¿Hacia la economía circular europea sin los municipios? Una crítica sectorial de la Ley de racionalización y sostenibilidad de la Administración Local

Abstract

On 27th of December 2012, the Parliament passed the Act on rationalization and sustainability within the Local Entities Administration. Few days before, the European Parliament and the Council had passed the General Programme of Enviroment of the European Union until 2020. Apparently, those two texts do not have any relationship. However, this work finds out one point of connection in the references they both make to the waste policy and it analyzes the mentions that the issue devotes to the reform of the local regime in order to assess to what extent they make easier that the Spanish municipalities participate in the transformations required by the european objective of advancing towards a «circular economy» where nothing is wasted.
