The Basque Government declares responsibility for outstanding transfers
"We think it is better to wait for these transfers to materialize as we decided and as we wish," said Ibone Bengoetxea, First Vice-President and Counsellor for Culture and Linguistic Policy.
The First Vice-President and Counsellor for Culture and Linguistic Policy Ibone Bengoetxea has assured that the Basque Government has acted "responsibly" waiting for the transfers agreed with the Spanish Government to "materialize" as agreed in the agreement, and has reiterated that the "minimum technical, economic and legal requirements" agreed at the bilateral meeting in July are currently not met.
Bengoetxeahas made these statements to the media before the start of the "Renaissance" event organized by the Basque Culture Council, in which the Councillor spoke about the decision to postpone the Joint Competition Commission scheduled for next Monday to 16 January.
Last Friday the Basque Government stated that 'at the moment the conditions for the transfer of these five powers are not in place', provided that the committee scheduled for Monday is to be held under the appropriate conditions and with all the guarantees.
"It is better to wait for the transfer to take place as we agreed and as we wish," he added.
