"Madam President, one of the issues which has come before the Committee on Petitions – and an issue which affects us all in this Chamber because a number of acquisitions are affected – concerns those who have sought to buy properties – particularly those who have sought to buy in Spain and who have been affected by the Spanish coastal laws.
This actually goes back to an earlier debate today: the discussion on the application of EU law. Because one of the things my constituents say to me is: Hold on a minute – we are supposed to be in this EU; we are supposed to have free movement of people; we are supposed to be able to buy property elsewhere yet, when we buy a property in Spain, the regions in Spain use local laws to undermine our ability and to actually demand even more money from us. How is it that the EU, at the same time as encouraging free movement of people, cannot do anything about corruption at the local level in Spain?
I think it is important that this issue is brought to the Petitions Committee so we can demonstrate right across the spectrum that MEPs in this House are concerned about issues like that. Hopefully we will find a resolution whereby the Spanish Government and the Spanish regions will finally tackle corruption at the local level."@en1
