THE COSTA BLANCA PROPERTY GUIDE An introduction Contents: Monthly Agent Spotlight: Girasol Homes Elite Property Services Our Areas explained Residential Sales Magazine: Buying Property in Spain Things to Avoid Sun Lawyers Spanish Wills Why is airline food so bad Home Finance help is at hand Investing with safety in mind Focus on USA Election 2016 The Antahkarana Bridge What your desk says about you Focus on Brexit The Costa Blanca Property & Business Guide Call now for details of our December Introductory Discount Santa Pola We welcome all new readers and clients of our new publication The Costa Blanca Property Guide (South) designed to help our readers everyone involved in the sale and marketing of properties, businesses and long term rentals and just as importantly businesses and services that are property-related. As in our sister paper The Tenerife Property & Business Guide we have tried to simplify the display of information. Firstly, we have created three distinct areas: Los Montesinos Rojales Quesada La Marina Guardamar del Segura La Mata Greater Torrevieja includes: La Mata, Torrevieja, La Zenia, Cabo Roig, Dehesa de Campoamor, San Miguel de Salinas, Villamartin, Pilar de Campoverde, Los Dolses, La Fuente, Los Montesinos and Blue Lagoon. Santa Pola/Guardamar del Segura includes: Gran Alacant, Quesada, Rojales, and La Marina. Pilar and Torre de la Horadada and Mil Palmeras Our Areas are most useful to property buyers, who quite often have a good idea where they would like to buy their home in the sun. Their next consideration is how much they would like to spend. We have included in this issue many, what we call Lineage entries, all sorted, first by Area, then, simply, by Price Band, in price descending order (we apply the same principles in our website: com). Area 1: Greater Torrevieja and its various locations: Torrevieja With a population in the region of 108,000, Torrevieja, on the coast, is, for many of us, where our love affair with Spain began. The city lies 48 kilometers from Alicante and was originally a fishing village with a side industry of salt harvesting from the two great salt lakes nearby. It has a wonderful climate, with over 300 days of sunshine each year. Torrevieja also has many beaches including Los Locos, Los Naufragos, La Mata and Playa del Acequion, each with its own unique San Miguel de Salinas Pila de Campoverde Pilar de la Horadada Villamartín Los Dolses La Zenia Cabo Roig Dehesa de Campoamor Mil Palmeras Torrevieja Torre de la Horadada character. The town has developed into a multi cultural city with many nationalities calling it home, and over a thousand bars and restaurants to choose from. The sea front now includes a marina and a wonderful long promenade which is hugely popular with locals and visitors alike. There are many water sports on offer including Jet Ski hire, plus a regular boat excursion to Tabarca Island - about 30 minutes off the coast. The Museum of Sea and Salt is located on the sea front and shows the history of Torrevieja through the ages. Managed by the Sea and Salt Museum and located in the harbour is the Albatross III a floating museum which once guarded the waters outside the city. This is a very interesting and unusual museum and a novel way to display historical memorabilia.

4 4 Residential Property Sales November Issue 1 The Costa Blanca Property & Business Guide Boat trips Each evening beside the Torrevieja promenade the market stalls open to sell their wares to the hundreds of visitors, with street traders offering anything from real designer bags and Punta Prima Beach handcrafts, clothing, vegetables and all sorts of souvenirs in a relaxed atmosphere. In April and October Torrevieja celebrates the Ruta de la Tapas, which involves more than 50 golf, football, tennis, padel, yoga and a vast number of gyms offering many different types of keep-fit classes. La Mata La Mata has really become flamingos that spend 10 months of the year here but emigrate to warmer climes from December to February. It is a wonderful site watching them take off for their winter holiday! Orihuela Costa A grouping of urbanisations southwest of Torrevieja making a lovely seaside/ golfing area (although nearly 20kilometres from the actual town of Orihuela!). Collectively, Orihuela Costa is the perfect location for anyone looking for a beach family holiday, with its 16 kilometres of sandy beaches and also a great choice for golfing holidays; in fact Orihuela Costa is well equipped for all needs, with lots of amenities, facilities and leisure attractions, and comprises the following locations: and out to sea - just like it did all those years ago. The scenery around Cabo Roig, as you would expect with a piece of land jutting out into the sea, is dominated by the Mediterranean. The Cabo Roig tower is a must visit site, if only for the views over the bay area all the way to La Manga. It s also an access point to the La Zenia/Cabo Roig cliff walk, which will take 20 minutes to reach La Zenia along a cliff walkway. Fishing is hugely popular with the locals, surf casting from the beach and via boats, with skippers supplied, which The Torrevieja Submarine bustling, colourful strip of shops, restaurants and bars, with people of all ages enjoying the nightlife, a stone s throw from the beach. Playa Flamenca A popular, quiet resort lying close to its very lively big brother, Torrevieja, and home to many lovely sandy beaches, golf courses and other recreational facilities such as water parks, bowling greens, go-carting and tennis. La Zenia La Zenia is a coastal location just 10 km from Torrevieja with a variety watches to hand-made arts and crafts.tourism is now one of the biggest industries and the city has grown in response to this. Torrevieja celebrates many religious festivals and holy days with parades and events and there is a network of good bus connections within Sports Centre, Torrevieja the Costa Blanca from Cartagena to Alicante. Buses are frequent and inexpensive out to La Zenia too. The Friday market which is centred around the bus station is one of the biggest markets in the region where you can buy leather goods, bars and restaurants, all providing regular and gourmet tapas (approx 2.50 for a tapa and a glass of wine). Entrance is free and participants are given a free map of the restaurants and what tapas they are offering. It s great fun and a fabulous way to discover new restaurants, and make new friends. There are several language schools in Torrevieja so there is no excuse not to learn a little Spanish while you re in town! There is also a wide choice of sports available in Torrevieja including a suburb of Torrevieja with developments over recent years making it almost part of the city. The Town Council, very wisely, banned the building of high rise buildings and so it retains its individual charm and Spanish identity, also enjoying one of the finest beaches on the Costa Blanca. Close to the salt lakes of Torrevieja, La Mata enjoys the health benefits associated with these, and the most wonderful sunsets can be enjoyed with deep red skies set behind palm trees and gently lapping water. The nature park - Park Natural de La Mata - is an official Spanish Nature reserve. The park is surrounded by the two pink salt lakes known as Salinas de la Mata which add to the healthy sensations of time spent here. The Visitor Centre has much information about the local flora and fauna and the park attracts a wide variety of birds, especially the flocks of pink-tinged Cabo Roig Ever popular with Spanish holiday-makers since the 1970 s but the Spanish property boom of the late 90 s and early 2000 s irreversibly changed the village with an influx of new money and a new population. The Torre Vigia (watch tower), stands sentinel over the Mediterranean as part of a network of similar towers built along the Spanish coast to protect against Berber pirate raids from North Africa in the 16th/17th centuries. These days the Torre Vigia is a lot more peaceful and now forms part of the Cabo Roig La Bahia Restaurant, enjoying views over the marina Torrevieja Harbour at night can be organised for sea fishing trips, parties, romantic evenings, corporate events and so on. Many people from Campoamor far afield have heard of the Cabo Roig strip, a of sporting activities, cultural events, festivals and shopping especially the recently-opened Zenia Boulevard, the huge American-style shopping Mall with a Mediterranean feel.

On a Saturday morning there is the large outdoor market just behind Zenia Boulevard, this is a street market with traders of fruit, vegetables, leather goods, table cloths, clothing, shoes, plants, pastries and myriad other items that you never knew you needed! Punta Prima The local beaches here have been awarded innumerable European Blue Flags and range from natural sand dunes to long stretches of golden, sandy beaches. Punta Prima is really an urbanisation, rather than a town, made up of apartment blocks, townhouses and villas, and is situated 5 kilometres to the south west of Torrevieja. Campoamor A lovely part of the Costa Blanca, with the best elements of any Spanish location - beautiful beaches, great walks and not far away from bars and restaurants, shops and to the city of Torrevieja. Campoamor Blue Flag beach is a short drive away where and you can park right next to the beach and enjoy excellent Spanish cuisine at the various restaurants or simple, delicious snacks at a chiringuita.

