The Governing Council authorized the implementation of the plan control whiteflies in La Aldea.

THE AGREEMENT WAS SIGNED FOUR MONTHS AGO BETWEEN EMPLOYMENT, AGRICULTURE AND CITY COUNCIL.

The saying goes that it is never too late if happiness is good., and it seems that this is what has happened with the Plan for the Promotion of Employment and Rural Hygiene of La Aldea. This initiative aims to alleviate the situation of serious unemployment and the effect that the whitefly plague has on the municipality's agriculture..

This Plan arose last year due to the serious impact of the whitefly plague on export crops and the domestic market of La Aldea.. Then all the alarms went off., since the only economic engine of the municipality was beginning to suffer.

Given this, Local authorities created a Crisis Commission made up of all social and economic agents, who interviewed with all the administrations. As a result of the meetings, this Plan emerged through which employees will be hired 44 workers.

It was the past 31 March when the collaboration agreement was signed between the Department of Employment, Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fishing and Food and the Town Hall of La Aldea de San Nicolás.

Some technicians and farmers expressed Agroaldea that the delay in the implementation of this Plan has been exaggerated. They agree that excessive bureaucracy becomes the perfect ally of pests and more than helping farmers, the administration with its slow procedure, becomes your enemy.

In addition, Some agreed that the urgency of employment was such due to the situation in which the sector found itself.. Even so, express their satisfaction with the treatment of “urgent”, since if it had not been like that ,The Plan could have materialized within two years.

The Government Council has authorized the Canarian Employment Service to grant a subsidy of 280.341 euros for the implementation of the Plan. For this purpose, six agricultural foremen and thirty-six agricultural laborers will be hired..

The La Aldea City Council will make the necessary human and material resources available.. In addition, is obliged to draft a Municipal Agricultural Waste Collection Ordinance that orders and regulates this pending matter in the municipality..
