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.

González also referred to the situation in Aiaraldea , where he recalled the business and employment losses of recent years and advocated a social pact to contain investments. He announced that the Council and the Basque Government are working on "a serious project" for the Laguardiafacilities, although he acknowledged that it will be "complex and long".

On the other hand, inview of the ERE announced in Maderas de Llodio, it has promised to promote the necessary instruments to ensure the continuity of the company.

The MP says more industrial land and talent are needed in Álava. He recalls the expansion of Arasur and advances that the Council, together with other partners, will present itself to the tender that Adifwill convene to manage the Jundiz intermodal.

Withregard to Foronda Airport, it highlights the importance of flights to Madrid and Barcelona, as well as the increase in tourism, which accounts for almost 6% of Álava's GDP.

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."