Around the course is a wide variety of up-market property: from apartments and townhouses, to villas. There is a very nice walk along the canal which weaves its way from Campoamor to Las Ramblas Golf Club, and enjoyed by joggers, walkers and cyclists. The La Fuente Commercial Centre is the main shopping hub with a wide array of shopping and restaurants from Italy, Spain, Ireland, Mexico and France. You could choose a different restaurant every night without leaving this Centre. Villamartin One of the area s longest established suburbs - famous for its world class golf course - and popular with tourists all year round. With a Cabo Roig Marina large population of full time residents of many nationalities, this means that the shops, bars and restaurants are full of life no matter the season. The hub of Villamartin is the square itself, known locally as Villamartin Plaza - a beautifullydesigned commercial complex with mosaictiled benches, mature palm trees and a resident population of African Ring Neck parrots. Villamartin Plaza was one of the first purpose-built leisure areas in Orihuela Costa. Its position, close to Villamartin Golf Course and millionaires row mansions makes it the place to go. La Zenia Beach Los Dolses A small Commercial Centre surrounded by nice resorts and complexes can be found midway between La Zenia and Villamartin. With a wide choice of supermarkets, banks, a school, as well as chemists, a garden centre and a computer store there is no need to travel far for any of your needs. In addition there is a wide variety of bars, cafes and restaurants, the new La Zenia Boulevard Centre is just a few minutes away. The Orihuela Costa enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate: cool sea breezes in summer and protection by surrounding mountains against the cold North winds in winter. The area averages nearly 3,000 hours of sunshine each year and the average temperature easily exceeds 20 degrees. In 1986 the World Health Organisation recommended the climate of the area as one of the most equable in the world - neither too hot in the summer nor too cold in the winter.

10 10 Residential Property Sales November Issue 1 The Costa Blanca Property & Business Guide The South area Torre de la Horadada A small seaside town with a population of around 3,000 close to Pilar de la Horadada in South Costa Blanca. About an hour s drive from Alicante airport and 15 minutes from San Javier (Murcia) Airport this is a lovely place to live: invest or spend time in. The Torre in the name of the town refers to the picturesque 15th century watchtower which stands at its entrance. The tower was originally built to protect the town and the coast from marauding pirates who frequented these waters. Coincidently the Guardia Civil station is adjacent to the watchtower now. Water sports feature strongly in Torre with scuba diving being very popular due to the interesting rock formations and sea life under the calm blue waters of the Mediterranean. In August there is an influx of Spanish holidaymakers leaving the stifling heat of Madrid and other cities to enjoy the balmy weather and waters of Torre amongst other favoured spots. The increase in expats choosing to make it their permanent home has seen the development of modern infrastructure and now the town has supermarkets, banks, pharmacies, a medical centre and retail outlets. There are many new developments sprouting up as Spain battles its way out of the terrible crash of We are well on the way to recovery as can be seen by the towering cranes which once again form part of the Costa Blanca skyline. With two modern plazas surrounded by bars and cafes Torre has been designed and planned to retain its character and maintain that feeling of a local small village. In 2011 the Lo Monte complex was built that incorporated hotel style accommodation, 3 swimming pools, a gym and a spa. Its bars and restaurants provide traditional Spanish dishes as well as international cuisine. There are lovely coastal walks starting in Torre, and there is also the wellknown Rio Seco (Dry River) at Pinar de Campoverde, a couple of kms outside of town where you can spend an hour walking along a dried river bed marvelling at the wondrous formations that were once under the water as you take in the surrounding greenery of the orange and lemon groves and pine forests. From Campoverde the river bed traces its way to the sea at Mil Palmeras. This is an area frequented by avid hikers due to the unusual scenery but you don t have to be a regular walker to do this walk, it is suitable for beginners too. Pilar de La Horadada Torre de La Horadada Pilar de la Horadada A charming little town with winding streets that lies about 10 minutes south of Cabo Roig. It is a small, very Spanish town with a lively and interesting market on Fridays. The local golden beaches of Torre de la Horadada are a 2 minute drive away and stretch 5 km along the coast with beautiful calm waters and plenty of choice in water sports. These beaches have been awarded the Blue Flag Award the top award for cleanliness and safety. Pilar lies between Valencia and Murcia and has endured many battles down the ages. It has some lovely historical buildings including a watch tower situated in the beach area of Torre de la Horadada, built in the 15th century. The lovely church in the town plaza Nuestra Senora del Pilar (Our lady of Pilar) replaced an older one but the original Bell Tower remains along with many religious artefacts and religious paintings by local artists. Pilar, like other Spanish towns, has many fiestas and festivals throughout the year, the month of October seems to be a continuous celebration of the Virgin Mary and the highlight is the floral tributes on 11th October. Pilar is home of the Lo Romero golf course, a fine challenge, and suitable for all standards of golfer. Mil Palmeras Translated, the title means 1,000 Palms, and that is indeed what it has alongside a length, soft sandy beach with many beach bars offering cool drinks, burgers, salad and chips to the hungry holidaymakers. This is a small resort set on the coast just off the N332 between Cabo Roig and Pilar de la Horadada, ten minutes drive from San Javier airport. It is like a secret hideaway that you will wish you had discovered sooner, with typical winding narrow Spanishstyle streets - a pretty picturesque place with wonderful sea views from the roads and walkways that rise above the beach Mil Palmeras Beach and the clear clean waters of the Mediterranean Sea. It is a quiet place during the winter months but the winter here is short, due to over 300 days of sunshine each year on the Costa Blanca. Mil Palmeras really comes to life when the good weather comes in. A family resort, the night life is relaxed with most of the action happening in the lovely plaza by the white church which is surrounded by a choice of places to eat and drink. Residents from the busier Cabo Roig, La Zenia and further afield visit here to stroll about, take in the views and enjoy a quieter pace of life.

However, for the prospective purchaser, the lack of knowledge and understanding of the laws and regulations in a foreign country can make the whole idea very daunting indeed. Spanish Laws on Inheritance state that, on your death, your estate will be shared among your heirs according to the rules of your country of origin. Most European countries Laws of Inheritance - with the exception of the UK - state that children have an automatic right to a part of your estate on your death, even if they are not expressly mentioned in your Will. In Spain your children will automatically receive a share of your Spanish assets. Of course, if they do not wish to claim their legal share of their Spanish inheritance, they can renounce their right at a Spanish Notary and the estate will then be shared among whomever else you may have designated in your Will (this is known in Spain as the Legitime - ie that portion of inheritance reserved by Law for your spouse and children, or, failing these, to other descendant or ascendant relations). British property owners should also note that although Spanish Law states that British Law applies in the event of your death, British Law also states that it is the Law in the country where the asset is situated (eg Spain) which determines your legal heirs. To speed up the process of distributing your assets after death it is highly recommended that you execute a proper Spanish Will. - This can be arranged very easily and once you have decided just what you would like to happen, all that is then required is a quick visit to a Notary Public to authenticate it (a small Fee is payable, but this will generally be included in your agent s charge). - If you have property in more than one country, it is wise to have a Will in each country in order to avoid complicated translations, certificates and other procedures for your family after your death. We feel that it is generally simpler to keep your Spanish estate separate from any other assets and to rely on a local professional to handle the formalities.you can also make a Secret Will and have the envelope sealed and also notarized (which is also registered in Madrid). - Should someone in your family die without, to your knowledge, leaving a Will, you should first check with the Registro Central de Actos de Última Voluntad where you can find out if there is one, and, if there is more than one, which was the most recent (valid) one, the name of the Notary, and the office in Spain (or its protectorates) where it is held. - Handwritten Wills are not advisable as they must be certified as being authentic before they can be executed. Spanish Inheritance Tax accrues six months after death and, after this date, penalties are incurred (although there are many rebates and Inheritance Tax is almost non existent in Spain). - Unlike in Britain, there is no exemption from Inheritance Tax on the transfer of assets between husband and wife, so a tax form must be completed and any taxes paid (in Spain it is the heir who is taxed and not the estate), with tax being calculated on the relationship of the heir to the deceased, the amount of the inheritance he/she is to receive and existing financial position. - All assets inherited will be taxed bank accounts, property, cars, and shares etc. Property will usually be valued at the valor catastral (the value as calculated by the Town Hall ie rateable value). - A joint bank account will normally be frozen on the death of one of the account holders, although the bank will usually allow direct debits for services to continue to be paid out of the account. - For a car to be sold following the death of the owner it is necessary for it to be detailed in the inheritance declaration and tax to be paid. Spain, like many other countries, applies the system of forced heirship, although British nationals are exempt from this requirement when making

