When an agreement could not be reached between the number obtained by the INE and the one provided by the Councils, the Council of Emulation has reported the discrepancies with the population figure approved by the Municipalities, in accordance with Articles 82.1 and 85.a) of the said Regulation.

In accordance with the provisions of Articles 82.2 and 85.b of the Population and Territorial Demarcation Regulation of Local Entities, approved by Royal Decree 1690/1986 of 11 July, the President of the National Institute of Statistics, with the favorable report of the Council of Empadrönación, has elevated the government the proposal of official population figures of the Spanish municipalities referred to January 1, 2016, for approval by royal decree, that will be published in the "Official State Gazette".
