures of demand and customers are known.

5. On the order of the Minister of Industry, Energy and Tourism, prior to the report of the National Commission of Markets and Competition, it will be established before 1 January of each year the remuneration that it is appropriate to perceive to each distribution company as set out in the preceding paragraphs.

Imagen: img/disp/2014/252/10517_043.png

Where:

Imagen: img/disp/2014/252/10517_044.png: Fixed operating and maintenance costs for each item of immobilized "i", in the year "n", expressed in euro.

Imagen: img/disp/2014/252/10517_045.png: Variable operating and maintenance costs for each item of immobilized i, in year n, expressed in euro.

For the calculation of the operating and maintenance costs for each item of the fixed asset "i", for the year "n" the unit costs of operation and maintenance reference in force in the year "n" shall be applied, with independence from the start date of the item of fixed assets.

The operating and maintenance costs of the basic buffers will be calculated according to the following formula:

Imagen: img/disp/2014/252/10517_046.png

Imagen: img/disp/2014/252/10517_047.png: Operating costs and indirect maintenance of each item of immobilized "i", in the year "n", expressed in euro.

Imagen: img/disp/2014/252/10517_048.png: Direct operation and maintenance costs for each item of fixed assets "i", in the year "n", expressed in euro.

3. Annual remuneration for continuity of supply.

Annual fee for supply continuity Imagen: img/disp/2014/252/10517_049.png, recognized to the holder of the immobilized item "i" of the activity "A" in year "n" will be as follows:

Imagen: img/disp/2014/252/10517_050.png

Where:

Imagen: img/disp/2014/252/10517_051.png: Annual compensation for the continuity of supply of the "A" activity in the year "n-1" obtained as the sum of the annual remuneration for the continuity of supply of all assets considered that year of such activity.

Imagen: img/disp/2014/252/10517_052.png

Being m the total number of "i" elements in the year "n-1".

Imagen: img/disp/2014/252/10517_053.png: Coefficient delivery of pay for continuity of supply for year "n" among all elements immobilized "i" of the activity "A" considered according to the following formula:

Imagen: img/disp/2014/252/10517_054.png

Where Imagen: img/disp/2014/252/10517_055.png is the reorder value of the "i" quiesced item, either final or provisional in the year "n-1".

The replacement value will be obtained by applying to the technical parameters of the installation the investment unit values in force. For the purposes of this calculation, no pressure correction factor shall be considered.

fA: Efficiency efficiency ratio of "A" activity. It will take a value of between 0.95 minimum and maximum 1.

For the first regulatory period it is set at 0.97 for transport, regasification and basic storage activities.

• ΔDA: Variation of demand considered for the remuneration of the continuity of supply at the premises of the activity "A", between the year "n" and the year "n-1", expressed as per one, according to the following criteria:

• In facilities of the transport pipeline network, the variation of the national total gas demand shall be considered excluding the supply through satellite plants.

• In regasification plants the variation of total gas demand emitted by the set of the gasification plants of the gas system shall be considered.

• In storage it is considered the variation of the stored useful gas at November 1 of the corresponding year, including the mechanically removable mattress gas part.

4. For the calculation of the variation in demand used in the payment of the continuity of supply at the premises of the 'A' activity, between 'n' and 'n-1', the following maximum and minimum demand thresholds are set be considered in each activity so that if the actual demand is greater than or less than these values are considered to be:

• In facilities of the pipeline network the maximum national total gas demand value excluding supply through satellite plants that can be considered are 410 TWh and the minimum value 190 TWh.

• In regasification plants the maximum gas value emitted by the set of gasification system regasification plants that can be considered are 220 TWh and the minimum value 50 TWh.

• In underground storage the maximum value gas stored, at 1 November of the corresponding year, including the mechanically removable mattress gas part that can be considered are 30 TWh and the minimum value 22 TWh.

5. The remuneration model set out in this Annex shall not apply to the underground storage referred to in Royal Decree 855/2008 of 16 May 2008.

6. For the calculation of the remuneration for continuity of supply for the second period of the year 2014 for transport, regasification and basic storage activities, obtained by applying the methodology set out in This Annex shall be taken, in annual computation, as the payment for the continuity of supply for 2014 RCS A n the following values:

-In the case of installations of the pipeline network: 233.164,337 €.

-In the case of regasification plant installations: € 48,211,976.

-For basic network storage facilities: € 6,457,394.

The remuneration of the year 2014 thus calculated will be added the deviations incurred in the remuneration of previous years as a result of the reviews of the figures of customers and sales.

For the calculation of the remuneration for the year 2015, it shall be taken as remuneration for the RCS to which it results in annual terms of the application of the methodology set out in this Annex, calculated in accordance with the provisions of the previous paragraphs.
