Best August ever THIS August was the best in the history of Andalucia for tourism. That is the claim of the Junta de Andalucia councillor for Tourism and Commerce, Rafael Rodriguez. He revealed data from the National Institute of Statistics which showed that the number of overnight stays registered in the region had increased by 400,000 compared to 2008. In Malaga, more than 1.62 million people stayed in hotels between June and August, which is 5 per cent more than the same period last year. For the first time in years, there have been more foreign tourists than Spanish, with 830,224 and 793,511
respectively from June and August. Malaga has however benefited from the fact that many Spanish

Hospital given go-ahead THE Junta de Andalucia has given the go-ahead for the Guadalhorce Valley Hospital to be equipped. The contracts to equip the High Resolution hospital have been put out for public tender. They include the provision of clinical and medical equipment and furnishings, surgical instruments, technology and communications, specialty and x-ray

Alhaurin el Grande, Alora, Alozaina, Ardales, Carratraca, Cartama, Casarabonela, Coin, Guaro, Monda, Pizarra, Tolox and Yunquera. Despite this, Cartama Town Hall and the Junta de Andalucia have both said they are not sure they can afford to provide electricity for the hospital.

Body found at waste disposal plant THE body of a man, 31, was found on a conveyor belt at the municipal waste disposal plant in Malaga. He was identified by National Police who ruled the death as ‘natural’ after the body was found by staff at the plant. Police said his death was due to complications following a long illness. THIRTY-FIVE complaints have been lodged against the plan to drill for gas off the coast. The Industry Branch of the Government Sub-Delegation in Granada has announced that 35 complaints have been lodged against the environmental impact report presented by Canadian

They also say he was in good health but claim he had mental problems. He had been living between Malaga and Rincon de la Victoria and was reportedly upset because he was unable to see his
daughter. After hearing the news of the body being found, one of his relatives went to the Guardia Civil, fearing it could be his. Police are still investigating how his body could have ended up in a rubbish container, as they believe it was inside one which was collected and the contents dumped at the plant.

Goldfinger reaches day of reckoning THE day of reckoning approaches in the Goldfinger corruption case. The Malaga Public Prosecutor is asking for four years in prison for former Marbella Mayor, Julian Muñoz, in the case. He could also face an 18-year ban from holding public office. His advisor, Juan Antonio Roca, is facing
eight years in prison, a 20-year ban from holding public office and a fine of €7 million. Both are also charged in Spain’s largest corruption trial, the Malaya case, for which sentencing is due next week. Seventeen people have been charged in the Goldfinger corruption case with fraud, urban planning crimes, tax evasion, coercion and document falsification, amongst other crimes. They include five former councillors, two lawyers, a businessman and several financial and tax advisors. Judges have been trying to question the actor, Sean Connery
about his involvement in the case, as well as his wife, Michelle Roquebrune. It would appear that they have been cleared of involvement. They lived in Puerto Banus from the 70s until the late 90s in a beachside mansion called Malibu. The case was opened in 2007 by the AntiCorruption Prosecutor. It focused on three agreements, one signed in 2000 by Julian Muñoz, and the Malibu Society, which owned Connery’s villa. The villa was demolished and then replaced with a development of more than 70 apartments. It is claimed that
planning regulations stipulated that only five apartments could be built on the site of the villa. Lawyers Diaz-Bastien & Truan handled Connery’s business while he lived in Spain. They are said to have negotiated the reclassification of the land with the late Mayor, Jesus Gil and Juan Antonio Roca. Marbella City Hall lost an estimated €2.7 million through these operations. It is estimated by the Tax Agency that the whole operation produced €53 million in profits for the 20 people who were involved in the alleged crime network.

Prostitutes want a plot of their own PROSTITUTES at the Guadalhorce Industrial Estate in Malaga are planning to hire a plot where they can work. This comes following the decision to close the plot to which they had been moved. The Association of Women, Transsexual and Transvestite Sex Workers held a meeting with the city hall at which they asked for another

This area had been provided with lighting, but has now been closed off by the Junta de Andalucia, which owns the land, allegedly because people had been dumping rubbish and rubble on it. The prostitutes have asked for it to be reopened. The city hall has claimed that all the surrounding area also belongs to
the Junta, so they cannot give any land to the women. The prostitutes are now planning to meet business owners on the industrial estate in the hope of hiring a plot of land. The women also complained about the fines they are being forced to pay, and expressed their intention of becoming officially self-employed workers.

Kind-hearted expats are rallying round to help Lara ALREADY the kind-hearted people of the Costa del Sol have responded to the plight of little Lara Gracie. The severely disabled girl desperately needs money to make her life more comfortable and improve her long term prospects. Since Lara, five, was featured in the Euro Weekly News last week, contributions have started coming in. She needs approximately €15,000, with the biggest expense being special made to measure leg splints. Her emotional mother, Steffi, said: “I find it wonderful how total strangers are prepared to help. We had one man go into a Benalmadena bank and put €50 into Lara’s account. It is not just the money, he had to physically go out of his way in his own time to help. I find that very touching.” She added that other people have been fundraising and donating.

Would it not be great if people gave small monthly amounts to ultimately cover all the humanitarian medical treatment? A direct debit of just
€10 a month from 100 people would make a terrific difference, and the money would soon be raised.” Steffi thinks it is a great idea. She said: “We are setting up a charity to be called LGG. Hopefully we will have the charity number in a month so people who want to contribute more can.” She explained all money already put into her account can be used to pay the €450 cost of special oxygen therapy.

Briton is arrested for fraud A BRITISH man, 46, wanted by the UK authorities for fraud and money laundering has been arrested in Marbella. The man, identified as PB, was sentenced in the UK to six years in prison for his involvement with a network which made money by selling shares in a biodiesel company as the result of a fraudulent agreement with the company. Between 2005 and 2007, sellers based in Spain sold the shares to small investors in the UK by exaggerating the outlook for the company and the biodiesel market, claiming that huge deals were being made and the shares were worth more than €130 million on the stock market. The investors were not told that up to 55 per cent of the money went to the fraudsters.

‘I did not let anyone down’ ROB STEVENS, one of the coast’s best loved entertainers, has hit out at rumours that he cancelled a charity show at the last moment. He was due to perform at the Pride of Marbella event, but just three hours before he was due to go on he received a text message from organisers telling him his services were no longer required. “Now everyone seems to think I pulled out. I would never leave a charity like that,” he said tearfully. Rob, who as reported in the Euro Weekly News,
has freely given his time for a host of charity events over the years, added: “All I know is that I had agreed to go on, my dancers for the Dirty Dancing routine were ready to go, and I had the gear in the back of my car. “I am not a happy man. I had to pay for extra staff to man my bar (Manhattan Show Bar in Benalmadena) and people had given up their own time to help out.” He added: “The €250 fee I asked for was not for me, I was passing it on directly to Positively Pink,
the cancer charity which I have been supporting for a number of years. Everyone knew that.” The EWN has since confirmed that. The kind-hearted entertainer added that he was happy to help good causes, and did not want people who had bought tickets, particularly his fans, to feel he had let anyone down.

