The board of directors of the Association of Nautical Clubs has been held at the Royal Nautical Club in Palma.

The High Court of Justice of the Balearic Islands (TSJB) has recognized the transformation of the contracts of port services into concessions and supports the legal arguments of the Real Club Nautico de Palma to extend the period of the concession of its current facilities, as was the case in the marina Formentera Mar, which is a clear amendment to the report of the State Attorney that called into question the right of the Royal Nautical Club of Palma to extend the period of its concessionand paves the way for this non-profit entity, founded in 1948 and recognized among the most important in the world of nautical life, to continue to develop its social and sports work.

The decision of the TSJB is excellent news, as it sets an important legal precedent for the extension of the RCNP, which was paralyzed following the opinion of the State Attorney, to follow its course and one of our most representative clubs to retain its concession.the president of the ACNB, Antoni Estades, who, however, has insisted on the need for national and autonomous port laws, recognize once and for all the uniqueness of the nautical clubs and establish the legal mechanisms for their conservation.

We are the gateway to the sea of our municipalities and represent a management model that has proved effective and useful to society. That entities such as the RCNP and other members of our association have to see their future compromised by legal issues in form, without any practical relevance, is something that should not happen, "has added Stades.

Emerico Fuster, president of the Real Club Náutico de Palma and vice president of the Association of Náutico Clubs of Baleares, has been logically satisfied with the thesis of the High Court of Justice of Baleares, consistent with the legal arguments of the club.

It is clear that the judgment of the Formentera case is a step back and makes us very optimistic, but we must remain cautious. This is part of a rather complex administrative process and we must wait for its final resolution. We have never had any doubt that our title was transformed into a concession, because the APB treats us as such. The opposite would mean that we have been in precarious for almost 20 years, and that is something that is not sustained in any way.
