Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The law transfers to the Autonomous Community of Galicia the power to legislate and execute rules on the regulation of credit, banking and insurance.
  2. Galicia must exercise this power in line with the general regulation of economic activity and with what the State provides under its own powers.
  3. Controls are set: Galicia must give the State requested information, keep services at least as effective as at the time of transfer, and if it fails to comply, the Government may suspend the transferred powers, with the Cortes Generales deciding whether to lift the suspension or revoke the power. These controls will stop applying once the power is added to the Statute of Autonomy.
  4. If services must be transferred, Joint Commissions will determine the material, personal and financial resources needed, based on the real cost of the service.

Who it affects

  • The Autonomous Community of Galicia: Gains the power to legislate and execute rules on credit, banking and insurance, subject to the established controls.
  • The Spanish Government: Can formally require Galicia to comply and suspend the transferred powers if it does not.
  • The Cortes Generales (Spanish Parliament): Decide whether to lift the suspension or revoke the exercise of the transferred power.
  • The Joint Commissions (Comisiones Mixtas): Specify the resources and functions of the services being transferred.

Where does all this come from?

  • The data comes from the open files of the Congreso, the Senate and the BOE, unaltered.
  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We only say “passed” or “rejected” when the majority needed is certain; otherwise we say which side had more votes.