Charged with daughter’s manslaughter THE mother of a 12-yearold girl found dead near Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, has been charged with manslaughter. Her father has been released with charges after questioning. Police took her into custody because they found contradictions in her story about the girl’s disappearance. The body of the girl, of Chinese origin, was found in the early hours of Sunday morning on a track running parallel to the N550 in Teo, northern Spain, by a couple heading to a disco. Her mother owns a property in the town which is being searched. Her parents, a lawyer and journalist who adopted her 12 years ago, reported her missing at 10pm Saturday. They said that she had been at home alone studying and later had gone out, taking her keys with her. However, her mobile phone was left in the house and she was in a pink tracksuit which she only wore at home.
MOTHER: Charged with her daughter’s death (right). ABOVE: Santiago de Compostela. Her mother, former consul to France in Galicia, claimed she believed she had gone to her father’s home, nearby. However, CCTV cameras in Santiago show her with her daughter when she claimed she was missing. Her mother says they had an excellent relationship. She told police that in July, she had caught a man in their home in the centre of Santiago de Compostela attempting to strangle the girl, but that when she saw him, he fled. She didn’t report it at the time, allegedly so her daughter would not be traumatised.
Police have said the girl was not killed in the same location where she was found, and that someone put her in that exact spot so the body would be discovered quickly. The area is not quiet or secluded and there are houses just metres away. Her body showed no sign of sexual abuse. Police report she was choked and are investigating whether she was drugged, because she did not appear to have put up a fight. She was said to be a bright, dedicated student. The investigation, focusing on the girl’s family and friends, remains open.

Economy set for expansion SPAIN’S economy is set to advance this quarter. This is what the government, particularly Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, has promised all along and analysts are cautiously agreeing. But the improvement will be minimal
according to statistics prepared for the Savings Banks Foundation (Funcas). A third-quarter GDP increase of 0.1 per cent on second-quarter figures is now predicted instead of the zero growth that Funcas forecast in July. The increase will reduce the GDP’s anticipated fall by two decimal points to 1.3 per cent instead of the 1.5 per cent expected this year.

Madrid falls from tourist favour THE 34 million foreign tourists visiting Spain between January and July broke all records. But while this was 3.9 per cent more than in 2012, the 2.4 million foreign tourists who visited Madrid during the same period fell by 5.7 per cent. The Madrid region has now experienced three consecutive months of dwindling foreign tourism, a Ministry of Industry survey revealed. Although there were more US
tourists, there was a noticeable fall in Italian, French and Latin American visitors to Madrid. Nationally, the Valencian Community experienced the steepest rise in foreign tourism during the first six months of the year, with a 12.2 per cent increase. Cataluña continued to receive more foreign tourists than any other region, followed by Baleares, the Canary Islands and Andalucia.

Cookie monster’s money tips! IF a child is confronted with a tasty marshmallow, what do they do? Eat it or save it for later? This simple scenario is the basis of a very famous psychological experiment to test a child’s self-control. The results point to how a child may fair financially in the future. In 1972, 1,000 children were studied - each child was sat in a chair and one delicious marshmallow was placed in front of them. The children were told: “You can have one marshmallow now, or two in 10 minutes, if you wait.” Most of the children tested wolfed down the little pillow of sweetness within moments. Only one third of the children waited the 10 minutes to receive two marshmallows. The experiment proved just how hard it is for children to have self-control and be able to see benefits in the future. But teaching children selfcontrol is vital according to the

financial trouble by their early 30s. The high self-control children, however, are apparently doing very well. They are entrepreneurs, own their own homes and have retirement plans.
Self-control and learning to save at a young age is extremely important and, luckily for parents, Sesame Street is here to help. Over its four decades, the children’s programme has taught tiny tots a lot of valuable lessons. Now Sesame Street friends Elmo, Grover and Cookie Monster are teaching children self-control in order to save money too. In one episode the furry puppet Elmo explains to kids the importance of savings. Elmo explains that when we want something, we can’t have it immediately - that we have to build towards getting it. He uses the example of a ‘stupendous ball’ he wants that costs $5. Throughout the episode Elmo has to do small jobs to earn $5 over some time. If the self-control of our threeyear-old selves really does predict financial prosperity in the future, then I suggest all parents ensure that their children listen carefully to what the Cookie Monster has to say!

INDITEX, the world’s biggest clothing retailer, has seen sales grow, even though profit growth has slowed. The owner of the Zara chain signalled it was not immune to the depressed European markets, where cut price competition combined with a cold spring and foreign currency fluctuations combined to drive down profit margins after a particularly strong 2012. But analysts said the Spanish group’s model of rapidly-changing fashion ranges remained among the best in the industry, and noted fast-growing Asian markets had overtaken Spain as its biggest source of sales for the first time. “We continue to believe Inditex will deliver double

Inditex still growing despite narrowing profit margins
GROWING: Zara leading Inditex growth. digit earnings growth in the medium term and can hold its multiple,” said Bernstein analysts, referring to the company’s shares, which trade at 25 times earnings forecasts for 2013 versus a
sector average of 16, according to Thomson Reuters data. Inditex, which owns eight brands including upmarket Massimo Dutti and teen label Bershka, said
net profit rose 1 per cent to €951 million in the six months to July, reported Reuters. That beat analysts’ average forecast of €926 million, helped by control of costs and a lower tax rate.
Counting on higher harvest
The gross margin slipped to 58.6 per cent of sales versus 59.6 per cent the year before. However, Inditex said it expected gross margins to end the year broadly stable - 50 basis points higher or lower than what it considered to be an exceptional margin in 2012. It also reported a pick-up in sales growth following a weak spring season. Retail sales fell in Spain for the 37th straight month in July and the country still accounts for 19.3 per cent of Inditex’s sales, albeit down from 21.5 per cent a year ago. However, the group said sales in Asia, Australia and Africa had overtaken Spain to account for 21.7 per cent of the total, up from 20.2 per cent a year earlier. Inditex’s shares have tripled in value in five years.
OLIVE OIL: Prices have risen.
HIGH olive oil prices after last year’s droughtstricken crop could leave a smile on farmers’ faces. Prices for premium oils are up a third from last year. With this year’s Spanish crop expected to yield about 1.4m tonnes it could mean a financial fillip for growers.
Spain’s debt continues to grow despite cutbacks WHILE a return to economic growth is on the cards, Spain’s national debt continued to rise in June. The country owes an eye-watering €942.8 billion according to the Spanish Central Bank. That is the equivalent of 92.2 per cent of the country’s economic output for a year. The bank forecasts, if trends continue, that it could reach 100 per cent within three years. Despite austerity measures that have seen cuts in public services across the board, debt has grown 15 per cent in a year. The figure broke the target of 91.4 per cent set by the Spanish government. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s aim to reduce public spending by €150 billion between 2012 and 2014, is proving a tough target with unemployment of 26 per cent reducing the tax take and pushing up spending on benefits.
Banks face ‘haircut’ BANKS owed billions by insolvent frozen fish company Pescanova are being asked to take a 70 to 75 per cent ‘haircut.’ A KPMG audit showed the company had a debt of €3.6 billion, making it one of the country’s biggest bankruptcies. Most of that is believed to be owed to the Sabadell, Popular, Caixabank and NovaGalicia banks. New chairman Juan Manuel Urgoiti was due to meet bank representatives. It is thought he wants them to accept losses as part of a plan to relaunch the firm. But he might have his work cut out as, in an independent action, accounting firm
PwC is drawing up a viability plan to save the company. Measures could include a fire sale of assets and an exchange of debt for shares. That would give the banks control of the company. Whether the banks want to get into the frozen fish industry is another question. Urgoiti is a former chairman of Banco Gallego and sits on the board of directors at success story Inditex, owners of Zara clothing retailers. Former chairman Manuel Fernandez de Sousa and nine former executives face a string of charges in the criminal courts. Several are alleged to have made millions of euros fraudulently.

