Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill would create a special salary supplement for judges and magistrates serving in Catalonia, due to disturbances that make their work harder there. The amount would be the same that judges serving in the Basque Country and Navarre already receive, with no retroactive effect, and it would be updated each year under Law 15/2003.
  2. It would also establish the same special supplement for members of the prosecutorial career serving in Catalonia, in the same amount received by prosecutors in the Basque Country and Navarre, with no retroactive effect and with annual updates.
  3. The Government would have to review each year, with a prior report from the General Council of the Judiciary, whether to keep, raise, or withdraw these measures, and send its report to the Congress of Deputies within fifteen days.
  4. The bill justifies the measure by the departure of judges and magistrates from Catalonia: 21 transferred out in 2017 and about 48 in 2018, according to the report of the High Court of Justice of Catalonia.

Who it affects

  • Judges and magistrates serving in Catalonia: They would receive a special monthly pay supplement of €498.70 (a 2007 figure, subject to updates).
  • Prosecutors serving in Catalonia: They would receive the same special supplement of €498.70 per month (a 2007 figure, subject to updates).
  • The Government: It would have to review the measures yearly and could change them by royal decree.

  • We only say “passed” or “rejected” when the majority needed is certain; otherwise we say which side had more votes.
