Madrid tries once again to pass port reform bill
The Spanish government passed a decree on Friday aimed at liberalising the country’s ports. This is the second time it has tried to promulgate what has become a contentious law which has already been rejected by parliament and prompted threats of widespread strikes.
The law has been amended since its last iteration.
Spain has repeatedly been told by the European Commission to pass the reforms to bring port labour practices in line with EU regulations.
