Vote: 122 votes (PP), 129 votes against (All other groups except 8 abstentions SIC).
Mr. PRESIDENT: Thank you, Your Honor. We
then the amendment 3 458, section 20.
call on Senator Palacios. Mr. PALACIOS
Zuasti: Thank you.
Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, Senators, good afternoon. I think we can all agree that the first and the English main problem is economic, is the crisis that grips us. Budgets in general and of this section 20 in particular, those relating to industry, commerce and tourism, have to be the instrument to resolve or at least to alleviate the crisis. Those of this section must be some assumptions that help to enable the economy to sustained growth, in order to create jobs and to structure the territory.
Our group has vetoed these budgets because they are in the opposite direction and do not solve problems but, conversely, the worse. Specifically, the budget investment industry fell by 20%. All programs of Chapter VI, but two down. Capital transfers fell by 6%, interest expense and non-financial grow or disappear or are reduced substantially. They are assumptions that run counter to what must be the support for small and medium enterprises in particular and the English industry in general.
On trade, not this satisfies what they need to be targeted by these assumptions. The program on trade promotion and internationalization of the company, which must serve to make the external sector a driving force of our recovery, falling about 27%, the program for the promotion and attraction of foreign direct investment to our country falls 20%, the contribution to the chambers of commerce abroad falls by 50%, the fund for foreign investment from 55 to just 1 million euros and the budgets of ICEX falls nearly 22%.
In relation to tourism, are budgets in which there are more taxes and less investment. Unlike what happens in the countries of our knowledge, this raises the tax an average of 1 418 euros per family, so that citizens and families will have less disposable income and will be able to move less and less tourism . Thus, the tourism sector will not be able to capture all the unemployed workers in construction, where already is a sector which has 100 000 more unemployed.
In relation to energy, they are not credible budgets. Do not bet on reducing our dependence on foreign or for renewable energy, by contrast, are budgets that are committed to clean technology in power generation such as the coal.
For these reasons and fillies have vetoed this budget. We understand that it takes must be a budget that is clearly committed to industry, an industry that is productive and competitive and industry that have a greater presence in world trade budgets contribute to creating opportunities for those want to develop business and can not do it; budgets to open our economy to the world.
We vetoed these budgets because of the shift away productive and the knowledge economy, which we have to build and speaks to the Government and the Minister of Industry, because they will not produce the results demand that the English economy, will not alleviate the crisis and will not accelerate employment and have vetoed because they're budget continues and will do, when the rest of the continent's major economies are beginning to recover, that ours, English plunged into crisis following and forecast negative growth for the year 2010 we will begin. For all that is why we have banned clear support and ask your Lordships, because we believe it is the least we can do.
Finally, make a request, and would be at least in this Senate meet this commitment by the Minister of Industry and temperature not exceeding 23 degrees from the speaker. Therefore, we ask that you set the thermostat because it is very hot. Thank
. (Applause on the benches of the PP parliamentary group in the Senate.)
the Vice President (Molas i Batllori): Thank you, Your Honor.
For the Socialist Party, I call Senator Lavilla.
Mr. LAVILLE MARTINEZ: Thank you, Mr. President.
Senator Palacios, the first thing I have to say, and I remembered many times in many discussions is that we are facing a global crisis in Spain and has an aggravating factor, the construction sector. Let us assume that in the construction sector, governing eight communities you autonomous and having raised the price of housing between 1996 and 2003 by 240%, responsibility you have, had and have now. (Applause on the benches of the Socialist Group.) And you yesterday when I came the representatives of the regions to the Senate, they acted more with the primer of the party try to resolve the problems of the English. (Protests in the seats of the Popular Parliamentary Group in the Senado.-Applause on the benches of the Socialist Group.)
In this global crisis that affects us is to try to score, help, help, get involved to end the crisis. You did not yesterday. We must not take advantage of it. Therefore, the initiative of the Government of Spain to implement further measures against the crisis will mean to those who want to collaborate with her. We want you to be in it.
Consistent with developed countries, the axes that have been launched in Spain are more public investment, social benefits for those who have difficulties, enhancing competitiveness, modernization of enterprises, more R & D and training qualification of workers, because the output is not precarious employment and wages cheaper, but such employment qualify for our workers to compete more in business.
As for the debt you have mentioned, we have to say that only one in five euros for the Government of Spain. The rest will also generate autonomous regions and municipalities.
Senator Palacios, entering in the budget I have to tell good news. We had a debate in committee and I told him reindustrialization aid were positive for solid projects supported entrepreneurs who wanted to invest now. The projects submitted in 2009, confirmed officially by the Ministry of Industry and its director general, Jesus Candil, are 2200. In the year 2008 were 1600. Therefore, it is good news for Spain that our employers are already investing to exit of the crisis. This will involve an investment of 5500 million euros, representing an important potential investor. We have to keep building confidence to continue to support these entrepreneurs who want to invest in Spain.
For the program on the promotion of competitiveness, it is estimated to be present over a thousand projects, and you have an alternative, because one thing to talk about the theory and the other is the reality, for the budget, via amendment, which is reflected in 691 million euros, ie a small difference between the alternative and raising the socialist government. If you dissect the amendments, do you have in the bulletins, which have been presented to find that great alternative of which you spoke to me, see under six conference centers, one at each site, and you know that in many cases the initiative lies with the regions, eight travel plans, when valued by law can not pass a pre-tourism plan if that is the regional competition, not processed from the autonomous region. Therefore, why from the Government mark this, this and this tourism plan? We will have to respect the powers of the autonomous communities, but you have already scored eight tourism plans. You
pose-what we think is good, but resources are limited, more aid for industrial redevelopment, precisely one of the axes that you criticized me at the last session of the Committee on Industry. I told him credit for supporting companies that are solid projects to implement in our country were a good alternative because we paid money and interest was returned to zero in almost fifteen years when the company was already afloat. That would be a joint return to continue to generate employment.
Therefore, we must say that budgets are adjusted to fit the current circumstances in the international arena with the big lines are marked.
We should also bear in mind, and with this I finish, two positive news. Senator Palacios, improved export performance in all sectors for the first time since 2007, and the competitiveness of Spain also. In the fourth quarter, something that had not happened since 2007, has improved, and company expectations are that 77.9 percent of companies believe that their export forecasts remain stable or improve, and only 21 percent believe they will get worse.
And in terms of tourism, only one figure: 137 million euros invested you when they ruled in Spain and is now investing 779. The World Tourism Organization has congratulated Spain for this.
therefore budgets are going in the right direction to overcome the crisis and what to do, Senator Palacios, build confidence ...
Mr. PRESIDENT: My Lord, will end.
Mr. LAVILLE MARTÍNEZ :..., and confidence is generated, above all, engaging to overcome the crisis and not taking advantage of it. Thank
. (Applause.)