Just who do you think you are kidding ? INTERESTING to read in the finance pages (Issue 1472) that Telefonica (or Movistar) bosses think they can stop losing customers. They must be kidding! They had better think again unless they change their customer service. Telefonica rebranded as Movistar largely because it had such a dire reputation for service. If my experience is anything to go by nothing has changed. I have now moved to a smaller provider after a long list of delays and problems with Movistar and am very happy to have done so. My new phone company actually seems to want my custom. It is cheaper and offers far better service. So if Movistar, which lost 248,000 customers in March, really wants to turn things around they should sack their head of customer services and employ someone who actually cares for their clients. Jonathan McNamara, Elche (Alicante).
Justice questions TWO stories attracted my attention (Costa del Sol Issue 1472). Firstly, Assault revenge. “A man, 26, was arrested in Malaga for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman, 29. Her partner, 35, was arrested for beating the attacker unconscious.” Should the partner of the sexually assaulted lady just have stood by and done nothing to protect/defend his lady companion? Secondly, Bazaar attack. “Four people were arrested in Malaga for allegedly attacking the owner of a Chinese bazaar. The victim’s husband was also arrested for hitting them with a stick.” Should he have just stood by and done nothing to protect/defend his wife? Two defenders of innocents protecting their loved ones and arrested? Is this sensible, true justice? Jack Nusbaum, Torremolinos (Malaga).
Big picture…
SO! Mary Hopkins (Letters, Issue 1471) is perfectly happy to buy from the looky looky men without looking at the bigger picture. She asks can someone “explain”

Money monsters I AGREE with CG that the ruination of Africa is charity (Letters Issue 1470). Some of these charities seem to be money-making ‘monsters.’ A few months ago I managed to get in touch with two of these so called charities, I complained about their use of young children on the TV adverts. The answer I got was that they were ‘paid actors,’ this referred to a little lad standing in a cot with tears in his eyes. Can you believe it? Then a few weeks later they began showing an advert with a baby a few months old, could that be another actor? They are sick making money the way they are doing. I think they should be educating the populations about birth control! NW Comares (Malaga).
Some exile! I took this picture of housemartins, at the bottom of our garden, being fed by mum and dad. It was extraordinary watching them as neither parent alighted but fed them on the wing.

why the police are set on stopping them. I will try! They most probably do not pay their dues, social or taxes. Many of the goods are counterfeit and some are most probably dangerous (small loose bits dangerous to children, lead paint etc) and are often shoddy and sub-standard. The source of the goods comes from cheap (sweat shop) labour, and most probably from black (drugs/ arms/laundered) money. They are also taking money away from legitimate traders and shops. When the police arrive they pack up and run away because they know they are breaking the law and selling fake goods. If you cannot afford designer goods why buy sub-standard ones that fall to bits? Go to the normal shops and buy something really comparable. I know
these people need to make a living but there are other jobs like cleaning, gardening, window cleaning. Mick Scarles, Javea (Alicante)
Looky out! AFTER visiting Torrox Costa market we took some friends visiting from the UK to a favourite Chinese restaurant on the front for a menu del dia. For the next couple of hours we were pestered every 10 to 15 minutes by hawkers with no respect for our privacy. They were not deterred with a wave of no thanks or even a ‘no gracias’ so our conversations or meal had to be interrupted to, as politely as possible, tell them to go away. As the restaurant owners, who I believe have the right to stop them entering their premises and can be fined if they are caught selling there, seem to turn a blind eye, maybe they are on a percentage. We felt like sitting targets. We would like to be able to have an internationally recognised sign on the table that says no hawkers and be left to enjoy the meal and company. We now seriously think twice about returning to any restaurant where we have been pestered. Diane Clark (By email)
IN response to the letter from Charles Roasad (Gibraltar suffered as well, Issue 1472) on the subject of the award for gallantry for Gibraltar. l find his comparison between the way the citizens of Gibraltar and Malta were managed in some cases amusing. I’m sure the citizens of Malta would have been delighted to have been sent to Jamaica or Madeira. Unfortunately nobody asked them. As for being bombed by the Italians that’s a joke - they used to drop their load in the sea and be home before tea. Ask any Maltese, they loved being bombed by the Italians. As for not asking for the award, see page 73 in the same paper reference Felix Alvares’s comment. (The chairman of the Equality Right Group welcomed a UK Parliamentary question about the George Cross). Clive Graham (By email) Editor’s note; the letters referred to are about a call for Gibraltar to be awarded the George Cross, as happened to Malta in World War 2.
Well done! GREAT news about Keira having her therapy paid for (Issue 1472). Well done to all at Moraira charity shop, you are the sort of people that make life worthwhile! Diana Evans, Javea (Alicante)

Get braced for drunken antics BRITONS in Spain, and Mallorca in particular, are bracing themselves for another hit to their image with the return of ITV 2’s Magaluf Weekender. Last year, series one gave an insight into what young Britons get up to
whilst on holiday abroad, and attracted one million viewers aged between 16 and 24-years-old. And much of it was not a pretty sight. The series unashamedly played up to the image of drunken Brits abroad.
Dinner dance for Poppy Appeal THE Royal British Legion, Coin is holding a dinner dance with entertainment to launch the 2013/2014 Poppy Appeal. It will be held at Alhaurin Golf on October 11, 7.30pm for 8pm. The three course dinner (€30) includes: Starters: avocado and smoked salmon salad or duck, ham and melon salad; main course: chicken breast stuffed with dried nuts, Porto sauce and mashed
potatoes or roasted lamb in its own juice and flavoured potatoes. For dessert: vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce or Santiago cake (almond) with cream. The dinner includes one bottle of water and one bottle of wine per two people. Tickets are available at meetings from Cathy Dean, by contacting the ticket hotline at tickets@coinrbl.info or by telephone 637 474 753 or 663 157 776.
World’s Biggest Coffee Morning for Macmillan PRINCESS STUDIOS is hosting a charity coffee morning in aid of Macmillan Cancer Care tomorrow (Friday). There will be coffee, cake and fun from 1pm to 2.30pm at Princess Studios, Centro Plaza, Nueva Andalucia, and it is all in a good cause! People are invited to join the girls at Princess Studios to help raise money. One in three people will get cancer and it’s the toughest thing many people will ever face. If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, or a loved one has, then Macmillan will be in your corner supporting you every step of the way. Macmillan provide practical, medical and financial support and push for better cancer care. The charity is there for
HOSTS: Charity morning. those suffering and for their families, at every step. Friday will see the girls at Princess serving coffee and cake, there will be a selection of raffle prizes and lots of fun and games to get involved with. From belly dancing to balloons, it promises to be a great afternoon. Coffee and cake for €5, or just come and buy a raffle ticket for one of the great prizes, and support Macmillan by being there. For further details call Princess Studios on 952 813 108 or Amanda on 626 555 574.
Drunken party antics seemed to be the main ingredients of the ‘reality show’ and the same is planned again. But perhaps even more shocking then the bad behaviour on the show are Facebook comments about the
first series. In them many young adults, who profess ‘to know Magaluf well’ say the series is ‘tame.’ Real life in the so-called ‘party capital’, they claim, is much more ‘exciting.’