38 38 Residential Property Sales November Issue 1 The Costa Blanca Property & Business Guide a Will in Spain (they are dealt with under the Personal Law - provision 9 of the Civil Code). As a general rule, if you make a Spanish Will which conflicts with your own national inheritance laws it will be deemed null and void. It is therefore very important to ensure that your Spanish Will does not conflict with any other Will drawn up in another country. If you are a legal heir, the following steps need to be followed if you wish to transfer assets you have inherited into your own name: - If the deceased has left a Will in Spain: you will only have to finalise the estate probate before a Spanish Notary. This should be a quick process - unless there is a disagreement between the heirs after which you can have the Deeds registered in the Land Registry as evidence of transfer of title. - If the deceased has left a Will in his/her country of origin but not in Spain: this Will must be validated in Spain. In order to do that, the Notary Public who is to sign the Inheritance Deeds will require you to present some very specific paperwork. - If the person dies ab-intestato (intestate), that is, he/she has left no Will in his/her country nor in Spain: the estate will be dealt with in Spain before a Notary Public and, again, some very specific paperwork may need to be obtained. (eg Declaration of Heirs). Please note that the above points apply if there is no disagreement between the heirs (if there is more than one heir). If the heirs have not reached an agreement with regard to the estate and the inheritance, the case will need to be heard by a Spanish Judge who will decide what is to happen following the deceased s Will and according to Spanish Estate Law. The Scope of the Inheritors: Who are entitled to inherit the deceased s property in Spain and in what proportions must it be distributed?: a) If the deceased died leaving a valid Will: the persons who inherit his property will be: Compulsory heirs: Spanish Laws of Succession set out obligatory heirs, who shall inherit at least one third of the deceased s assets. This portion is called la legítima. The obligatory heirs are: - The children (biological and adopted children) and his issue. - The parents (when the deceased has no descendants). - The surviving spouse must receive the usufruct (the right to enjoy an asset, the property of which is vested in another person, and to draw from this all benefits which it may produce, provided that it is being done without altering the substance of the asset) either over one third of the estate, in the case of the deceased leaving children, or over half the estate, when the deceased had no descendants, while his parents were still alive. Voluntary heirs: The testator may leave part of his assets to any persons of his choice. Beneficiaries may inherit those assets exceeding one third of the estate named as la legítima. The surviving spouse shall receive the usufruct over a third of the assets, or over half of the estate, when the deceased died without issue while his parents were still alive. If there are no compulsory heirs, voluntary heirs may inherit all the deceased s assets. Along with Compulsory and Voluntary heirs, legatees (those who have received a Legacy) can inherit specific assets the testator may have gifted to them. b) If the deceased died intestate: If the deceased dies leaving no will, the Spanish Law of Succession determines who will inherit. The deceased is considered to have died intestate in the following cases: - When there appear to be assets which have not been included in the deceased s Will, these assets shall be distributed in the manner that Spanish Law provides for intestacy. - When the heirs do not accept the Will, or it is not accepted within the period as legally required. - When the inheritor is incapable of inheriting. - When the Will has been destroyed. - When the Will does not include all obligatory heirs, or includes someone considered a compulsory heir when he turns out not to be. - When the Will is null and void. The Spanish Law of Succession sets out the following hierarchy of inheritors in the case of intestacy: - Descendants (children): The deceased s issue and their descendants will inherit in the first place. Either legitimate, illegitimate or individual adopted children have the same rights of succession. - Ascendants (parents): Will inherit when the testator (deceased) dies without leaving issue, and will inherit in equal parts. - The Spouse will inherit if the deceased has neither issue nor ascendants. - Collateral family: If the deceased had neither descendants, ascendants, or spouse, his brothers and/or sisters will inherit equal parts of the estate. Nephews/nieces will inherit the portion that would have corresponded to the brother/sister deceased (brother/sister of the testator and father/ mother of the nephews/ nieces who shall inherit). - Cousins will inherit when there are none of above-mentioned. The Spanish Government will inherit when there exist none of the individuals above-mentioned. Share of the inheritors in succession: - If the deceased was married under the Community Property Marital Regime, which is the general regime for matrimonial property in Spain (though some Spanish regions such as Catalonia, Basque Country, etc. differ from this regime), half of the deceased s property does not form part of the estate, but continues to belong to the surviving spouse. The other half of the estate, less charges, must be divided intro three equal parts: - The surviving issue will inherit at least one third of the assets, which is called la legítima. - One third of the assets must also be left to the children, but the testator may decide how this is to be divided (the surviving spouse shall receive the usufruct of this third of the assets, and the inheritors cannot dispose of this freely until the surviving parent dies). - the deceased may gift the final third of his assets to anyone he pleases. When the deceased died without descendants, the surviving ascendants inherit one third of the estate, if there is a surviving spouse, and half of the estate, if he has no surviving spouse. When there are neither children nor ascendants, the surviving spouse shall inherit the usufruct of two thirds of the estate. Disinheritance: Disinheritance is the act of depriving an obligatory heir of the property that would have otherwise been distributed to that person under Spanish Law of Succession. Disinheritance can only be made by leaving a valid will. In general terms, the testator may disinherit an obligatory heir on the following grounds: - When the testator s parents had deserted, prostituted or corrupted their children. - For using any act of violence or coercion to hinder a testator from making, modifying or hiding the Will. - If the inheritor had used any act of violence or coercion to force a testator to make or modify his Will. - An heir may be disinherited were he condemned for having attempted to take away the life of either the testator, his spouse, descendants or ascendants. Specific reasons to disinherit his descendants could be the following: - If the descendants had refused sustenance to their parents, having the means to afford it - When having maltreated physically, or seriously insulted the testator. Specific reasons to disinherit the testator s parents are as follows: - To have been deprived of the paternal authority of the legitimate father or mother upon the testator child, based on the non-fulfilment of the duties involved in paternal authority. - Having refused to provide food and nourishment to their child. Specific reasons to disinherit the spouse can be the following: - To have refused sustenance to his/her child or the spouse, having the means to afford it. - If the spouse had attempted to take away the life of either parent, when there is no later reconciliation. If the disinherited legitimate heir challenges or disputes the disinheritance alleging the non-existence of the reason, evidence that such cause did exist rests with the remaining heirs. The child and descendants of the disinherited person shall retain their rights as obligatory heirs. The reconciliation of the testator with the legitimate heir who caused the disinheritance, cancels the disinheritance. Acceptance or repudiation of an inheritance: - Acceptance is a declaration of the heir s intention to inherit all rights and obligations that attached to the deceased. He may accept via a public or a private document, or can accept tacitly by taking ownership of the assets he was bequeathed. - The heir may accept the inheritance in profit of inventory a beneficio de inventario, which means that the heir will only pay the deceased s obligations up to the limit of the value of the assets contained in the Will. Otherwise they shall pay the total amount of debt using their personal property. It is advisable that heirs accept in profit of inventory when it is uncertain as to the estate s ability to pay any debts incurred. Acceptance in profit of inventory can be made before a notary, a judge or before a consular agent, in the event of the heir being in his own country of origin. - The heir may renounce the inheritance via a public deed before a notary or a judge. If the heir repudiates his inheritance to the prejudice of the deceased s creditors, these will be entitled to request authority from the judge that they be allowed to accept the inheritance in the name and in lieu of the repudiating party, for the sole purpose of recovering their debt on the deceased s estate. After clearing their debt, any balance shall be shared among the rest of the beneficiaries. - Acceptance or repudiation of an inheritance must be declared within 30 days of date of death.

