Press Release: Public procurement: Commission requests Spain to modify Valencia town planning law

The European Commission has sent Spain a further formal request to modify the law on land-and-town planning that applies to the Valencia Community – the Ley Urbanística Valenciana ("LUV"). This request takes the form of an additional "reasoned opinion", the second stage of the infringement procedure laid down in Article 226 of the EC Treaty. If there is no satisfactory reply within two months, the Commission may refer the matter to the European Court of Justice.