A breath of fresh art A UNIQUE presentation of the works of Spanish artist, Cristina Duclos, is currently on display in Madrid commemorating over 40 years of an illustrious career. Although she is a renowned portrait artist with several works commissioned from Spanish personalities or paintings of her family, it is her love of nature which provides the main theme of her paintings. She transmits onto her canvases an incredible freshness and fusion of colour in flowers and plants ranging from almond trees, orchids, magnolias, anemones, irises and poppies. She has developed a style rich in fantasy using vibrant colours to convey a fairy tale world where everything seems innocent, beautiful, happy and serene. In both her oil paintings and watercolours she has become a master at harmonising colours using both dark and light backgrounds to project a ‘joie de vivre.’ There is a distinct Japanese influence apparent in several of her works. What makes her art so original is the concept of splitting the canvas into separate sections giving the paintings the appearance of a puzzle within a single frame. More recently she has turned her attention to sculpture, again with nature predominant, producing large bronze

figures of trees, leaves, plants and species of insects. All her sculptures possess a remarkable attention to detail whether it is the branches, buds or large scale insects. Cristina Duclos was born in Buenos Aires. Her father was Spanish and her mother French. When she was five the family moved to Madrid and she began to study art from an early age. During the space of 40 years she has travelled the world with a preference to displaying her works as a sole artist in private galleries. One of her first major exhibitions was in Bordeaux followed by Rio de Janeiro and over the years her works have been displayed at the Grand Palais in Paris, the Portal Gallery in London and Vista Gallery in New York. The exhibition to acknowledge her contribution to contemporary Spanish art since 1973 is at the Casa de Vacas cultural centre, appropriately located in the Retiro Park in the centre of Madrid. It was inaugurated by Madrid’s Mayor, Ana Botella, and runs for an autumn season.

Burka controversies are a ploy to bring in Islamic message
W
HAT no one seems to realise is that all this burka business is simply yet another ploy to bring the Islamic ‘message’ into the front rooms of the ‘infidels.’ Another weapon in the hands of those who would take over our culture and ultimately our democratic freedom. A dozen or so years back no one had even heard of Islam, let alone be interested enough to discuss its pros and cons. Now it’s everywhere. You can’t pick up a newspaper without some Islamic follower spouting off about being ‘offended’ by some action taken by the follower of a different faith, generally Christian. As a Christian country, the UK populace has to be made completely aware that our culture is totally unacceptable to these people, irrespective of how many ‘moderates’ declare otherwise. To these extremists we are the evil face of the non-believer and the ultimate goal of their branch of
CHOICE: Democratic right.
LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT Islam is to rid the world of all who don’t totally encompass the teachings of the prophet Mohamed. We have to make some kind of stand against those who would take away our freedom and plunge our free thinking, often tragically naive populace back into the dark ages. The lessons are there for the taking. All we have to do is take a leaf out
of many Islamic countries’ book. Some don’t allow Christian churches to be erected. Therefore we curb the building of mosques, before there’s one on every street. They don’t allow anyone, even in private, to worship anything other than Islam. We therefore have to firmly discourage the taking over of whole streets by praying congregations. We have to let these people know that halal meat can never be obligatory and pork will always be on the school menu. We must bring home loud and clear that the Union Jack is the flag of our country and it will be flown
over every school in the land if so desired. We must endeavour to prevent ‘no go’ areas and make it absolutely clear that Sharia law is not the law of our land and never will be. Most of all we must stop being petrified to cause offence to these people. So they’re easily ‘offended.’ So what? What are they going to do if we ban the burka in all public institutions (which we should). Declare war? In Islamic countries I’ve seen Western women smacked on their bare arms and calves with pretty hefty sticks wielded by ‘religious police.’ I’m not condoning the physical removal of women’s face masks, but if something isn’t done, I can see the only course of action being one of violence. Do you really want to see our suburbs resembling those of the Syrians? For all our sakes, and especially our children, please God let it never come to that. Keep the faith. Love Leapy. leapylee2002@gmail.com.

Talented film makers flock to EWN
S
OME of the most talented film makers in the world will be on the Costa del Sol for the Marbella International Film Festival. Starting on Wednesday and running until next Sunday (October 6) it will showcase a host of films from all around the world. The Marbella Film Festival, which was first launched in 2006, is the flagship project of New World Trust, an organisation created to provide support for talented artists across the globe. Access to capital or identifying the financial backers are often the hardest obstacle for artists wishing to embark upon an artistic venture. The objective of the trust is to provide start up capital for independent art projects. The support system includes assistance in marketing, project and financial management, business angles, agents and distribution networking, and trying to overcome any other obstacles which potentially hinder the artist’s ability to create. The Euro Weekly News is proud to sponsor the event and act as Official Media Partners. The venues for the festival this year will include the H10 Andalucia Plaza Hotel in Marbella and the Palacio de Ferias y Congresos (Trade Fair and Congress Centre), also in the heart of Marbella, where there will be two screens showing films. It will include the screening of more than 40 films from the USA, UK, Russia, Austria, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, UAE, Hungary, Australia and Albania, workshops and industry networking as well as social events. Once again, the festival will hold its annual 24 Hour Film Challenge. The event offers a great opportunity for film-makers to add to their credits and demonstrate their talent to world audiences. Over the past seven years, the 24 Hour Film Challenge has attracted many talented film-makers, who have created some outstanding work, all scripted, shot, edited, and submitted for screening in only 24 hours. This year, the Festival is aiming to increase participation by offering the challenge online, as well as on-location, thus allowing film-makers from all over the world to make movies and show off their talent. This is not just a great opportunity for artists to get ahead in the tough world of film-making, but also a unique chance for locals and visitors to enjoy a wide variety of short films, documentaries and feature-length movies in the unbeatable setting of Marbella.

