As we explained in aentranceprevious, theDecree llei 6/2025, on urgent measures to accelerate strategic projects, published in September, was conceived as a key instrument forfacilitate and expedite the processing of strategic investmentsin the Balearic Islands, both public and private.
However, theBalearic Parliament has not validated the norm, which means its loss of validity and the disappearance of the figure of theProjects of Special Strategic Interest (PEIE)that regulated
A negative impact on confidence and investment
This is a notable setbackcompromises the viability of many investment initiatives, both public and private, who had seen in this decree a clear and safe way to overcome the difficulties of urban planning and administrative processing.
Furthermore, the immediate repeal of the rule sends a worrying message tonational and international investors, which requirelegal security and regulatory stabilityto commit their resources to high-impact projects.
The need for a stable regulatory framework for adaptation actions to climate change
Among the areas that could have benefited the most from this regulation are:climate change adaptation projects on the coast, public initiatives that require speed, inter-administrative coordination and legal certainty.
The non-validation of DL 6/2025 highlights the urgent need for astable, broad and favorable frameworkto promote this type of strategic actions, which cannot be blocked by procedural complexity, jurisdiction or regulatory insecurity.
Our vision
At Araújo & Benetti we consider that, despite the non-validation of DL 6/2025,the need for specific regulation for strategic projects remains evident. Experience shows that investors – public and private – needlegal certainty and agile proceduresto commit resources to major actions.
We trust that the Government and the Parliament will take up this issue and approve a lasting norm that offers the certainty that our economic and social fabric demands.
