The Lanzarote Business Confederation (CEL) is once again raising important issues that require special attention from the Public Administration, such as water management and bureaucratic simplification.
Therefore, the president of the CEL, Beatriz Salazar, together with the rest of the board of directors, will hold two meetings next Monday, November 25, to establish a clear action plan that will unblock both issues, responding to the demands of the island's business community and citizens in general.
The first of the meetings will begin at 11:00 a.m. with the launch of the Water Table, an initiative proposed by the CEL to implement measures to alleviate the island's water crisis. This meeting will be attended by the dean of the College of Architects, Alberto Lasso, and the secretary, Esteban Gil.
On the other hand, at 12:30 p.m., Beatriz Salazar, together with the CEL's urban planning lawyer, Jesús Villogre, will hold another meeting with the president of the Cabildo, Oswaldo Betancort, and the island's vice president, Jacobo Medina, to address the implementation of measures to speed up administrative procedures.
Salazar highlighted the importance of both meetings to advance on essential issues for the future and development of Lanzarote. For the president of the CEL, "it is vital that this first meeting of the Water Table takes place, with the aim of joining efforts to promote, among all, actions that immediately improve the integral water cycle."
"We must promote measures that contribute to ending the water crisis, which directly affects the primary sector, but also other businesses and companies that suffer water cuts and depend on this supply to function correctly," he explained.
The Water Table is made up of the Cabildo, representatives of the primary sector of Lanzarote and the Confederation of Entrepreneurs itself. She also recalled that "one of the biggest demands of the island's SMEs continues to be the need to activate tools that really simplify bureaucracy to speed up times and encourage the creation of new companies that promote investment on the island."
"This will be another of the key issues that we will address at Monday's meeting, from which we hope to come out with defined proposals that represent a decisive boost to the creation of companies and, with it, to the strengthening of the island's productive fabric," he said.
