The Spanish Council of Ministers has established
two Expert Commissions to review the models of funding the autonomous regions and
local funding. The objective is to boost the updating process of the current funding
systems.
Santiago Lago Peñas, director of the GEN
Research Group, has been named member of the Expert Commission that will review the autonomous funding model.
He has been named by the Galician government as their representative in the
matter.
The mission of both Expert Commissions will be to
review and analyse both systems. Moreover, they will have the task to design
two new models which should be based on the principles of solidarity,
sufficiency, equity, transparency, fiscal responsibility and the guarantee of
access to public services.
