      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/6b7627d3-a82e-4c97-8b63-767267f53157_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg" /></p><p>The proposal for a law by the Council of Mallorca on the regulation of vehicle influx on the island of Mallorca has already encountered its first obstacle: the vehicle employers' association <em>rent a car</em>, Baleval. The Balearic Association of Vehicles with and without a driver brings together large, medium and small operators that carry out their activity on the Islands. In a forceful document registered in Parliament on September 17, Baleval has presented 22 amendments to the <a href="https://www.arabalears.cat/parlament/galmes-defensa-limitacio-vehicles-mallorca-parlament-no-tremolara-ma_1_5844479.html" target="_blank">initiative that promises to limit the entry of rental vehicles to Mallorca</a> with the aim of slowing down the <a href="https://www.arabalears.cat/societat/no-assenyalar-turista-pel-col-lapse-illencs-anam-comprar-pa-cotxe_1_5759965.html" target="_blank">circulatory collapse and saturation.</a>Baleval considers that the bill promoted by the executive of Llorenç Galmés restricts access to an economic activity without demonstrating that rental vehicles are the specific and main cause of the problem: "The law is based on an attribution of singular responsibility to the vehicle rental sector that does not appear sufficiently accredited in the legislative file". Therefore, if this responsibility is not accredited, they consider that the law may result in being arbitrary or discriminatory. They believe that the bill does not incorporate a sufficient analysis of less restrictive regulatory alternatives nor does it accredit why the specific limitation of rental vehicles is the most appropriate measure. The employers' association maintains that limiting fleets and distributing vehicle quotas is an "intense intervention" in the market that requires solid data, a detailed justification, and the study of less restrictive alternatives.</p>]]></description>
