The 6 most peculiar transfers from the State to the Generalitat

In 1932, the Republican Generalitat converted a shelter raised on the top of the mountain (1,712 meters) in a meteorological observatory, first. During the civil war, the rebel troops took over the facility that became part of the National Meteorological Service of the time. That is to say, what is now transferred, on the second attempt, It is war booty. In a bilateral commission 13 years ago, the assignment was already agreed upon by the Ministry of Defense, on whom it depended, but as the State had not registered the installation in the property registration The transfer cannot be carried out.

The Arnui farm is a forest land owned by the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation (CHE) since expropriated in 1928 to its owners, the company Papelera Ibérica. At 2003 the Parlament urged the Government to reclaim the land so that it would be ceded to the Llavorsí City Council and the forestry area of ​​public utility would be declared. A year later, the Ministry of the Environment of the The first tripartite made the request that was rejected.

The rustic property ‘El Vilar’, in Basella (Alt Urgell) is also owned by the CHE. It is an area that borders on land owned by the Generalitat and on which fire prevention work has been carried out. Its situation and the existence of camps, according to Executiu sources, would allow to extend the trials with truffle plantations carried out by the Department of Climate Action.

It is a building located in the Plaza de Ducs de Medinaceli, a stone’s throw from the Rambla, and which, at some point, almost all Barcelonans have passed through. and in many ages they have sshocked at his sorry statemore typical of a underdeveloped country. It is the only building with services linked to the judicial districts that the Generalitat has not yet managed and that was not included in the transfer of assets in 1990, nor in successive ones. The reason was none other than the same building it housed the National Institute of Toxicology and Forensic Sciences. However, at the eighth meeting of the bilateral commission it was agreed to open the transfer of the building to the Generalitat. That was in July 2011.

In 2014, both administrations signed an agreement whereby a company from the Department of agriculture should build eight sewage treatment plants little size and the Generalitat was in charge of its operation, under payment of an annual fee to the State. These WWTPs (Wastewater Treatment Plants) are located in Alguaire and Alcoletge (Segrià), Horta de San Joan (Terra Alta), Ulldemolins (Priorat), Termens-Menarguens (La Noguera), Sant Jaume d’Enveja (Montsià) and Bellver de Cerdanya (La Cerdanya).

The estate ‘Montsia’ on Ulldecona It was part of a four-piece package and was the only one that has not been transferred to date, despite having closed an agreement for it in 2010. At the last minute the General Directorate of Autonomous Development of the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Public Administration reported that the transfer was non-viable given its status as a heritage asset. 12 years later, these 123 hectares will be transferred to the Generalitat immersed in the natural area of ​​the Montsià mountain range.
