Valladolid (EFE).- The Junta de Castilla y León has resorted to legal techniques to try to solve, at least temporarily, the threat that hung over the ranchers of the Community as a result of the limitations on the movement of cattle established by the Ministerial Order that was approved to alleviate the effects of the regional Order that contravenes state and community regulations on livestock sanitation.
In the press conference after the Governing Council, the spokesman for the Board, Carlos Fernández Carriedo, tried to explain that the legal tool used by this Administration is not to oppose the precautionary measure to suspend the validity of the Order Ministerial, which means that the limitations on the movement of cattle would be rendered ineffective.
Carriedo has stressed that the problem is in the situation generated by the Ministerial Order, but has ignored that this resolution in force since this week has its origin in the Order of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Rural Development, in force since 15 May, which contravenes what is established in state and community regulations, as the commissioner for this matter transferred a few days ago to the vice president of the Board, Juan García-Gallardo (Vox), and later the Ministry.
“Make sanitation more flexible within the law”
The intention of the Board is to maintain its will to “make it more flexible within the law”, but what Carriedo has not detailed is the way in which they intend to put it into practice to overcome the questions that have come from the Section heads themselves on this matter. in the nine provinces of the Community, which have alerted the Ministry of the situation.
The spokesman for the Board has insisted that the approach is consistent with the position of the farmers with respect to the Ministerial Order “to avoid the damage that is caused.”
In this sense, he has recognized that giving up applying the regulations that were approved by the Ministry is “more favorable” than the Ministerial Order preventing the transport of cattle, that is, their commercialization outside the Community, although he has qualified that they will not to repeal the Order of the Council.
Given this scenario, when asked about what farmers can or cannot do, Carriedo has indicated that currently and until a judge rules on the precautionary measure, the Ministerial Order is still in force, so there can be no movement of cattle outside of Castilla y León, although he is confident that this resolution that causes the Order to decline will arrive “very immediately”.