Whilst saying what was most annoying was often his lack of help around the house and with the children, she did get him to change his ways, even if she did have to nag a little. “If he helps me I get it done quicker so we have more time together just the two of us.” Lisa Yates from urbanisation Oasis, who runs a family restaurant, has not been quite so successful in getting her Spanish partner to change his annoying characteristics. One of her biggest gripes is his getting a clean glass for every drink he has, even if it is the same drink and leaving the old cup lying around. She has been a little more devious to make her point clear. She said: “Once I hid all

Larry said: “My wife talks too much, sometimes I just switch off.” Tina said: “My husband is a perfectionist, everything he does has to be 100 per cent perfect. Sometimes it drives me mad, he won’t leave a job until it is done. I just go with the flow.” And Chris Reynolds, 49, a chef on holiday in Fuengirola from his Bournemouth, UK, home said: “My wife thinks things to herself, doesn’t tell me, then when I do not know what she is talking about she accuses me of not listening! “That is annoying. The first few years I honestly thought she was right and I either missed things or forgot them. It only slowly dawned on me that it was because she never told me in the first place that I could not remember things. “She still does it after 25 years, so I don’t suppose there is anything I can do about it now.”

On September 11, 1973 the socially progressive president of Chile, Salvador Allende, was ousted from power by a CIA backed coup. In his stead one Augusto Pinochet was eventually installed.

Working as Secretary of the Treasury in the Clinton administration, he was instrumental in repealing the Glass-Steagall act of 1933 which had kept commercial and investment banks safely apart. So, once investment banks had access to depositors’ money there followed a frenzy of financial chicanery on Wall Street and around the world that all came crashing down in 2007. Whereupon happy Larry faded into the shadows for a while, only to recently emerge, bidding for the chairmanship of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, probably the most powerful banking appointment in the world. Thick-skinned would be putting it mildly. Thankfully though, the memories of those dark days at the precipice of monetary meltdown are still as painful as ever and congress has politely told him to return to those shadows from whence he came.

OPINION & COMMENT
Autumn, time to turn over new leaf with a change in routine Is September the true start to the New Year and not January?
E
VER felt that September is the true start of the New Year - and not January? The time when, after the long summer break, kids return to school and adults to work. So much so that, when I still lived and worked in the UK, I used to think of the day after the August Bank Holiday weekend as ‘back to school for adults.’ September always felt like a new start because of the change in routine (at least if you were in school or had kids in school). Your day-to-day life got shaken up anyway so it seemed like a good time to make changes (that were hopefully improvements), initiate projects or get back to some things let go over the summer. A time of fresh starts, self-evaluation and reflection.

WATER SPILLS: Make for weird interview techniques. Maybe even applying for that perfect job … In my last column I wrote about a recent interview in the UK that one applicant at least found weird. Now, however weird interviews may get in this increasingly competitive job market, the main thing’s not to worry if things don’t always go to
plan. A friend once had an interview where the desk consisted of two semicircular tables shoved together, with a large jug of water right in the middle. A few minutes in, he was in full flow and leaned on the edge of the table as he stressed his point. The table wasn't secure,
however, so as he put his weight on the edge the middle bit twisted upwards and propelled the jug and its contents all over the interviewers. Everyone ploughed on bravely but he didn’t get the job. Another mate’s throat dried up during a 15 minute presentation. She asked for a glass of water.
Tricky wait while one of the interviewers went to get it. She then spilled it over her overhead transparencies. Which ran, having been drawn with water-soluble pens so she could tweak them. She got the job - assured that readiness to soldier steadfastly on after such a humiliating spectacle of incompetence gave her the edge. Which reminds me of my own humiliating reply to one final interview question: “So, what three words best describe you?”… “Very bad at maths” (Get it?).

PANISH opposition to Catalan independence is usually more visceral than cerebral. It whiffs of ‘if you aren’t with us you are against.’ Neither Mariano Rajoy nor any other president will make progress until Madrid stops trying to turn Catalans into Spaniards. They are Spanish insofar as a Scot is British. Even those not pushing for independence are Catalans first. In Madrid the constitutional legality of an ‘in’ or ‘out’ vote is overshadowed by fears of massive support for independence. This is no foregone Cassandra Nash conclusion. Pia Ahrenkilde, and not entirely impartial reaction – European Commission to the Spanish political scene spokeswoman, recently challenged pro-independence claims that secession would not entail EU exclusion. If a country declares independence it automatically stops belonging to the EU, she said. She was echoed by EU vice-president INDEPENDENCE: Not cost-effective. and Competition Commissioner, Joaquin Almunia. Leaving the EU would entail lost funds, no single market, passports and years of application formalities, Almunia warned. ROSALIA IGLESIAS is threatening to talk.

but discretion. She was, after all, present when Rajoy and Arenas paid off her husband after his forced resignation. “If they want war, they’ll have it,” she said recently, without needing to define who ‘they’ are. “If we have done anything, we’ll pay for what we have done, ANA BOTELLA: but not for what Did her best. others have done.” Her husband opened a can of worms. Is Rosalia Iglesias preparing to add to the mess with a cascade of spilled beans?
Superior to critics ANA BOTELLA, mayor of Madrid, inherited the 2020 Olympics bid from her predecessor, Alberto Ruiz-Gallardon, now Minister of Justice. Allegedly she was never convinced by the project but took it on. To her credit she did her best and to her further credit made a chirpy, bright-eyed
little speech in English as she put forward Madrid’s claim. Scorn and ridicule immediately rained on her from all sides at home, although Botella’s accented English was superior to that of many of her critics. The criticism is further proof – as though it were needed - that politics in Spain focus on demolishing the individual, not the message.
Heavy-handed BULLET holes have been visible in the ceiling of the Madrid parliament chamber since February 1981. They remain there as a reminder of the attempted coup d’état, protected by every government since then. Until now. Those over the press box disappeared during renovations and redecoration and unblocking them will be impossible, workmen said. A pathetic attempt at obliterating the past? More likely a prime example of la chapuza. This is the classic repair or maintenance job that either collapses, explodes or implodes shortly afterwards, or lasts for centuries. The filled bullet holes most likely belong to the last category.