40 40 The CBPG Magazine November Issue 1 The Costa Blanca Property & Business Guide A Guide to Buying Property in Spain The realisation of a lifelong ambition to own a property overseas is often far easier to achieve than most people realise. However, for the prospective purchaser, the lack of knowledge and understanding of the laws and regulations in a foreign country can make the whole idea very daunting indeed. The Costa Blanca is a wonderful area for both residents and visitors and its popularity continues to grow as the ideal place to own a holiday or retirement home. Customs and procedures are very different from those in the United Kingdom and there are many, many advisers happy and willing to give advice to people who are perhaps thinking of making one of the biggest decisions of their lives. These advisers can be found in bars and around the swimming pool and it s amazing how the atmosphere gives these people an aura of credibility - which is not always deserved! This guide is aimed at helping the prospective purchaser to understand a little more about the process here and perhaps relieve some of the doubts about buying a property in Tenerife. The Estate Agent The work of a good Estate Agent in the Costa Blanca is far more comprehensive than that of his counterpart in the U.K. and mainland Europe. The importance of the professionalism and the range of services offered by the Agent therefore cannot be over-emphasised. Once you have chosen the right Estate Agent here, and after satisfying yourself as to his experience and knowledge of the property market, he will begin to help you to find a suitable property. The agent will show you, after establishing your exact requirements, a good selection of properties advising as to the best areas to invest in, comparing prices and the merits of each location. Proper Legal Advice Often, when first-time buyers find their ideal holiday home they are full of excitement and eager to become the new owner. In their euphoria they often throw caution to the wind, instead of proceeding with great care. All prospective purchasers should ask themselves if they would purchase a property in the U.K. without the assistance of a Solicitor. If the answer is no then why should they purchase in a foreign country where the language and laws are different, without even taking professional legal advice? Most reputable agents employ the services of an English-speaking Spanish lawyer to ensure peace of mind for all parties to the transaction even the agent s! Alternatively people can use a lawyer of their own choice. The Purchase (or Pre-Sale) Contract After payment of the deposit, a purchase contract will be prepared and will contain details of the vendor (seller) and the purchaser, the purchase price and method and timescale of payment. It will also confirm that the Escritura de Compraventa (Title Deed) is in the name of the vendor and can be transferred to the purchaser on completion of the sale. The contract will normally set out stipulations regarding penalties for non-fulfilment. Legal Procedures on Buying All property sales and purchases in Spain must be registered in a local Land Registry and the title deed (escritura) must be prepared by a public official, called a Notary. Both the seller and the buyer then sign this deed in the Notary s presence when payment is made. The Notary is responsible for ensuring that the conveyance deed is drawn up correctly, fully describes the property and that the purchase price, or an agreed proportion of it, has been paid to the vendor in the appropriate currency. They witness the signing of the deed and collect fees and taxes. The deed is then sent to the Land Registry where the name of the new legal owner is registered. It can take some time before the title deed comes back from the Land Registry and in the interim an authorised copy is given to the purchasers. Fees and Taxes There are two fees and two taxes payable on all transfers of Spanish properties. The Notary is entitled to a fee for preparing the escitura and there is a further fee for registering the property in the new owner s name(s). The first tax is a combination of a Document tax (0.65%), and Transfer tax - currently 5% of the official value if you are purchasing a new property, or 6.5% if you are purchasing a resale property. The second tax is the Plus Valia - an annual tax based on the increased value of the property, which is levied at an official rate on the assessed annual increase in value since the previous sale. There are many factors which enter into the calculations of the total fees and taxes, but as a general rule of thumb, if you allow around 10% of the purchase price you will not be far out. Finally, on the day fixed for completion, your agent and/or your lawyer will accompany you to the Notary to sign the title deed, arranging at that time to make the final payment to the vendor who will simultaneously pass over possession of the property to you, handing you the keys. At this stage the sale is completed. Immediately after completion, the Notary will fax details of the title deed to the local Land Registry to inform them of the identity of the new owner to prevent the property being sold twice. In this way the Notary and the Land Registry act together to protect and guarantee your interests. Once the relevant taxes are paid, you (or your Estate Agent, or Lawyer) will be able to collect the original title deed submitted to the Land Register for registration of your title. Identification Number (NIE) Any person wishing to purchase a property or have fiscal representation in Spain must obtain a certified identification number and appoint a qualified fiscal representative who is resident in Spain to deal with his tax affairs. Tax Retention There is a 3% Tax Retention on the sale of a property when the vendor is Non- Resident for Tax purposes. Under current legislation, it is necessary for this 3% of the declared purchase price of the property to be retained by the purchaser, or his representative, and for this money to be paid to the Hacienda (Spanish Inland Revenue) within 30 days of signing for the deeds. This is payable whenever the vendor is a non-resident of Spain to ensure that any taxes he may owe to the Revenue are paid before he/ she disappears into the sunset! The responsibility for ensuring that the money is retained and paid to the Hacienda is placed squarely on the shoulders of the purchaser and it is then up to the vendor to instruct his fiscal representative to claim the money back if tax is not due. Your lawyer or Estate Agent will ensure that this is done for you. If the vendor is a resident (ie has Residencia in Spain) this retention is not required, as the vendor would be expected to be making his own personal annual Tax Returns. Four Common Mistakes Buyers Make Buying a home in Spain is both an exciting and frightening experience, and for most people, it will be the first time they will have bought a property abroad. Don t let the excitement or the fear trip you up! In this article we explain some common mistakes new buyers make and tips to avoid them. 1. Poor advice Asking for advice clearly makes sense but try not to take advice from one source only - unless you re happy that the advice that you re being given is independent, or at least, as independent as can be - and hopefully from a knowledgeable person. It s better to try to make your own decisions about what and where to buy, but do seek information and advice from a variety of sources. Listening to people in the local bar is one of the biggest mistakes that buyers can make. Yes, ask for opinions and recommendations - but certainly don t take the word of local know-it-alls for granted -find other, more reliable avenues for obtaining your information as well. Look on the Internet, ask other estate agents...any agent worth dealing with will give you 5 minutes of their time to let you know what they think. 2. Not using a lawyer You re buying a property in a foreign country, where everything is written in a foreign language and the process of buying property is quite different to that in your own country. You really should choose a registered, legal representative. Use a lawyer, preferably one that speaks your own language. 3. Not acting quickly enough Again, this doesn t mean that you need to just jump into buying the first property that you see - unless of course it s exactly what you want - but once you re pretty much decided on what you re going to buy and you ve done your research on the area, complex and property as best as you can, then actually make a move on the property. Make an offer. You might get rejected. But make a move. Don t miss out on buying a property by not acting quickly enough, use your agent to help you find some middle ground between you and the vendor... and in a market that is warming up, you may need to be quicker than you think. 4. Thinking that getting a mortgage is as easy as in your home country Here in Spain the mortgage application system can be very different to your home country - it s certainly very different to the way it s done in the UK. Think things through, maybe speak with a couple of different banks to see how their requirements and offers vary but try not to be rushed. Speak with your estate agent, lawyer or mortgage broker for advice on which bank might be best given your own circumstances.

The European Union has introduced a new Regulation (650/2012) which came into force on 17th August 2015 and applies to all Spanish Wills for individuals who die after that date. This new law was introduced to harmonise the administration of the Wills of European citizens. The primary intention of the new law is to avoid the situation whereby different and potentially conflicting laws are applied to an individual s Will(s) in different European countries that he or she might hold assets. Prior to the introduction of this new law, where a foreigner made a Will in Spain, the Spanish authorities would not actually apply Spanish law upon death. Instead, they would apply the law of the individual s relevant country of nationality (e.g. England, Scotland, Ireland etc) as required by Article 9 of the Spanish Civil Code. So what has now changed? Well, in a nutshell, individuals are now required to expressly state in their Wills that they wish for their law of nationality to apply. If they fail to do so, then any Wills that they leave in any European Union country must be administered under the law of the country of where the individual was habitually resident at the date of death. For example, if an individual is English and leaves separate Wills governing his assets in England and in Spain, and if those Wills do not specify which country s laws are to apply, then the question will be where the individual was habitually resident at the date of death. If that was in England, then English law must be applied. However, if the individual was resident in Spain, then Spanish law must apply. For anybody who spends any considerable amount of time in Spain or who envisages spending more time in Spain in the future, this could have serious implications for their Will(s). If Spanish law ends up being applied, this can have a rather unexpected outcome, namely that the deceased s assets must be divided between certain family members in fixed shares. Such rules of division override anything to the contrary written in the Will. In most cases, it is impossible to circumvent those rules. For certainty and peace of mind, foreigners resident in Spain or who spend a considerable amount of time in Spain are strongly advised to now review or update their Wills to ensure that their assets will be left in accordance with their wishes and not in accordance with the fixed government rules.

