Bar Goodbyes
Jose Manuel Bar, the Central Government's representative on the island and the man in charge of the police force, claimed last week crime had fallen by 25 per cent since 2003. Bar made the comments in his farewell speech after it had been announced earlier in the week he would be leaving his post after being elected as the PSOE´s new candidate to Congress.
He does so claiming the island is in far better shape than when he took the job. He said that in 2003 there were a total of 15,400 crimes committed in Ibiza and Formentera. This fell sharply to 11,500 in 2007 due to, according to Bar, the increased presence of police officers and their continued hard work. He said it was a statistic very much appreciated by the general public, shown in the fact crime had fallen to 14th place in the monthly lists of what was worrying inhabitants.
He also pointed to the recent fall in traffic fatalities. During 2007 there were just 12 deaths on the island's roads, the lowest levels since 1991 and way down on the 31 and 26 people who perished in 2005 and 2006 respectively. He also praised the response to both the Don Pedro crisis, and to the bomb alerts last year at the airport which, he claimed, showed Ibiza could respond ably to most crisis situations.
He said the main regrets of his tenure had been the delays experienced in the building of the new police headquarters and several other infrastructures, but professed these delays were usual when planning such things.
 
now it becomes clear what it´s all about:
money - money - more money :-)

"...
Hortensius alerted likewise of the instability of that sector,
where "the businessmen has localities, but the festivals are in the hands
of OUTSIDE DEVELOPERS to whom them does not import the image of Eivissa,
and that besides they have facility to be moved from a place to another,
as showed this summer Manumission"...."

Golf Encouragement

The president of the Hotel Association has called for two new golf courses
to be built on the island.
Roberto Hortensius claimed the addition would help prolong the season
beyond the traditional six month period, which has been decreasing
over the last ten years.

He said the courses should be planned in already urbanised areas and added
the projects for a course in Playa den Bossa and San Antoni would both
be extremely beneficial to the island.

Whilst opposing the construction of a golf course out in the countryside, like Cala d´Hort, he asserted the important factor the sport could have in breaking down the seasonal barriers which are currently in place.
He claims statistics show the average golfing tourist wants to play on three courses,
hence the need for two more to complement the installation already existing in Roca Lisa.

i'm still not convinced that having one or two more golf courses somehow signals the end of dc10... or clubbing ;)


i know everyone goes on about golf courses vs the clubs - but the fact is that golfers *dont* want to play golf in the middle of the summer - when the clubs are open.... they want to play from late sep through till may - exactly the sort of "winter tourism" that everyone wants

i could understand if all the talk about not having golf courses were from residents - but it *seems* that the majority of people whinging about golf courses are the "clubbers" - who dont live in ibiza and wouldnt affect....

*gets coat*

maybe that´s why this place here isn´t called
"ibiza spotlight - the ibiza resident forum",
but:
"ibiza spotlight -
the most fun you can have without actually being there" .