OPINION & COMMENT
The land of my fathers Male voice choirs and the Welsh flag are two things I love
I
HAVE nothing against the Welsh. After all, as man and boy, I was blissfully happy in the land of someone else’s father. However, not everyone agrees. Their most famous lyricist, Dylan Thomas once said, “Land of my fathers? They are welcome to it.” The Welsh comedian, Max Boyce, did not share his sentiments. Tongue in cheek he reminded the English that if an iron was run over Wales then his land would be bigger than England once the wrinkles (mountains) were ironed flat. The Welsh sense of humour tends to be sardonic. What do you call an Englishman in the knockout stages of the World Cup? The referee. There is delicious rivalry. What do you call a Welshman with several sheep? A pimp. Their brand of humour can be enlightening. I recall using a lane approaching a Welsh farm. The notice said, ‘Slow! Free Range Children.’ Noted for their sullen insularity the Welsh are notoriously anti-stranger. I thought it was because they thought me English. No, my son, who hails from Wrexham, said:

“They show dislike for me too.” Whoever penned the lines ‘There‘ll be a Welcome in the Hillside / There‘ll be a Welcome in the Vale,’ should be dragged before the courts for misrepresentation.
WALES: A land I was happy in. I have asked locals in real Welshspeaking Wales, the Lleyn Peninsular, Anglesey and Snowdonia if it is true that they do not welcome visitors. Agreeably they agree. Venting my frustration with a friend who lives in Llangollen. “Everywhere else changes,” I said, “but not Llangollen, Corwen, Bala, and Anglesey. If one of
Owain Glyndwr’s warriors were to revisit he would not see change.” “That is music to my ears,” she told me. A neighbour in our Welsh village hailed from Birmingham. “All I can see is bloody mountains.” “Oh,” my mother sympathised. “Perhaps we should drill holes through them for you.” “And what would you see,” he retorted. “More bloody mountains.” It has been said the Welsh are the Irish who could not swim. At the time of the first millennium, when Saxon immigrants were overrunning Shakespeare’s sceptred isle, the Britons (the Welsh to you and me) retreated towards the West. An early form of ‘white flight’, the then indigenous locals looked upon the new English as smelly heathens. I am not sure if the enmity between the Welsh and the English is genuine or teasing. I think the latter, for in truth I was very happy in Wales. They can be quirky, but who isn’t? One thing I do love of theirs - two actually. Their male voice choirs that bring a lump to my throat. And of course their flag. I could die for their flag. Cymru am byth.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Concentrating on hearth and home gives you great satisfaction. As a born homemaker, you relish the idea of making something beautiful. This week it may be possible to show more of your skills when someone seeks your advice. This time it is on more of a personal note and you could end up helping with appearances. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Making a new start is not always the exciting thing that people imagine. When there are still old matters to be resolved, it takes the edge off the pleasure. It may be worth cooling off a new relationship until your social life is more settled. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Get both business and personal plans sorted out in the coming week. Thereafter, changes to your routine may be necessary, which is disruptive. The best-laid plans can need adjustment, so donʼt beat yourself up over that. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Someone close has ideas about how things should be at home this Christmas. Although you wish to show an interest, and should, they may be more ʻhands onʼ than you. Do whatever your talents allow to help because this will not be forgotten. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) The pleasure you will get from helping in the home this week should not be underestimated. What you have been thinking of as a chore turns out to be a great ball of fun. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Your relationships to others linked to the home environment are going well.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Your mind is as sharp as a razor this week, so woe betide anyone who tries to trick you.

A very British institution is the Holiday Camp. At the heart of Pontin's Holidays was the Entertainments Team - the Bluecoats. An oft-asked question was, "What do you do in the Winter?" In 1982 two Bluecoats, one from Wales, one from Scotland, found themselves working together, and falling in love. At the end of the season,
separated, their love letters answered this question. In an age before mobile phones, texts, social networking, digital cameras, and the internet, these letters explore the difficulties, frustrations, doubts, and occasional hilarity of loving at a distance, and surviving Thatcher’s Britain.

Frozen shoulder can be very painful THE proper name for this condition is Adhesive Capsulitis. This condition causes pain and stiffness in the shoulder and over time the shoulder may become very difficult to move, hence the description ‘frozen’ and the location is the ‘shoulder.’ All joints have a flexible tissue sac around them and this sac is called the capsule. The capsule surrounds the bony ends and where the bones meet is the joint. The lining of this capsule supplies lubrication and nutrition to the joint. The term adhesion refers to tissues becoming stiff and tense and when this happens, movement is compromised. This stiffening process can occur for many reasons and may be accompanied by an inflammatory response which means it becomes hot and sore. The cause of a frozen shoulder is not fully understood and there is no clear connection to the dominant arm or particular occupation. Statistics say it affects about 2 per cent of the population.
Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com There are however some factors that make the risk of developing a frozen shoulder more likely: Being over the age of 40. Being a woman. It is 70 per cent more common in ladies than in men. Having a recent tendon injury or fracture as this may cause the capsule to stiffen due to immobility and poor posture. If you have suffered a stroke, as the muscle tone is lost on the affected side causing poor joint position. Also, helpers pull on this arm to help but sadly this can make matters worse. Having an over or underactive thyroid. Being a diabetic as 10 per cent to 20 per cent of diabetics may be affected. Having Dupuytren’s Contracture. This is a condition
where small lumps of thickened tissue form in the hands and fingers and may result in shoulder / hand syndrome. Suffering from Parkinson’s as this is another condition that causes generalised muscle and joint stiffness making the shoulder more vulnerable. Cardiovascular diseases. It is my impression, after many years of treating this condition, that there is much more influence from the neck than many think. For this reason (in my opinion), when treating this condition, your physiotherapist should treat the neck as well as the shoulder. They should focus on deep tissue work, as well as aiding the problem with machine assisted therapies like electrotherapy. Restricted neck movement can be caused by poor posture or injury but poor posture is particularly more of a problem when you spend long hours sitting in a fixed position i.e. at a computer, working at the
check-out of a supermarket or anywhere with long hours in a fixed position doing small repetitive movements. As I always reiterate, finding a good physiotherapist is essential for a successful recovery. It is very important for you to understand the condition and to be given a good home

Girls dressing up for girl friends WOMEN spend more time getting ready for a night out with girl friends than for a date. A new study on 2,000 women conducted by Malibu Rum found that on average, women spend 40 minutes getting ready for a date, but more than an hour getting ready for a night out with friends. Two thirds of the women involved in the study said the reason behind this is they want to ‘wow’ their friends by looking the best they can and also admitted to comparing their appearance to that of their pals. And for this reason spend more time preening than they
perhaps normally would. Whereas 50 per cent of women admitted they have to rush to get ready for a date night, because their partners are ready considerably faster and lack patience. For some, however, it’s about the revelling and enjoying the process with a cocktail or glass of wine, and the music on whilst choosing the best outfit, hair and make-up to complete the look. That’s why, according to the study a further 44 per cent of the women surveyed also admitted they enjoy the experience of getting ready to go out with friends just as much as the night out itself.

