the councillor revealed the police had so far fined a total of 25 establishments for the illegal use of PR's. He added that his administration was determined to clamp down on this illegal form of advertising, which he said gave the municipality, and in particular the West End, a bad name. This form of advertising is not illegal, but PR's need to be properly registered and can only be employed by those businesses who already have seven registered employees.
according to the local tv (tef), so far there has been 40 fines of 1.500€ each!! :o

San An Disgust

The Town Hall of San Antonio reacted angrily to last week's news
from the Island Council that €30 million is to be spent on the Playa den Boss area.

Via a letter to the Island Council, the administration revealed it had been working
on a similar plan for the last two years which it hoped would have been given
the go-ahead before the San Jose based area.

Whilst congratulating both the Town Halls of Ibiza and San Jose, which will benefit from the new plan, the administration complained about the lack of correspondence
for their project which was sent to the Island Council two years ago.
The plans, which had initially been agreed with the Tourism department at the Island Council, includes improving public transport, the building of a jetty to attract cruise ships, new residential areas and more "green spaces".

The Councillor for Business Development at the Island Council, Joan Serra Mayans, announced, on Friday, a €30 million project he hoped would transform Playa den Bossa. The funding will come via the Central Government and be part of a €2,800 million package available to the Balearics in order to make improvements to infrastructure in tourist areas.

The following day Serra Mayans said he was surprised by the attack,
before revealing that he had been in talks with the mayor just recently
about financing the project.
He continued that the Island Council were preparing to spend €24 million in the municipality on new infrastructure and reforms, and said that, unlike the previous
PP-run Council, his party were prepared to spend money in all of the municipalities, according to their needs and not their political colour.

Crackdown Continues
The Town Hall of San Antonio continued with their tough new legislation on bars and clubs by sealing off the music systems of three bars, two of which are in the West End and the other in avenida doctor Fleming. Councillor Josep Serra Pilot claimed the action had been taken because none of the bars possessed a café-concierto licence, but all had disc-jockeys playing music, which exceeded the 65 decibel limit. All will now face fines of between €6,000 and €60,000, and will also have to draw up a project before permission is given to play music.
Pilot also announced a number of terraces across the municipality had been checked, after some were said to have exceeded, by around double, the actual terrace space permitted.

These days San Antonio has cleaned up its act, there’s been a huge regeneration programme going on for the last few years and I’m pleased to say that the holidaymakers who stay in the town now are more likely to be cool and music savvy clubbers, which can only be a good thing for the continuation of Ibiza’s fantastic nightlife.

What's annoying and what appears to me is these authorities always coming up with new and crazy ideas of how to change the reputation of the island, or San An or whatever

Why dont they stop trying to put it across as something it isnt and try to better what it is? By trying to improve the safety of clubbers (how? I dont know, its not my job hehe) and party-goers in the places its known for such as San An and the big clubs, and then try and better the more tranquil and beautiful places on the island seperately

Instead of trying to make the reputation of its partying disappear, why dont they try to advertise the island as a party island with much more to see for those who dont want to party in the 90% of the other locations in Ibiza

Is that absolute bollocks or is there a point to be taken from that?!

I have to agree with the judge!! stayed in San an for the first time in a couple of years and i was impressed with the lack of pissed up brits wearing football shirts, chucking KFC's at each other stereotype that us english get tarred with.

Infact it was the spanish who i could hear chanting footy songs at the top of there voice for the whole two weeks! I wonder why that was ;)

Marketing Plan
The municipal of San Antonio was, not surprisingly, the first to act to the news of the possible arrival of 15,000 pensioners from across Europe to the island. The Town Hall revealed on Tuesday it had already had a meeting with all of the leading businesses in the area, including the hotel, restaurant and bar, retail and nautical sectors within the municipality, in order to put itself forward as the outstanding candidate on the island.
After the meeting, the Town Hall revealed that a marketing plan had already begun which would outline why the municipality should receive the pensioners, which are due to arrive from this November, according to plans unveiled by the Island Council the previous week in a joint press conference with the Balearic employment minister, Margarita Najera.
The Town Hall claimed the infrastructure was already in place within the town, and a number of hotels already stayed open throughout the year. This, added to the new promenades and the re-vamped town centre, clearly made the municipality the first choice.
The idea will be similar to that of the Imserso scheme already in place, which offers thousands of Spanish pensioners the opportunity to visit the islands at vastly discounted rates between November and March. The hotels offer substantially reduced prices and the airfare is also heavily subsidised.
The programme will start in several central European countries including Germany, Belgium and Holland, and bring a total of around 100,000 people to the Balearics in the first year, 15,000 of which will be sent to Ibiza. The total would hopefully increase to 500,000 once the project was implemented across the Continent.
The key to the plan, in the first year at least, is to concentrate all of the tourists in the same area which would hopefully encourage more places to open. Although several zones were mentioned, including Playa den Bossa and Talamanca, San Antonio and the bay remain the most likely choices, especially due to the experience they already have with the Imserso groups over the last five years.
However, it appears that the Town Hall does not want to take any chances and has already begun to act in order to seal the deal.
Several days after the San Antonio meeting, the tourist department of San Jose met with business representatives from Cala de Bou and the bay area. Afterwards the councillor for tourism, Maria Angeles Mostazo, said that she hoped the two municipalities (San Antonio and San Jose) would be able to join forces to try and capture the proposed 15,000 tourists from Europe which the Balearic Government are hoping to bring from January 2009. She said she was happy with the level of interest shown by local businesses, and would be speaking to her counterparts in San Antonio over the next few weeks to talk about the possibilities of a joint bid.
 
(btw, even if the article doesnt say anything about it, a little bird told me yesterday the bar also got a fine of 6.000€..... all quite exaggerated for a bar that only has a wee mini-music equipment and doesnt cause any trouble to anybody!! :? )
 
Do these small businesses that are clobbered with fines of this nature simply go out of business, how can they possibly continue to trade having to pay fines of this nature? The penalties do sound very harsh for what appear minor offences.
