Chronology of events
1977. FEVE In 1977 the line closed Empalme Inca - Arta for a deficit. This whole working line. There was never trains only to Manacor Arta.
1993. For the RD 2232/93 were transferred to the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands skills in transport by rail, hitherto attributed to the stage moments.
1994. Year 1994 establishing a public company SFM (Rail Services de Mallorca) to manage rail operations in the Balearic Islands.
2000. Between 2000 and 2004 seasons SFM remodeling and promotes the works for the reopening of the line-Artà Relay Station.
2002. We performed the study of alternative designs of the line Manacor - Cala Ratjada with cost and feasibility analysis in October 2002 prepared by INTRAESA 2002 SFM. This study was never made public.
2003. The year 2003 was inaugurated the first phase of Link-Manacor station. Without the Transport Sector Master Plan and without any of the Railway Act for having assumed the powers.
2004. The Planning Commission of the Balearic Islands, in session on March 17, 2004, approved the Law no RGE proposció No. 2308/03 on the rail joint project with the reopening of the route -Manacor Arta and expansion path to Cala Ratjada and Cala Millor.
2006. On April 28, 2006 the Governing Council approved a proposal from the Ministry of Works, Housing and Transport Decree Transport Sector Master Plan of the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands (PDSTIB). The PDSTIB includes a term of eight years (2005-2012) and is framed within the Regional Planning Guidelines (DOT). According to the Plan of Railway Tranports Balearic Islands, there is talk of opening the railway corridor Manacor - Cala Ratjada.
2009. On August 28, 2009 the Governing Council adopted the draft reopening only Manacor-Arta, regardless all project to Cala Ratjada and Cala Millor up, even though they had submitted al.legacions in this regard. This line, and presents the project, it has to go through to Inca and Palma. We consider that the project is half done and does not cover the entire Master Plan referred to in the Transport Sector. The project is made without any of the Railway Act to have assumed the responsibilities.
Laws applicable to the works. Mobility counseling bill is wrong
The first phase-Manacor Arta is based on Law 39/2003 and Decree 2387/2004 and does not account of the decree law 16/1987 and 1211/1990, which are in force because not all articles have been repealed by Law 39/2003 and because the Balearic Islands, with the powers, has not legislated on rail. The purpose of the Act 39/2009 is the regulation, within the jurisdiction of the state of rail infrastructure and the provision of railway services and refers to the General Interest Railway Network (RFIG).
understand property lines that are not owned by SFM RENFE therefore not part of the General Interest Railway Network and therefore need not affect the application of Law 39/2003. Although from the Ministry of Transportation and Regional Planning deny it.
The year 1987 was when the train passed the law. The year 1987 had not yet transferred the powers of railway autonomy. The powers were transferred in 1993. And in 2003 it became the law of the rail, apply to the General Interest Railway Network. It is therefore legitimate to conclude that the law to be applied in Mallorca railway material is 1987, since it is not entirely repealed.
addition, the entire path of Manacor - Cala Ratjada, the journey to Cala Ratjada Arta and the party needed to come to Cala Millor is newly created so we understand that it has to apply Law 16/1987 and Article 157 which speaks of the creation of new linees, because the Manacor - Arta is only part of Manacor - Cala Ratjada, and is not RENFE or RFIG therefore can not apply the law 39/2003:
" Article 157. 2. There shall be no establishment of the lines referred to above, where any of the following circumstances: b) That the construction and operation do not arise in economic terms and financially viable, and socially profitable. "
line Inca - Manacor had closed before 1977.
If 1985 was closed more than 900 km of roads is normal for the year 1987 when it passed the law spoke only of new track and not reopening existing roads since they had just closed.
Another problem is that the reopening of the train-Manacor Arta only refers to the phase I of the overall project to Cala Ratjada, and does not consider the project to Cala Ratjada as a whole. We can consider the environmental impact report is only partial in Arta and has not been taken into account the environmental impact that will have the entirety of the line to Cala Ratjada.
believe the first thing you should do is look at the line Manacor - Cala Ratjada (With step by Cala Millor) as a whole. And from here to relevant feasibility studies social, economic and environmental impact. Not make sense to split the project, because if the phase II to Cala Ratjada and Cala Millor is not feasible, as it is not to Arta, and does not exceed the environmental impact report, the construction of the railway in Arta no sense but does not reach the coast where there is most of the population of the East of Mallorca. alegacions The project received the respect by the GOB .
Plan no rail transport highlights and prioritizes the reopening of the line-Manacor Arta, in contrast, specifies that the line Manacor, Cala Ratjada is the one that has less potential demand compared to other railway lines outlined in the plan.
Balearic Islands have not yet legislated on railway autonomy unlike some who also have the powers transferred
Some regions with expertise in the area ceded railway have brought their own legislation rail, while Balearic not legislated on rail. Catalunya (Law 4 / 2006 of March 31, rail) Basque Country (Law 6 / 2004), Andalusia (Act 9 / 2006), have created their own laws on railways since they have the skills and the Balearic Islands have not legislated, when they should have done.
In the Balearic Islands there is no legislation on railways, as there are in other regions, although the ORGANIC LAW 1 / 2007 of 28 February, to reform the Statute of Autonomy of the Balearic Islands, specifies that Balearic Islands have competition from railroads.
train Alternative Association calls for a comparative study of methods
Alternative to Rail Association, believes that before wasting more than 200 million euros it costs to reopen the line-Manacor Arta, going only by Sant Llorenç, Son Carrio Son Servera and Arta, you should make a study of public transport global coverage of the entire region of the Levant.
is necessary to study the union by public transport to over 20 villages of the Levant, before wasting 200 million euros to unite only 5 points of population, considering that there have been no relevant studies of social or economic viability of the project. be reminded that this train left without coverage for more than 75% of the population living on coastal communities.