42 42 The CBPG Magazine November Issue 1 The Costa Blanca Property & Business Guide WHY IS AIRLINE FOOD SO BAD? The answer lies in how aeroplanes are designed. By Ria Misra So, you just peeled back the plastic off a freshly-delivered tray right off your airplane s trolley cart and the mess looking back at you is a grim one. The fault may not lie with the chef, though, but in the plane s design. Everything is reheated The very nature of air travel, as well as how the plane is built and how it adjusts to high altitudes, makes food preparation fundamentally more difficult. There are some technical limitations to being high in the air that make it far simpler to just reheat premade food, rather than attempt to actually cook from scratch particularly in the pressurised air of the plane s cabin. Although planes routinely cruise at altitudes of around 40,000 feet, the pressure of the cabin is brought back down to more comfortable altitudes of between six and nine thousand feet above sea level. Even those lowered altitudes, though, are still enough to slow down cook times considerably. It s actually very hard to cook at those altitudes, explains John Hansman, who directs MIT s International Center for Air Transportation. They generally are just doing reheating. It s not just the difficulties of cooking, though. Even the food service encourages heat-andserve style meals. The preference in hot airline meals is for pre-cut, reheated meats, usually swimming in sauce, like boeuf bourguignon. In part, the sauce works to counteract the dryness of the pressurised air cabin. But both the sauce and the slow reheat time also suit today s blunt-edged airline cutlery sets, which have either no knife or an unsharpened one. Because it s been so overcooked, you can cut it with a fork. Airlines have discovered that, if you also pre-cut the meat, you practically don t need a knife, says Guillaume de Syon, a professor at Albright College in the US state of Pennsylvania who studies the history of technology, particularly aviation. Because it s been so overcooked, you can cut it with a fork. Perhaps the biggest consideration, though, is simply available space. More passengers, bigger planes, less attention to individual meals Today s passenger planes are designed to carry well over 300 hundred passengers, all of whom expect to be fed on roughly the same schedule. Before the popularisation of the jet in the 1960s, though, de Syon notes that passenger manifests were small, usually fewer than 50 people, giving flight attendants time to devote attention to each passenger s meal service. Some of those early hot options would seem unrecognisably lavish to today s travellers, with menus that featured cooked-to-order omelettes, or mobile carving stations wheeled from seat-to-seat by an attendant. With hundreds to serve instead of dozens, though, today s flight attendants simply no longer have the time to prep individual trays. Instead, the trays need to arrive ready to go. The large array of food options on offer to airplane passengers in the 60s and 70s simply doesn t exist in most air travel anymore. But, that doesn t mean the menu has completely disappeared. It s just been replaced by menus of another sort. The trays need to arrive ready to go. In the last decade, the number of entertainment options aboard the average aeroplane have exploded and the design of the seats and cabin have changed to reflect this. Designed for your entertainment not your food Passengers are offered music, often wi-fi, and, most importantly, a large menu of films and TV options served up on demand on personalised screens installed in their seat, instead of a single large screen up front. The installation of personalised screens has taken a lot of focus away from the food service, allowing airlines to cut back on food expenses as they spend more money on entertainment. What are TV dinners about after all? asks de Syon. There s a very definite shift in trying to find a way to keep the passengers busy. Until the 90s, you only had a choice of one movie. That was it. What they found after the 90s was that if you had more to choose from, then passengers are happier and more patient. It shows how far technology has come since the beginning of commercial air travel. But those same shifts during the early years that first brought the hot airline meal into prominence could ultimately be what kills it. How could new planes affect your next in-flight meal? In the earliest days of air travel, planes lacked the kinds of powerful engines that could generate enough spare electrical power to heat food. This meant passengers were largely restricted to eating boxed lunches of whatever could be easily packed from the ground, usually sandwiches or cold snacks. As planes got both bigger and more powerful, airlines began to include functional kitchens in their plane design, clearing the way for the hot meals we see today to be served. Offering more and better food initially gave airlines a way of distinguishing themselves from their competitors. Today, though, ticket cost is the primary measure of competition and cutting out a meal or two can either add to the airline s bottom line, or give it a little extra room to undercut a competitor s price. Profits [could be] gained from chopping the kitchen out of the plane almost entirely. Nowadays airlines are breaking out the expenses and leaving it up to consumers to choose what they want, said Bob van der Linden, who is the air transportation curator at the National Air & Space Museum. It s the market. This is pure economics. After deregulation in 78, airlines are free to compete anyway that they want and they found the best way to compete is low prices. But even more valuable than saving the cost of all those half-eaten meal trays could be the profits gained from chopping the kitchen out of the plane almost entirely popping in extra seats to be sold. Because of the interest in reducing cost, many airlines have tried to put more seats on aeroplanes. That s part of the reason you see some airlines not having any hot service, because it reduces the size of the galley and that gives room for seats, noted Hansman. Even the size of the tray tables themselves, he says, are shrinking as airlines attempt to maximise every inch of onboard space. The shrinking space for food doesn t, however, mean that airline meals are completely disappearing. But, as airlines look for ways to trim budgets and save space, they re turning back to those same ground-prepped cold snacks and sandwiches that airlines began their food service with decades ago. We re moving back to the box lunches that we started with in the US during the late 30s, early 40s. Something that can be easily transported. Nothing terribly perishable, basically a box lunch, a picnic lunch, said van der Linden. We ve kind of come full circle in a way.

45 November Issue 1 The CBPG Magazine 45 US Election 2016 Trump presidency: Your questions answered Donald Trump s election as the next US president, along with a Republican-controlled Congress, brings with it an avalanche of questions about the election itself - and about what happens next. From health insurance to same-sex marriage, global warming and Obamacare - American citizens and people around the world want to know what the future will hold under the new administration. Here we tackle some of the questions being raised online and by BBC audiences. Will Trump chase illegal immigrants from the US? Five days after the election, Mr Trump told US broadcaster CBS that he would deport or jail between two and three million illegal migrants initially. Those targeted would be migrants with criminal records, such as gang members and drug dealers. Overall, there are about 11 million illegal immigrants in the US, and Mr Trump has published a 10-point plan on immigration which includes overturning amnesties introduced by President Barack Obama, strictly enforcing immigration laws and deporting those who do not have correct documents. In the US, though, illegal immigrants do have a right to due process, so many more judges and prosecution lawyers will need to be appointed to practically make this happen and this could clog up the court system for years to come. Congress would need to approve funding for this process. Mr Trump is expected to revoke President Obama s executive orders of 2014, which gave hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants temporary legal status and an indefinite reprieve from deportation. Executive orders allow presidents to introduce their own legally binding policies without Congressional approval. Mr Trump has said that on his first day in office he will sign orders to speed up the removal of criminal illegal immigrants, but that he will also end President Obama s nonenforcement policy and will detain people found illegally entering the US until they are deported. He has promised to increase the number of enforcement officers needed to accomplish this. In its 2015 report, the Migration Policy Institute, a Washington-based nonpartisan think-tank, said there were about 820,000 illegal immigrants with criminal records. Many of them had been arrested for crossing illegally into the US. Meanwhile, a 2012 report by the non-partisan Congress Research Service think-tank said that only a small minority of all the unauthorised immigrants had committed violent crimes. All unauthorised aliens are potentially removable, indicated by crosshatches in the figure, but the majority of them have not been convicted of a crime and are therefore not classified as criminal aliens, the report said. It did not provide an overall number of illegal immigrants in the US. What will happen with ongoing lawsuits against Trump? Even by the standards of billionaire businessmen, Donald Trump is an unusually litigious man who has been involved in thousands of lawsuits - both those he has launched and those he has defended - over the years. The president-elect is currently facing 75 active lawsuits, according to an analysis by USA Today newspaper. By far the most pressing - and potentially embarrassing for the newly elected leader - are several lawsuits launched over the now-defunct Trump University, which centre on former students claiming they were charged tens of thousands of dollars for courses that promised to unlock the secrets of real estate entrepreneurship - and didn t. Mr Trump denies the claims. Because these were launched long before he assumed office, no presidential immunity statutes apply and Mr Trump will have to attend court when required. Could Trump be impeached? Article II of the US Constitution states that the president shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors If Mr Trump loses the case against him on Trump University that may leave him open to impeachment, some legal scholars suggest. Christopher L Peterson, professor of Law at the University of Utah, argues that fraud and racketeering are serious crimes that legally rise to the level of impeachable acts. Beginning the process of impeachment requires a majority vote in the House of Representatives. Whether the Republicans, who hold the majority of seats, would want to impeach their own president is another matter. What are Trump s plans for Social Security? Mr Trump has not proposed reductions on Social Security. The funding needed for Social Security is expected to balloon over the next decade, and it s unclear where the money to pay for it will come from without tax increases. The Republican Party s official 2016 platform says: Current retirees and those close to retirement can be assured of their benefits. Of the many reforms being proposed, all options should be considered to preserve Social Security. However, Mr Trump has appointed Michael Korbey to his transitional team to head Social Security. The Associated Press reports that as a senior adviser to the Social Security Administration, Korbey was an advocate for the George W Bush administration s failed attempt to privatise Social Security. Who is Mike Pence, Trump s vice-president-elect? Indiana Governor Mike Pence has described himself as a Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order. The 57-year-old has been a loyal supporter of Mr Trump, but - at times - he has not been afraid to speak his own mind. Prior to being named the business mogul s running mate in July, Mr Pence had criticised Mr Trump s proposed ban on Muslims entering the US as offensive and unconstitutional. And during his vicepresidential debate performance on 4 October, Mr Pence defended his own positions - not necessarily those of Mr Trump - when challenged. Mr Pence has served as governor of Indiana since 2013, but he also has 12 years of legislative experience as a member of the US House of Representatives. He is a favourite among social conservatives who boasts considerable experience in Washington. Mr Pence had considered running for president in Will same-sex marriages be upheld and continue to be recognised? Donald Trump has said in interviews over several years that he is opposed to same-sex marriage, although he s also said he has attended a gay wedding. He says the issue should be decided at state level,