HC Marbella, at the forefront in the fight against cancer HC Marbella International Hospital has expanded its existing Radiodiagnostic Unit with the incorporation of a PET/CT camera. This cutting-edge technology device, said to improve the locating of a primary tumour by 50 per cent, was unveiled at an event held at the hospital premises. The event was attended by HC Marbella International Hospital Director Luis Torrabadella, Oncology chief Hernan Cortes-Funes and Marbella Mayor Angeles Muñoz, as well as oncology and radiology professionals from all over the region. The PET/CT - Computerised Axial Tomography by Positron Emissions - is a technology that combines two different image techniques in order to get a complete vision of a tumour. Only six of these cameras are available in Andalucia, three of them being in Malaga. “This is proof of how this hospital has evolved in recent years,” said Director, Luis Torrabadella. Oncology chief, Hernan Cortes-Funes explained this camera is used to detect
tumours, whether benign or malignant, and their exact location. “It can even detect tumours as small as six millimetres,” he said. Cortes-Funes, who is also Oncology chief at the prestigious 12 de Octubre Hospital in Madrid, added the PET/TC camera can be used to diagnose other illnesses including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. The process lasts approximately 20 minutes and starts with an injection of a radioactive tracer combined with glucose that acts as a light bulb emitting the radiation, indicating where the lesions are. This means greater comfort for the patient and a benefit for the specialist, who can obtain an easier to interpret anatomic-functional image within minutes. HC Marbella International Hospital is currently carrying out different diagnosis techniques to provide personalised treatments to patients in cooperation with the 12 de Octubre Hospital in Madrid. In addition, it has established partnerships with several research centres from Europe and the US,

Spanish drink more beer over summer
BEER: Best served cold.
SPANIARDS today drink more beer than in 2012, a study has revealed. Beer represents an average 1.36 per cent of their shopping basket, that is 1.1 per cent more then last year, the study carried out by the Agriculture, Food, and Environment ministry claims. The amber nectar is the favourite drink for the summer months and December, unexpectedly beating the traditional cava during the Christmas holidays. The average beer drinker in Spain is a father of two, aged
between 35 and 64 years old. By regions, Andalucia is where more beer is drunk in Spain, followed by Murcia, Castilla La Mancha and Extremadura. Last on the list are Cantabria, Navarra and Asturias, probably because local drinks like cider are more popular. Non-alcoholic beer is not very popular in Spain, the study claims. Only 1.6 litres in 10 litres consumed are alcohol free. In fact, nonalcoholic beer sales have decreased by 4.8 per cent in Spain in the last year.

Some like it hot SCIENTISTS from University College London have found Sichuan peppers, a popular ingredient in China, contain a chemical that activates touch sensors in the mouth. This could be why some people enjoy their food the hotter the better, while for others the sensation caused by eating chillies is painful. Researchers are
unsure exactly how it happens, but when chillies are placed inside the mouth, chemicals called capsaicinoids activate the parts of the tongue that determine if food is hot or cold. The peppers also contain a chemical called sanshool, that activates touch sensors. The findings could be used to discover why taste differs from person to person.

A third of food is wasted A THIRD of all food produced worldwide goes to waste. A UN report reveals that around 1.3 billion tonnes is wasted, along with all the energy, water and chemicals needed to produce and dispose of it. The UN said if the food waste was a country it would produce more carbon dioxide than every nation except China and the US. In the industrialised world, much of the waste comes from consumers buying too much and throwing away what they do not eat. In developing countries, it is mainly the result of inefficient farming.

Are you now a sugar junkie? SUGAR is addictive. That’s the conclusion from a group of French scientists who said that laboratory rats chose sugar over cocaine, despite being addicted to the drug. Research shows that Britons consume, on average, almost 160 teaspoons of sugar each week and 60 grammes a day. Including natural sugars, that daily total rises to 93.5 grammes. Despite the high levels, according to the National Diet and Nutrition Survey, a rolling research
programme that aims to give a yearly snapshot of our eating habits, we are now eating fewer sugary snacks. However, it is the hidden sugars that are keeping levels high. “We have swapped sodas for smoothies and fruit juice and this is one of the worst things you can do in terms of sugar consumption,” says Anna Raymond, spokesman for the British Dietetic Association.

Limited pickings to save local mushroom AUTHORITIES at the Catalan region of Val d’Aran want to limit the picking of the local ‘bolet’ mushroom. In a bid to prevent people from other regions making one-day trips to pick the unique mushroom, the Val d’Aran

Local customers say the beef joints are “exceptional!” Owner Scott Gray says his secret is “hanging the beef prior to selling it, this makes sure the meat is tender and has loads of flavour”. Scott has been in

Fuengirola for over 20 years and says providing excellent customer service is really important to him, for this reason he will outsource many products he doesn’t stock on request
from customers, including rarer cuts of meats or specific requests for items like sausages. Scott says he can get any kind of sausage a customer likes, “I can get ones without colourings or breadcrumbs in them or even unusual kinds like South African sausages (boerewors).” “I can get different cuts of meat to order on request too, like venison, pheasants, pickled ox tongues, salt beef, ham shanks, and ribs of beef and bacon, gammon joints and boiling bacon.” Scott also provides his customers with tips on how best to prepare and cook cuts at home; “people often ask ‘how long do I cook it for and at
what temperature?’ And I can give them a good recipe and guide them on how to cook the meat.” As well as the various cuts of meats, The Scottish Butcher also stocks a variety of British condiments, sauces and curry pastes to complement meats at the different stages of cooking and serving, including sea salt, apple sauce and horseradish.” You can find the Scottish Butcher upstairs in the indoor market across from the train station in Fuengirola, every day except Sunday.

Making the most of your garden
SEVERAL times during the past year we highlighted the fundamental need to design or redesign your garden to match your intended or evolving lifestyle here in Spain. People really need to plan if they are to make the best of their location, the climate and the investment they have made in buying and improving a house. Naturally what people plan for will depend on their circumstances. For instance if they are an enthusiastic and still fit gardener it could be the design and development of the botanic garden of their dreams. But if still working and a non gardener, a minimalist low maintenance garden might be the most sensible solution. Most will aim for somewhere between. However, whatever people aim for they should focus on creating an oasis from the

increasingly stressful world of what is becoming in many areas an overbuilt and ugly coastline of Spain. Start by planting high hedges for privacy, security and noise reduction. Then aim to satisfy the following generic needs: • The creation of summer shade and sheltered winter sun by the maximum use of the natural shade provided by the shadows of the house and by planting flowering or evergreen trees, palms and internal hedges if a large garden. • Sufficiently large cool surfaced terraces to enable outdoor entertaining and leisure

RAINWATER: Saves money. activities, some shaded by trees or plant covered gazebos. • A network of attractively paved paths connecting the various terraces, main features and doorways of the house. • Interesting features such as fountains, ponds and rockeries, and a swimming pool or Jacuzzi. • In the remaining spaces make attractive plantings of flowering and perfumed deciduous and evergreen plants. • Consider planting a perpetually flowering/ fruiting lemon tree, one or more orange or mandarins and, if at a low altitude, a grapefruit tree. • People who enjoy
fresh vegetables can try to fit in at least a small raised bed in a corner of the garden and aim to produce them organically. We manage to harvest fresh vegetables daily throughout the year. Reduce the size of your water bill in achieving the above by being creative in collecting and distributing rainwater. To help gardeners new to Spain, as well as longtime residents who want to rethink their gardens, we describe 400 of the most practical plants for Spanish gardens in our book, ‘Your garden in Spain - from planning to planting and maintenance.’ The descriptions of each plant include
indications of their drought and frost resistance and suitability for coastal or inland gardens. Luckily, although many plants were late to flower this summer, autumn gardens are now even better than normal. The recent rain did wonders in brightening up plants and made the soil easy to work. So if you are planting up a new garden or filling in gaps in an established garden it’s possible to now plant out some of the more hardy plants and trees before the winter sets in. More delicate plants should be planted in the spring if you expect cold winds and frosts. Be sure you reflect on the impact of the frosts and dry summer months of the past few years on your garden before buying new plants. If you want a simple garden recognise that a Spanish style garden can be achieved with only five plants.
Namely palms, cordylines, lantanas, hibiscus and irises. To these could be added geraniums if you are prepared to spray twice weekly from March to November against the dreaded geranium moth. If you have a larger garden it often makes sense to lay out your plot as a series of interconnected mini gardens each with a different style and type of plants. We suggest some creative ideas in our book to help you create something special and appropriate to your outdoor lifestyle. And we don’t forget the special needs of penthouses and apartment terraces for which Clodagh and I wrote the dedicated book ‘Apartment gardening Mediterranean style.’ See the advert on this page if you are interested in buying this.