Musical Youth
A week after announcing the formation of the Music Council, the president of the Consell Insular, Xico Tarres, revealed he would be seeking the help of the major nightclubs on the island to try and ensure a prolonged tourist season. The move was a surprising one, but has been applauded by the leading players in the tourist section.
It is a startling U-turn by the president, who began his reign last June by warning owners of nightclubs and bars that he intended to clamp down on the industry. He claimed legislation was being flagrantly abused and the situation had spun out of control. Three clubs were closed within quick succession for between one and three weeks. Although the punishment was for offences caused the previous year, the ruling seemed to enforce the hard line Tarres was going to proceed.
This tougher stance was soon backed by the five municipalities. New legislation was introduced by the Town Hall of San Antonio to ensure "after-hour" clubs would be unable to open during the day. Their lead was soon followed by all of the other municipalities.
However after the recent "meeting of the mayors", it was announced a new Council would be formed whose sole purpose would be to promote and market the island's music scene abroad. Tarres, speaking a few days after the announcement, reassured the public this did not mean he would be weakening his stance. However he said a well-controlled "night-time" industry could be very beneficial to the island, and help increase the length of the season. At present the tourist season is very much shaped around the opening and closing of the main nightclubs on the island. The low-cost airlines in particular, cut their flights drastically once the closing parties have finished. Tarres insists that by convincing the clubs to open for a little longer, the possibility exists of extending the season. He claimed he understood the importance of the discos in attracting tourists to the island, and, if embraced, there was no reason the island could not attract a healthy mix of clubbers, families and cultural tourism.
Pere Vidal Amengual, the president of the association of discotheques, said the change in tact of the Consell was a very positive one. He maintained the island had the best club facilities in the world and, with the promotional assistance being offered, "the possibilities were endless". He continued by saying the island offered a quality in nightlife which was unrivalled anywhere in the world. He understood the Consell's fears, but said with the correct controls, the island could grow as both a clubbers and family destination.
Against all the odds an olive branch has been offered by Tarres, a branch which has been gratefully accepted by the club owners. Time will now tell whether the two, who have been at loggerheads for so long, are able to work together and further enhance the standing of the island abroad.
However, the news did not please everyone, with the president of the Hotel Association, Roberto Hortensius, saying the decision to promote the discos at the major tourist fairs around the world was disappointing and extremely short-sighted. He declared it was not to the benefit of most that Ibiza be known only for its nightclubs, and hoped the Consell would have a change of heart.
Later that week the three PP-party mayors, Jose Sala, Vicent Mari and Antoni Mari released a joint statement claiming the idea of the Music Consell was to unite the municipalities legislation on clubs and bars, and to try and eradicate the problem of after-hour establishments. They added they would not support public money being spent on the promotion of "sun and clubbing" tourism.

absolutely nothing compared with their new publicity rule.....

:arrow: breaking the publicity rule will mean up to 30.050€ fines
:arrow: the fines for publicity in san josé will be up to 10 times more than for the closing times

:arrow: san josé approves the norms that will end with the after hours
"san josé, the municipality with the three main after hours on the island, approved last night its norms to regulate the opening and closing hours which will force them to close during six hours (6 till 12 in the morning)"

"the disco association of the balearics, who also did present allegations to the new publicity rule (approved yesterday too), wanted lower fines but they obtained the opposite. there will be fines from 600 to 600.000€"

3.000€ ---> 600.000€..... thats what happens for complaining ! !
 
i'm just doing a blog about that - but needed to wait an hour or so...

i read the paper as saying its a max 600k fine for serious breaches of the after hours ban - not for the publicity side - ddi made it a bit ambiguous in my view ;)

exception for space ???

"...The breaking news that has tongues wagging is the simultaneous confirmation
of the new "no after-hours" law banning all club openings between 6am and noon,
and the news that there might be "minor adjustments" which would allow
"an exception" to the rule.

Of course the name being bandied about by some, as a possible exception, is Space.
Among the unanswered questions fuelling this speculation is the issue
of who exactly will decide what the "exceptions" are - and on what basis?
Will it be open to a vote of local residents (on whose behalf this legislation
was supposedly enacted)?
Or will it be at the whim of the local councillors?
Given the circumstances surrounding the DC10 case -
where the owner is basically in court because the municipality has made
an "exception" in not accepting that the fines he paid covered the infractions -
it seems that this new law, like the old ones, may have plenty of space for interpretation.
Which means room to manoeuvre for the right people.

For the moment, all is mere idle speculation.
We can only watch and wait:
but if the last nine months are anything to go by
there will be a few more plot twists before this one plays out...

i dont think its far fetched to imagine that if a club wants to open on new years day in the borough of san jose that they will be allowed to - without that "exception" san jose paint themselves into a corner - regardless of whether its a club/bar/ or town hall jolly

the point is that if you make rules that are *law* you have to accept that others will expect you to abide by them - so by having that caveat it allows clubs/bars/whatever to apply for a licence to open in the hours that that borough have said you cant... san jose can say no - but they can also say yes ok

the uk does the same with special exceptions to licensing hours doesnt it ?