46 46 The CBPG Magazine November Issue 1 The Costa Blanca Property & Business Guide rather than nationally, and that he was unhappy with the 2015 Supreme Court ruling earlier this year that made same-sex marriage legal across the country. After that decision he appeared to agree that it was a dead issue and suggested that he didn t support attempts to overturn the ruling. But earlier this year he told Fox News he would strongly consider appointing Supreme Court justices who would reverse it. He has not made the issue a priority. His Vice President-elect, Mike Pence, is strongly opposed to gay marriage. How many people voted in the US election? Election officials do not finalise the data until about two weeks after polling day. But the US Elections Project estimates that 128.8m Americans voted, out of 231.5m eligible voters - a turnout rate of 55.6%. In 2012, turnout was 58.6%, and in 2008 it was 62.2%. Who won the popular vote? Hillary Clinton looks set to win the popular vote by a narrow margin. The latest count shows that Mrs Clinton won 60,981,118 votes, which amounted to 47.8% of the total, compared with Donald Trump s 60,350,241 votes, or 47.3%. However, the system under which the US elects its president means that candidates need to win races in individual states to pick up Electoral College votes. As a result of victories in key swing states (those more likely to change hands between the two main parties) carrying large numbers of Electoral College votes, Mr Trump won 290 Electoral College votes - comfortably ahead of Mrs Clinton s 228. Two states, Michigan and New Hampshire, have not yet been declared. Other candidates polled 6,260,817 votes. How old were the candidates? To answer one of the most-asked questions on Google Trends - Donald Trump is 70 and Hillary Clinton is 69. When does Trump take office? He will be inaugurated at noon on Friday, 20 January In the meantime he will name his team, develop policy positions, and have access to government briefings, including classified information on national security and military operations. Will President Trump live in the White House? In an interview with The Hill website last year, Mr Trump appeared to scotch rumours that he would break with long tradition and not live in the presidential residence and principal workplace in Washington DC. Yes, I would live in the White House because it s the appropriate thing to do, he said. He went further, adding that he would rarely leave the White House because there s so much work to be done. Since Mr Trump won Tuesday s election, the Federal Aviation Administration has implemented flight restrictions over the area of his home on New York s Manhattan island that expire on 21 January, the day after his planned inauguration and expected move to the White House. Will Trump continue to run his businesses when president? Apparently not. In an interview with CNN, Donald Trump s lawyer said the privately owned Trump Organization - a company with US and international holdings including hotels, golf courses and commercial and residential property - would be held in a blind trust run by Mr Trump s adult children, Donald Junior, Ivanka and Eric. Whether such an arrangement constitutes a true blind trust that avoids conflicts of interest is being questioned by critics, as Mr Trump will still be aware of his business holdings and how policies might affect them, and direct relatives will be running them on a day-to-day basis. When is Trump going to start building the wall on the Mexican border? Donald Trump has made building a wall along the border to stop illegal immigration a refrain of his campaign In an interview on CBS Mr Trump has said a wall is more appropriate in some parts but there could be some fencing. A document on his website outlines how he would make Mexico pay. It would begin on day one with amending money transfer rules so that no alien would be able to wire money out of the US without showing documents establishing their lawful presence in the country. Mexico has rejected his assertion that it will pay. Given the expected cost and scale of the wall, the challenges of acquiring privately owned land along the border route to build it on, and Congressional backing from sceptical Republicans, many analysts think it will never be built. Instead, they expect an increase in border policing and tightening of immigration rules. Some Trump advisers have talked of a virtual or technological wall, though he has insisted it will be built. I have health insurance through Obamacare. Will I lose it? Donald Trump has pledged to repeal the Affordable Healthcare Act, which he intends to scrap very, very quickly. However, Mr Trump has now said he is open to leaving intact key parts of President Barack Obama s healthcare bill. He has said he will keep the ban on insurers denying coverage for pre-existing conditions. He told the Wall Street Journal that he also favoured allowing young adults to be insured on their parents policies. BBC North America reporter Anthony Zurcher notes that: the challenge for the president-elect is that the Obamacare features he praises - such as its mandate that insurers cover pre-existing medical conditions - are made possible by portions of the law he has condemned, like requiring all Americans to obtain insurance. Keeping the law s carrots while abandoning its sticks could prove difficult. Complicating the matter is that a revise and reform effort may not fly with Mr Trump s ardent supporters and the cadre of archconservative politicians in Congress, who want to tear up the law root and branch. Mr Trump often broke with Republican orthodoxy while campaigning and didn t pay a political price. He may learn that as president he won t get far without his party establishment s help. Can Trump launch nuclear bombs by himself? A US president has the authority to launch a nuclear attack within minutes. The nuclear briefcase (or football, as it s known) kept close to him at all times contains the codes he must use to authenticate his identity when ordering military commanders to carry out a nuclear strike. The Defence Secretary is also required to authenticate the codes, but does not have the authority to veto the decision. A complex system of people, procedures and technology then kicks into action to launch a nuclear attack. The system is designed to allow the US president to respond to an imminent nuclear attack, with as little as 10 minutes warning. The briefcase also contains a menu of pre-planned strike options, targeting different parts of the world in different ways. Donald Trump s critics have questioned whether he has the temperament, and intellectual capacity, to weigh complex information under the pressure of a nuclear alert - and have also raised concerns about someone known for his temper having access to the nuclear codes. His statements have given mixed messages on his approach, and he has stressed that unpredictability is important where military - including nuclear - options are involved. In April he told NBC he would be the last to use nuclear weapons describing their use as a horror. I will not be a happy trigger like some people might be, but I will never, ever rule it out, he said. But a month earlier he said: Somebody hits us within ISIS, you wouldn t fight back with a nuke? Will he stop abortion? In March, Donald Trump said that abortions should be illegal and he supported some form of punishment for women who had them. However, he later backed down from this, saying the legality of abortions should be left up to individual states, with any criminal penalties being reserved for abortion providers. Mr Trump has said that he supports an abortion ban exception in cases of rape, incest and [danger to] the life of the mother. He has also said he opposes the use of Medicaid to cover abortions for low-income women, and that with a Republican-controlled Congress he is willing to make that a matter of law. Most abortions in the US are carried out by clinics, with Planned Parenthood being one of the largest providers of the service. Mr Trump has

47 November Issue 1 The CBPG Magazine 47 promised to stop funding the organisation, which provides reproductive healthcare - including birth control measures - to women across the United States. But Planned Parenthood, whose affiliates operate around 650 health centres nationwide, has vowed to continue its work, tweeting: Planned Parenthood has been here for 100 years. One thing is clear we ll never back down & we ll never stop providing care for our patients. How will access to birth control be affected? Women with health insurance can currently obtain contraceptives for free under the Affordable Healthcare Act - known as Obamacare - which Donald Trump has vowed to dismantle. According to Vox, he could exclude birth control from the programme simply by changing a definition, rather than as part of wider moves to overturn the act. But Mr Trump has not said he plans to do this - or said whether he would include contraceptives in a scheme to replace Obamacare. He has said he backs access to contraceptives without a prescription. There s also concern about Donald Trump s plan to cut Planned Parenthood s funding. He has said the money will be reallocated to other providers, but critics say these would not be able to fill the gap in provision. Fears that birth control will become harder and more expensive to access have prompted a flurry of interest in long-term contraceptive implants known as IUDs. Women are advised to consult a doctor on contraceptive options. Will Donald Trump seek to halt or reduce legal immigration to the US? Mr Trump has stated that he wants jobs to go to American workers first and that he wants to reduce the numbers of foreign workers admitted to the US. Under his administration he says immigrants will be selected among other things on their ability to be financially selfsufficient and he has said people will be subject to extreme vetting and an ideological test. There has been no detail given on what this vetting and testing would involve and experts point out that the US immigration code already includes ideological tests and screens those attempting to enter the country. Mr Trump also wants to temporarily suspend immigration from regions that export terrorism and where safe vetting cannot presently be ensured. Over the years Congress has granted wide powers to the president to change immigration rules and he could institute even greater background screening checks. However, there is debate about whether he could impose lower limits on the number of people who can immigrate or change current green card categories, without Congressional support. According to US law the president does hold the authority to suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens if the group s entry would be detrimental to the interests of the United States. That can extend for as long as the president deems necessary. I m a Muslim, will I still be allowed to go on holiday to the US? After last year s mass shooting in San Bernardino, California, when 14 people were killed, Mr Trump issued a press release calling for a total and complete shutdown on Muslims entering the US until our country s representatives can figure out what is going on. The statement attracted condemnation from around the globe and significantly from his Vice President-elect Mike Pence, who called the proposal offensive and unconstitutional. Over the months it appears Mr Trump may have abandoned his plan. In October, Mr Pence told journalists he no longer protested against the proposed ban because it s not Donald Trump s position now. After the election, the page on his website that set out the policy appeared to have been removed, replaced by a redirect to the site s main page. That raised questions about whether it was being dropped, but the page was later restored and the Trump campaign told the Washington Post it had been an error. Can Trump undo accords and agreements on climate change? Mr Trump has expressed scepticism about the science behind climate change and wants to get the US out of the Paris Climate Agreement deal. He says the deal is bad for US business and will allow foreign bureaucrats control over how much energy we use. In 2012, he tweeted that the concept of global warming was created by the Chinese to make US manufacturing non-competitive. But last January, he described that comment as a joke. However, the Paris Agreement has been ratified and is already part of international law. While Mr Trump probably would easily find sufficient political backing to withdraw US support, the formal process to do this would take four years. Since the election, delegates from 200 countries at the UN climate talks in Morocco have said they are prepared to move ahead with work on the Paris Agreement without the US. Will Trump weaken Nato and put US allies at a disadvantage? The president-elect s foreign policy, expressed in his America First plan, states that it will always prioritise US interests, and that foreign allies should bear more of the cost of military action and defence. Mr Trump has made it clear he intends to reassess US involvement in the Western military alliance Nato. In an interview in July with the New York Times, he stated that in the face of a future attack from Russia, Nato members could only expect the US to defend them if they have fulfilled their obligations to us - an apparent breach of the alliance s mutualdefence treaty. Following his election, European leaders have asked Mr Trump to clarify his position, while Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg reminded him that the treaty commitment was something absolutely unconditioned. Whether a compromise can be reached is, at present, not known. Will Trump attack North Korea? Former US Assistant Secretary of State PJ Crowley told the BBC: At some point, probably quite early on, Kim Jongun will stand up (spreads arms wide) and say to President Trump: We re a nuclear power. What are you doing to do about it? That will be a key test for President Trump. Much of Donald Trump s foreign policy remain unclear. In May, he did suggest that he would sit down with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to try to stop Pyongyang s nuclear programme, proposing a major shift in US policy toward the isolated nation by saying: I would speak to him, I would have no problem speaking to him. Pyongyang endorsed him and called him a wise politician and a far-sighted candidate, and cheered his comments that South Korea should pay more for US troops to remain on its soil. But following the election, North Korea has made it clear it does not intend to give up its nuclear weapons. Addressing this question in the last few days, Graham Allison, one of the world s leading experts on nuclear proliferation and containment, said: One of the many problems with Trump is that he has apparently not worked his way through any of the possible scenarios regarding a North Korean threat. Our commander-in-chief is the only person who stands between us and the possibility of getting blown to hell. Whether he would be impetuous, or impatient, or not know the material, we just don t know. Mr Trump has also said he would be open to allowing Japan and South Korea to build their own nuclear arsenals for their protection against North Korea and China. What are Trump s policies regarding Africa? The US spends billions on Africa through aid and investment, but Donald Trump has said very little about how he intends to deal with the continent. On foreign aid in general, he has said he would rather see money spent in the US. This raises concerns over the future of US aid schemes such as the Power Africa project, which aims to double the number of people with electricity across the continent and the Pepfar plan to tackle HIV/Aids. His tough talk on so-called Islamic State, support for torture and anti-muslim immigration statements all suggest

