The Freedom Time from shops is on the table but employers still have different opinions on it.
Mayor Pilar Barreiro asked to reach agreement when implementing the regulations.
The law is a way of arranging the trade, said the first municipal authority, we were running back to the rest of Europe.
Still, also stressed that although the decree is approved and published in the BOE, this is not an imposition: Whoever wants to open and you do not want him not to, he stressed Barreiro.
Also, the mayor warns employers that Cartagena is a tourist town and as such, has to adapt to the situation and make the new rules.
The law provides for the opening of stores from 72 to 90 hours a week, and will spend eight to ten minimum annual openings on Sundays and holidays.
We opened the heritage resources in terms of tourism, not vice versa, has warned Barreiro who stressed that the intention is that the day of rest is the same for everyone and you have flexible hours to give a good image of the city.
On the other hand, when asked by reporters, the first municipal authority explained that in the budget of the City had seen a rise in VAT: The rise affects us as any citizen, but the municipal coffers are very controlled and from the year 2008 we forecast that allow us to cope with such fluctuations.
