The Alavesa Council will study tax incentives for the biosciences sector
The Provincial Council of Álava will initiate a process of introducing tax incentives in the biosciences sector, similar to the existing measures for the audiovisual industry, including deductions on production costs.
The MP, Ramiro Gonzalez, has announced the measure in the second General Policy Debate of this legislature. He begins his speech by denouncing Israel's "genocide" in Gaza and calls on the international community to act "with unity and firmness" to stop this barbarism.
Gonzalez has highlighted the growthof the biosciences sector in Álava and highlighted its "ability to generate wealth and employment." He has explained that the process of defining new tax incentives will begin, although he has recalled that this will require the approval of the European Union and the support of the General Meetings: "It will take time and dialogue, but it will be a major leap."
This proposal is similar to the current tax incentives for the audiovisual industry, which include deductions relating to the production, reproduction, advertising and promotion of films and apply to the performing arts, music and book editing.

Onthe High Speed Train, he has called for the work to be speeded up and defended underground access to Vitoria-Gasteiz. He has also reaffirmed his commitment to connecting Pamplona directly with the Alavese capitals instead of Ezkio: "This is the best option for the country."