Is Canada now going to get many more American immigrants? When the news of a possible Trump victory started to emerge, Canada s immigration website crashed, a phenomenon that was attributed to higher than normal level of traffic. There was also a surge of traffic to the New Zealand immigration website and the Google search Australia immigration hit a massive spike. It is uncertain at this stage if this wave of interest by US citizens will result in people actually deciding to make the move to Canada or elsewhere. However, while getting a travel visa to Canada would be straightforward for many Americans, moving permanently is a different issue. Canada has several different immigration programmes and each has different application and eligibility requirements. According to specialist immigration lawyers, having a special skill or profession, joining immediate family members already living in Canada, or claiming political asylum as a protected person are the three main ways to make the move. But for others, factors such as nationality, age, language ability, education and work experience will all be thoroughly scrutinised. Will a Trump presidency be favourable to a post- Brexit UK? Unlike President Obama, Mr Trump supported Brexit and said in May that Britain would not be at the back of the queue for a trade deal outside the EU. His trade adviser, Dan DiMicco, has said the president-elect wanted to to do a deal with the UK as soon as possible after Brexit but that doesn t mean he had a deal in mind that would necessarily be good for the UK. Despite the so-called special relationship, the UK gets no mention in the trade policy plans Mr Trump outlined to voters. He also stated clearly in his America First speech, that in both trade and foreign policy: No country has ever prospered that failed to put its own interests first. The impact of his policies at home on the American economy as a whole will resonate in the UK, and PM Theresa May will want to protect and grow the UK export market to the US which is currently worth around 3.5bn. But Mr Trump is unpredictable and the UK is moving into unpredictable times. What will happen to the petition to bar Trump from the UK now that he will be president? In 2015, a petition was drawn up to, Block Donald J Trump from UK entry for hate speech. This was in response to a number of comments made by Mr Trump, particularly about Muslims. The petition had over half a million signatures and was debated in parliament in January Although current Prime Minister Theresa May, who was the home secretary at the time, condemned Mr Trump s controversial remarks, she rejected the call to ban him from the UK. Although there was a debate, there was no vote on the issue so there will be no direct action. The Antahkarana Bridge The Antahkarana Bridge is a rainbow bridge linking the personality, the soul, the monad and then finishing at Source. You can only build the bridge by using spiritual practices such as prayer, mental discipline, meditation and visualisations. We receive help from the soul and later the monad (a basic unit of perceptual reality) in the process of building the bridge but the first part of the work needs to be done by the person When the personality wakes up and sets out to strengthen the connection with the soul it is the spiritual vibration of its work which makes it stronger. The physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies start to come together, we lose interest in material things, we start to control our emotions, we use our willpower for self discipline rather than for power struggles with others and we are interested in acquiring spiritual knowledge. The bridge is built by learning to have a spiritual attitude in life rather than living in the ego. We need to hold the mind steady in the light constantly keeping the consciousness attuned to the soul and how it would have us think, feel and act. The lower ego, other people, carnal desires and the environment will try to pull us away from this state of consciousness The SOUL is connected by a cord to the PINEAL GLAND of the person (this is situated in the brain) and this cord is strengthened by knowledge and proper use of the mind. It contains mental qualities from the soul and is called the CONSCIOUSNESS CORD. Knowledge utilizes this cord and wisdom utilizes the Antahkarana when it is built. There is also a SILVER CORD connecting the MONAD to our HEART CENTRE. This is also known as the Sutratma or life thread. It is activated and strengthened with spiritual love energy. Psychics often talk of physical death taking place when the silver cord breaks and the spirit can return to the monad. In Lemuria the silver cord was the principal cord whereas in Atlantis the consciousness cord became more activated. In this age it is now our purpose to build the Antahkarana and totally activate it. Information from the Consciousness Cord and the Silver Cord comes down from above whereas the Antahkarana works up from below. It is at the 4th initiation (sacrifice, great suffering) that the soul merges with the personality which is then guided by the monad. At the 5th initiation (starting to see a new vision), it is like three rope bridges merging together to form a bridge of light and there is a meeting of soul-infused personality, higher self and monad. At the 6th initiation (Ascension), they integrate completely and the body turns into light. The initiate has now become an Ascended Master and can start building the bridge to Source. The Antahkarana Bridge is the bridge of light which allows us to move towards our monad. It is the only way to freedom and it is built over many lifetimes. At this current time there are great opportunities and a lot of spiritual help available to enable us to complete the work and merge with our monad. Everything is speeding up. According to Alice Bailey there are 6 steps needed to build the Antahkarana Bridge: Intention You must focus on your intention to be Sourcerealized. This is about your understanding your purpose for your journey down here on earth; it is important to remain determined and dedicated. If you get disheartened when building your Antahkarana bridge do not give up, hold the mind steady in the light! Visualisation Use your imagination to focus on your bridge of light. Many spiritual books contain visualisations to help strengthen your link to Source. Projection Picture your goal and move towards it no matter what. It helps to stay in communication so keep the telephone lines open and constantly tell the other end you are coming! Using sacred mantras with intention and visualisations are a good way to do this. Invocation and Evocation You are not alone. Every step you take towards the monad, it is taking a step towards you. Constant prayer, spiritual work and invocation evokes a response from your monad. When you feel you are never going to reach the end of the path remember the forces of light are on their way to reach you! Stabilisation At first the Antahkarana Bridge is as fragile as a thread but gradually by spiritual living and disciplines you will weave in thread upon thread of light until the bridge is wide, strong and UNBREAKABLE. Resurrection As the personality moves towards the spiritual life there are 3 separate consciousnesses. After the merging of the soul and personality there is duality. When the soul and monad merge there is oneness. This is when we become light, we become immortal. As each of us builds our own individual Antahkarana Bridge we contribute a thread to the planetary Antahkarana which connects earth to the cosmic scheme of things

