The Balearic Islands Government Council has approved the first regional regulation comprehensively governing taxi and ride-hailing services (VTCs) in the Balearic Islands, twelve years after the enactment of Law 4/2014 of June 20, on land transport and sustainable mobility in the Balearic Islands, which this decree implements. As explained by the Minister of Housing, Territory, and Mobility, José Luis Mateo, at the press conference following the Government Council meeting, no new licenses may be granted when traffic congestion levels or certain air quality thresholds are exceeded. He noted that temporary licenses may be granted exceptionally when justified by mobility needs and following a report. The regulation establishes, for the first time, uniform, objective, and updated criteria for granting or denying new licenses and authorizations, based on the level of traffic congestion and air quality levels, while also aiming to guarantee the mobility of residents and visitors to the Islands. These objective criteria, based on the general interest, will allow for the regulation of the number of taxi and ride-hailing licenses in the islands' limited and protected territory. The text aims to provide legal certainty, unify criteria, and equip the competent authorities with the tools to regulate the sector according to parameters of environmental sustainability, transport management, protection of natural areas, and the general interest. The Decree consists of 63 articles distributed across three titles—Title I, Common Provisions; Title II, Taxi Services; and Title III, Ride-hailing Services—five additional provisions, four transitional provisions, one repealing provision, and one final provision.
