The delegate of the Government in Cantabria, Ainoa Quiñones, has highlighted that a total of 80 municipalities in Cantabria, the majority of small municipalities, already receive technical advice from the Government of Spain to speed up and facilitate the access of municipalities to the funds of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR), as well as collaborate in the management of the funds granted.
He praised it this Monday after the meeting he had with officials of the public company Tragsa in Cantabria, specifically with the manager of Tragsa in Cantabria, José Luis González Marquina, and technicians who manage the advisory project.
Quiñones has supervised with them the progress of the initiative in Cantabria, promoted by the Ministry of Finance and Public Function and offered by Tragsa through its subsidiary Tragsatec, and has encouraged the other Cantabrian municipalities to benefit from this advice.
The delegate of the Government in Cantabria has taken advantage of this meeting to add value to the footprint of the Recovery Plan at the local level, and has extolled that “the objective of the Government is not to lose a single euro of the funds of the Recovery Plan and to speed up the arrival of these funds to each city council”.
COMPLEMENTARY ADVICE
Tragsa has offered this technical assistance service since March 15 and requires the beneficiary entity to formalize a prior accession. The priority objective is the local entities with less than 5,000 inhabitants, which are usually the ones with the most limitations and difficulties in management. In addition, it is also possible to join the community and university associations.
In the case of Cantabria, the University of Cantabria, the Los Valles and Saja Nansa communities, as well as a municipality of between 5,000 and 20,000 inhabitants (Reinosa) have already formalized their accession.
The functions of the Program are to help the affiliated entities throughout the process, from the calls to the resolution, with special emphasis on the management of the CoFFEE platform, an integrated information system in which the managers designated by each administration - after training - give an account of the progress of the projects. It will also ensure compliance with the code of good practice and the management duties of the Recovery Plan.
This service is in addition to what is offered by other administrations and also by the Government Delegation itself, which launched an information unit aimed at municipalities.
