Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The law approves the methodology for calculating the Basque Country's quota (Cupo The payment the Basque Country makes to the State to contribute to general State burdens, such as defense or foreign affairs.) for the 2007-2011 five-year period, as provided in the Statute of Autonomy and the Economic Agreement.
  2. The base year quota is calculated by applying an imputation index to the total State burdens not assumed by the Autonomous Community, and then subtracting adjustments and compensations.
  3. The imputation index for the whole five-year period is 6.24 percent, set mainly according to the income of the Historic Territories in relation to the State.
  4. The quotas for years after the base year are provisionally calculated by applying an updating index, based on the forecast of revenue from agreed taxes in the State Revenue Budget. If the Basque Country assumes or stops exercising powers, the quota is revised.
  5. Provisional quotas are definitively settled in May of the following year using actual revenue data, and payment is made in three equal installments: May, September and December.
  6. The base year 2007 quota is approved: 1,648,169.09 thousand euros as net quota and 1,565,237.53 thousand euros as the final amount to pay. The law takes effect the day after publication, with retroactive effect from January 1, 2007.

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.
