On April 4th<\/sup>, the President of the Spanish Government announced his intention to request the Congress of Deputies to agree to the extension of the State of Alarm for at least 15 days more. Therefore the State of Alarm, enacted on March 14th<\/sup>, will be maintained until midnight of April 25th<\/sup>.<\/b><\/p>\n

His petition seems to have the support of the leaders of the rest of the political forces in the State; nevertheless, the extension will not be made official until it is approved by the Congress of Deputies at the forthcoming plenary session scheduled for April 9th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

However, and as the President Pedro S\u00e1nchez has already announced, the extension of the State of Alarm does not necessarily imply the extension of the suspension of non-essential activities, a suspension tackled in our publication of April 2 (RDL 10\/2020 of March 29<\/a><\/b>th<\/sup><\/b> \u2013 Suspension of Non-essential Activities<\/b>) that, since these restrictive economic measures were made public, has received a lot of criticism and pressure to analyse its possible moderation or suppression. Both on part of the industries that asked to maintain their essential activities in order to prevent the total economy freeze, and the political forces in the country. Therefore, and depending on the decisions made by the Government, these non-essential activities might be reactivated from April 9th<\/sup>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As we have seen, during the three weeks of the State of Alarm that we have already undergone in Spain, this situation is having an enormous impact on all social and economic sectors in Spain and, in particular, the sectors of industry, commerce and trade, and a part of the transportation sector have been severely hit by this situation.<\/p>\n

FISHERIES SECTOR<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food published Order APA\/315\/2020 of April 1<\/b>st<\/sup><\/b> in the BOE<\/b><\/a> (Official State Gazette). This Order establishes new criteria for the management of fishing quotas assigned to the Kingdom of Spain in order to optimize their use and modifies certain Ministerial Orders that regulate these concepts since 2014. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This Order is mainly applicable to the stocks subject to the total allowable catches and quotas in the peninsula waters of the Atlantic Ocean.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These are the main measures that have been taken:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
