Transitional provisions and application notes

  • The EUR 25 million Foundation contribution was fixed for 2006; it is not a permanent annual allocation.

    Transitional provision sole
  • Royal Decree 860/2018 repealed Articles 1(1)(a), 2 and 3 from 19 July 2018. Current mutual-association prevention activities require that decree and the relevant annual planning.

    Article 1
  • Order TES/774/2023 repealed the whole of Chapter IV, Articles 8–10, from 12 July 2023. The 2009 and 2018 amendments to that chapter are historical, not its current regime.

    Article 8
  • It expressly repealed the Order of 22 April 1997; this relationship also affects historical interpretation of the 2004 costs Resolution.

    Repealing provision sole
  • Constitutional Court judgment 7/2016 declared that section nine of the 2013 plan infringed Catalonia’s powers. The ruling was declaratory because the plan had exhausted its effects; it did not annul this entire order or every subsequent plan.
