from the ibiza sun:the town halls noticed a rise of illegal parties
"theres no legislation to stop them. the clubs are public places so they can enter, but not in a private house. they are looking for legal ways to stop them and will also inform the villa owners that they will be fined if they rent their houses for that kind of activities"
Illegal Parties
In a meeting of all the Town Halls and the local police on Wednesday, there was agreement that new legislation was needed to stop the growing trend of illegal parties. Santa Eulalia and San Jose have been two of the municipalities to suffer most during the summer, with the Councillor for home affairs of San Jose, Paquita Ribas, claiming at least two parties a week were held in various properties in es Cubells, Cala Conta, Cala Tarida and Sa Carroca. She admitted to accompanying police to one of the parties while it was in full swing, and witnessing at first hand the ineffectiveness of the current powers police possess.
At the moment police do not have the right to enter a private house, and being unable to identify the owners or those who are renting the property, they are unable to do anything. She added that most people were aware of their rights and the police officers were being placed in an impossible situation. The mayor of Santa Eulalia, Vicent Mari, suggested that more communication between the municipalities was needed to try and stop the parties before they started. He claimed once they had begun they were nearly impossible to stop. He continued by explaining that most of the parties were advertised via word of mouth, giving officers the possibility of hearing about the gathering beforehand.

from the ibiza sun:
"from next season the town hall wants to introduce a new by-law to regulate the opening times of the clubs so they can not open before 12 noon"
"they explained that dc10 only has cafe concierto licence, a ridiculous permit that doesnt allow people to dance inside the venue. according to them, this venue -which, along with bora bora, the other clubs and the government usually name when talking about illegal venues- has lots of denounces but havent been shut yet due to the slowness of the court system"
"the existing by-law was created in 1987, when nothing of what we have now existed, so everything is deregulated"
Club Crackdown
The Town Hall of San Jose announced their intention to ban "after hours" clubs and bars from next year, after a season marked by a rise in complaints from neighbours. The councillor for home affairs, Paquita Ribas, claimed things had spun out of control last weekend at the closing of Space, with the Town Hall receiving a record number of complaints due to noise levels. She explained there was little they could do this year, as they had only entered into power at the very beginning of the summer, but Ribas revealed that residents within the municipality would not have to suffer the same fate next year.
The municipality is currently using legislation from 1986, which has been described by Ribas as totally inadequate given the changes to Ibiza over the last 20 years. She revealed her administration would be changing the legislation substantially, and create far stricter rules. The Councillor said clubs would be forced to close at 6a.m. and would not be able to open again until 12p.m. This would avoid the situation which currently exists where both daytime and nighttime clubs are open in tandem, with clubs able to open their doors at 8a.m. San Jose is currently the only municipality on the island which has not placed a ban on "after hours" establishments. However this will change from next year, and Ribas said she expected to receive the full support of the Consell Insular.

ps:
some guys don´t understand that they create much bigger problems
with stopping parties between 6am and 12pm -
instead of 2 or 3 places easy to control they force people to spread
around the island to 20 or 30 or more smaller parties which are
impossible to control !
if people take too many drugs or drink too much or both
there are ambulances outside of the clubs waiting to help immediately.
at the smaller private parties normally there is no help at all and
nobody wants to call an ambulance to avoid trouble ...
... so at the end of the season ibiza will be covered
with hidden rotten bodies lying around everywhere

"...
Up and Down
The president of the association of discotheques on the island, Pere Vidal,
revealed on Monday that results for the season had been varying
for the different establishments.
Vidal, who represents around seventy businesses, said the only universal
complaint from all of his members was the shortness of the season.
... Vidal, closed by claiming more promotion of the island's clubs
needed to be done by the authorities.
He claimed that at the current tourist fairs they talked about everything
from flowers to football tournaments, but the clubs did not even get a mention.
He admitted the promotion should not centre around the clubs,
but added they should also not be completely omitted.

And they want to closes the clubs ... they are crazy ! They win to munch money from noise pollutions & all .... mouahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha
Intersting to see what they'll propose as I've heard rumours about trying to push through changes in the law to give police powers to enter properties (in this case, for parties). But surely this will be legally blanket legislation that will affect all Ibenicos, and I wonder how happy they are to give up their freedoms (to a point) in order to stop the 'scourge' of clubbers. I'd have thought that, if ther'es a vote on this, this will show a truer picture of the islanders' stance on the whole matter.
But, as has been noted in the past, it's funny how few quotes (if any) are ever actually from the public, but from the police/govt etc.

and it finally happened this morning.....
sant josep approved a decree that prohibits after-hours opening before noon
"the coexistence was very difficult in our municipality. there were areas in which during the summer life was very bad due to the noise. its not possible to be partying all day, thats why we had to regulate it"

I guess this spells the end for things like the Cocoon and Monza afterparties, but other than that, is this really that big of a deal? For places like DC10, the terrace doesn't really get started until noon anyway, so I don't see how this is going to be bad news for them.
Not if they're 'birthday parties' in a villa it doesn't.
I would hope that any law change that enabled police to enter private property in a situation where there was no danger to person, property or sleeping patterns is resisted by all who value their privacy and freedom.

I'd have thought that it would have some distinct opposition from the Ibenicos and private villa owners. Either that or they'd have to be very very precise in terms of the wording. A blanket law would effectively give the police rights to enter any property though, and I know I'd vote against it if I lived on the island.
Anything precise would surely be open to abuse and interpretation. It'll be interesting to see how it works (or not) if they do try it, as I'd guess they've built a rod for their own back on this one.