Mortgage clause can be removed
INTEREST RATES: Are at an all time low.
THE Supreme Court has reaffirmed an earlier ruling saying that if transparency rules were not followed, minimum interest rate clauses on mortgages would be null and void. The transparency rules include banks failing to inform customers fully of the clause and burying the information amidst paperwork, failing to offer comparison products and not informing clients that if the interest rate fell to a certain
level the mortgage would become a fixed rate mortgage. Such clauses mean currently, as interest rates fall to an all time low, customers are not benefiting and continue to pay higher interest rates on their mortgages as the clauses prevent the rates charged from dropping to the actual market level. The ruling was issued after a number of banks asked for clarification on the
original Supreme Court ruling. As a result the BBVA has removed the clause from customers’ contracts and other customers who felt they were mis-sold their mortgage can now ask for its removal. The Supreme Court did say the minimum interest rate clause was legal as long as customers were fully aware of it and realised the risks arising from variable interest rates.

The President and the EGM A COMMON scenario in many a community administrators office is one of an owner asking or even demanding the administrators call a general meeting. So pressing is their concern to address an issue, that they insist on an Emergency General Meeting (EGM) be called straight away, rather than wait for the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Only to be told, sorry this is not possible, community administrators are not empowered to call a community meeting. The administrator explains once again, that there are specific laws about who and how an EGM can be called. No matter how frustrated the owner is, the governing Law of Horizontal Property is quite clear on this, article 16.1 ‘1. The General Proprietors Meeting will meet at least once a year to approve the budgets and accounts, and at other times if the President considers it convenient or if a fourth part of the proprietors require it, or a number

with Pete Woodall, Woody’s Los Boliches
of them who represent at least 25 per cent from the participation quotas.’ This situation often stems from a conflict between an owner and the community president, and he or she would like the current president voted out and a new one elected. To do this properly - outside of the AGM - there must be an emergency general meeting, which is usually called by the president but despite repeated petitions, the president - who may not want to be replaced remains uncooperative and refuses to call the meeting. In this case the
disgruntled owner can only move forward by assembling enough owners, with enough voting power to force the issue. Owners usually understand that within a community each property has a quota, expressed as a percentage and when added up, the quotas total 100 per cent. The quota percentage, usually based on the characteristics and size of the property, represents an individual’s ownership and their voting power within the community. For a group of owners to call for a - legally recognised - meeting they must collectively hold 25 per cent or more
of the quotas. Alternatively, a single owner with a personal quota of 25 per cent or more is also entitled to ask for an EGM to be held. Should the president still refuse to call a meeting then the administrator will and they can hold one themselves with or without the president. After the group makes their petition the administrator counts up the individual quotas of the owners or owner, if it totals 25 per cent or more then they can have an EGM and the administrator will arrange it. If it is less than 25 per cent then the owners have no right to call for an EGM until they get the support of more owners. The only other possibility to force a general meeting would be to start a court procedure and get a judge to instruct the owners to call a meeting. This can only be done if the president has not held a general meeting for more than one year, as according to the letter of the law, all the
CONSTRUCTION: Spain showing more activity.
New build homes are all the rage once again ACCORDING to a recent report by the EU statistical office, Eurostat, the heart of the construction sector in Spain is beating once again. National production increased by 4.1 per cent
in June compared with the same month in 2012. This increase places Spain as the second most active Eurozone nation in this sector. Marc Pritchard of Taylor Wimpey España, said
there has been little new construction since 2008. “What’s big is new build. Our sales figures across all our developments show exactly this.” He said the Spanish
property market has been “incredible” over the last 12 months, adding that he hasn’t seen interest levels as high for many years as people used their summer holidays to hunt for their ideal second home.
communities have to hold at least one general meeting every year, to at least approve the accounts and budget. At this meeting the reelection of the president or election of a new president can take place. As always, as lawyers specialising in community law for Intercala Property Administration of La Cala de Mijas and Benalmádena, strongly encourage everyone to seek competent legal advice in all matters relating to the laws of Spain.

Encouraging signs for Malaga after winning last two games MALAGA’S recent improvement continued with a well deserved four points in their last two matches. On Tuesday thay had a comfortable 2-0 win against newly promoted Andalucian rivals UD Almeria. That followed a well earned point in a scoreless draw with Real Sociedad at Anoeta.
Dave Redshaw
Malaga CF Reporter Malaga CF Reporter Dave Redshaw Dave is the author of ‘Malaga Football Club – The Story’ available from Amazon.
The Basques entered the game on the back of a disappointing 2-0
Champions League home defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk yet made the most of the early running, with Mikel Gonzalez seeing his shot fly narrowly wide, and they did have the ball in the net on 19 minutes. However, Inigo Martinez was adjudged to have handled Diego Maradonastyle and was fortunate to escape with just a yellow
card for his blatant indiscretion. The Costa del Sol side almost took the lead on the half-hour mark when Francisco Portillo forced Claudio Bravo to superbly tip his powerful shot from the edge of the box over the bar, while Sergio Sanchez’s heading from the resulting corner almost found the far corner.
Greg Harlow brings group to Miraflores FORMER World Champion Greg Harlow is bringing a group of bowlers to Miraflores Bowls Club on Tuesday. The group is travelling to Malaga as part of a No Fly Cruising holiday organised by the bowls centre of Potters Leisure from Norfolk. The Balmoral cruise ship will be docking in Malaga for one day only to enable the bowls match against Miraflores to take place before continuing to travel the Mediterranean, where it will stop for two other bowls matches in Menorca and Murcia. Spectators are welcome to attend and watch one of the world's top bowlers in action. Refreshments and food will be available.

Five minutes later Mounir El Hamdaoui was just off target as Malaga finished the half the stronger of the two teams, yet it was La Real who came out with more purpose after the break. Imanol Agirretxe latched onto Xavi Prieto’s header in the 55th minute but fired wide, and Jose Angel also went close with a free-kick. Willy Caballero then had to be on hand to turn Carlos Vela’s effort round a post, although the Mexican was flagged offside. Two quick chances immediately followed for the visitors, Santa Cruz again fluffing his lines and Fernando Tissone somehow contriving to miss with the goal at his mercy. Nonetheless, neither team possessed the cutting edge needed to take all three points and had to settle for a share of the spoils.