49 November Issue 1 The CBPG Magazine 49 A History of Salt Mining in the Torrevieja area Torrevieja and tourism - as a favourite destination for ex-pats from Northern Europe - are intrinsically linked. The town was founded on 3rd March 1803 when King Charles IV decreed the removal of the administration of the Royal Salt Works from La Mata to the new area of Torre-viexa. The name of this settlement derived from the many maritime watchtowers that lined the coast and where there is still a replica in the form of the Torre del Moro panoramic viewpoint. The bustling coastal resort is home to an amazing feat of nature - as you drive in from Alicante airport you will pass between two salt lakes one is blue/green and the other is an impressive pink colour. The La Mata and Torrevieja natural park is a rich haven for flora and fauna, and the salt lakes are also the reason why Torrevieja developed from a little fishing village to a working town in the 18th century. The lagoons also provide a restful place for a walk or picnic - strangely, the Torrevieja lagoon is pink and is where the salt is extracted while La Mata lagoon is green. It is difficult to summarise the history of Torrevieja, but one event which stands out is that of the brutal earthquake of 1829 which led to the complete reconstruction of the town. The population grew significantly during last quarter of the 20th century which is why the present town is cosmopolitan with nearly 100,000 inhabitants from about 180 countries. This other side of Torrevieja although wellknown to locals, is much more of a mystery to those who visit on holiday. It is sea salt. And such is the value of this natural resource the industry continues to expand, now producing more than 700,000 tons every year, an increase of 15 per cent in just the past two years. The word salary was derived from the word salt a mineral highly valued since time immemorial and whose production was legally restricted in ancient times when it was used as a method of trade and currency. The word salad also originated from salt and began with the early Romans salting their leafy greens and vegetables. As they so often did wherever they settled, the Romans were the first to realise the value of the salt lakes mainly because they once used salt as currency. What the Romans started has continued to grow to what it is today - one of Spain s most valuable exports. In the agreement, NCAST has agreed with Torrevieja City Council to preserve items of industrial heritage, to invest in environmental improvements and also to promote tourism projects connected to the salt industry. Spain s Department of Tourism is planning on developing workshops in Torrevieja that will focus on salt as a tourist attraction. This will enable tourists and visitors to see for the first time the process of wet salt extraction, unique to the area. Sea water is brought to Torrevieja lagoon via an artificial channel - built in and is one of the oldest hydraulic construction projects in the province of Alicante. Water flowed naturally along this route as the lagoon is below sea level and gravity did the job. It was from that time that the commercial value of salt extraction was realised and industry began to grow from strength to strength. The old railway station has now been refurbished and converted into an Exhibition Centre and Salt Industry Exhibition Centre, which illustrates the value of the salt extraction industry - one of the most important in Europe - because of the variety of uses salt can be put to (from de-icing roads to the food and chemical industries). The Torrevieja and La Mata lagoons are part of the Valencia Community Protected Areas and are classified as Natural Parks, covering 3,754 acres. The Torrevieja Lagoon, where most salt extraction takes place, is 5.5 kilometres long and three kilometres wide. Why is the lake so pink? The strange pink-purple colour of the Torrevieja lagoon is caused by pigments of the Halobacterium bacteria which lives in extreme salty environments. This is also found in the Dead Sea and the Great Salt Lake. The colour is also caused by an alga called Dunadiella Salina, which is responsible for the bright red colour of the lake seen at certain times of the year. The Artemia Salina brine shrimp, which lives in the lake, is also red because it feeds on the bacteria. You will also see the flamingos turn a lovely shade of pink because they eat the shrimps. The salt is produced from the south-east corner of the pink lagoon. Mountains of salt Production tends to take place when Torrevieja starts to heat up in June and ends in October. The process begins when the sea water is carried to La Mata lagoon. The salt lake is four metres below sea level which is enough to open the gates of La Mata canal to let the water pass through. As it reaches the green salt lake, the water starts to evaporate. At this time, the water contains about 30g of sodium chloride (common salt) per litre. After the water evaporates, the salt level rises to about 150g per litre. At this point, the water is carried to the Torrevieja lagoon, where the salt level soars to about 300g per litre. It is at this key moment that the process of crystallisation takes place and the salt starts to solidify at the bottom of the lake. Now it is collected. At one time, this was done manually with one worker hitting the salt to break it up and another loading it into a boat. Nowadays, a special machine does the work. The machine, which looks similar to a tank, moves through the lake lifting the salt and loading it on to a conveyor belt. This carries it to barges waiting at the side of the lake. Paddle boats similar to Mississippi river boats act as tugs to drag the barges on to an artificial island the middle of the lake. The salt is unloaded on to another conveyor belt and washed several times to get rid of any impurities such as clay. After this, it is taken to the side of the lake and deposited into large salt mountains. The pyramid shape prevents rain water from washing away the salt as it simply runs off the sides. The salt is then split into different categories and sizes depending on its final use. Altogether, there are 14,000 different uses for salt including making glass, PVC manufacture, and in the textile, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. It is also used to de-ice the roads. The Torrevieja salt is moved directly to the ships by conveyor belts linked to the ports so it can be exported abroad. Norway is the main importer while Italy, Portugal, UK, USA, Ireland and Denmark are also major users. Within Spain, Torrevieja salt is sent to Galicia for use by food companies and to Catalonia and the Basque country. Nowadays, the Torrevieja lakes produce 700,000 tonnes of salt a year and is still a very important industry for the Alicante region. The current leaseholders has guaranteed salt production until at least 2039 so it will continue to be a profitable business for the area. As part of the agreement, the company has also agreed to invest in environmental improvements and to help promote the salt industry as a tourist attraction. Visitors can learn about the history of these amazing lagoons in an interpretation centre, which proudly boasts that the Torrevieja salt industry is one of the most important throughout Europe. Unique works of art in Torrevieja In the Salt and Sea Museum, you can see some beautiful model boats which have captured the crystallisation process of the salt. The old clipper boats, as well as other objects, are made of cotton and placed in the salt marsh. The salt sticks to the string to create beautiful shapes of crystallised salt. This craftsmanship of salt boats is unique to Torrevieja and is advised to be on the agenda of must-see activities for any visitor.

Or is your workspace a minimalist s dream? Every office worker has a particular type of desk they keep, and a number of The clutterer personality desk types for UK co-working company Headspace Group, drawing So, what does your desk space say about your personality? The clutterer The clutterer s workspace is chaotic, colourful and The expander much more welcoming than the sparse minimalism or oppressive piles of papers of their less outgoing counterparts. The minimalist Love a routine and a post-it note? You might more defensive of their space, says Bernheimer. In fact, over time, their personal effects may start to encroach on other people s spaces; a coat on a spare chair or debris radiating out from their desk onto that of others. They may try to mark more and more territory for themselves by moving their coffee cup and their sandwich out further to claim more territory. Expanders love a spot in the centre of the room and may be more aggressive about carving out their physical space. Should you be worried? Well, sitting next to an expander might make you thankful for that partition. And, if you work in a hot-desking or co-working space, they ll The personaliser that you re high in the trait called openness, which means you re likely to be high in creativity, intellectuality and openness to new experience, says Bernheimer. Personalisers are curious, extroverted and creative, says Bernheimer. They re also more likely to be satisfied in their jobs, psychological wellbeing and physical health a benefit for both the employee and the employer. The surveyor Hate having your back to the door? Feel insecure if your desk is in a high traffic area? There s a good reason for that. Evolutionarily, it would have been advantageous to us to situate ourselves in places where we had a good view of potential threats, says Bernheimer. Surveyors prefer their personal space too much distraction, stimulation or interaction can throw them off their game. They may prefer to studies suggest that how you keep your workspace might affect how you work, from the idea that disorderly environments produce creativity to the idea that too much clutter can interfere with focus. Deliberately or not, we re constantly making statements about ourselves through our personal presentation, says Sam Gosling, professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, and author of the book Snoop: What Your Stuff Says About You. One of the reasons physical spaces, including one s office desk, can be so revealing is that they re essentially the crystallisation of a lot of behaviour over time, he says. Lily Bernheimer, an environmental psychology consultant and director at UK-based Space Works Consulting developed five on the work of Gosling and other personality and environmental psychologists. A research fellow at the University of Surrey in the UK, Bernheimer came up with an evidence-based The minimalist breakdown that combined insights from personality research, environmental psychology and the big five personality traits: extroversion; agreeableness; conscientiousness; neuroticism and openness to experience. often covered in knickknacks and personal effects.

But just because minimalists don t enjoy clutter, it doesn t mean they re not extroverted, says Bernheimer: An extremely tidy and organised workplace doesn t indicate that you re introverted. Instead, a minimalist is more likely to be high in the traits of conscientiousness, discipline and cautiousness. They are hardworking, reliable, achievement-oriented and thrive on structure and planning, she says. Be warned though, if you re not making at least a small personal mark on your desk, your lack of human imprint might indicate you don t plan to stay long in your role.

A simple, stylish or unusual workspace tells people sit with their backs against an office wall and to work alone. They might even be a little grumpy. But don t judge too harshly: while surveyors might be introverted, they are also highly creative and productive, says Bernheimer. Just leave them alone to get on with it, and don t sneak up behind them when they re working.

51 November Issue 1 The CBPG Magazine 51 Brexit: All you need to know about the UK leaving the EU By Alex Hunt & Brian Wheeler, BBC News This article is designed to be an easy-tounderstand guide on what happens now that the UK has voted to leave the European Union. What does Brexit mean? It is a word that has become used as a shorthand way of saying the UK leaving the EU - merging the words Britain and exit to get Brexit, in a same way as a possible Greek exit from the euro was dubbed Grexit in the past. Why is Britain leaving the European Union? A referendum - a vote in which everyone (or nearly everyone) of voting age can take part - was held on Thursday 23 June, to decide whether the UK should leave or remain in the European Union. Leave won by 52% to 48%. The referendum turnout was 71.8%, with more than 30 million people voting. What was the breakdown across the UK? England voted strongly for Brexit, by 53.4% to 46.6%, as did Wales, with Leave getting 52.5% of the vote and Remain 47.5%. Scotland and Northern Ireland both backed staying in the EU. Scotland backed Remain by 62% to 38%, while 55.8% in Northern Ireland voted Remain and 44.2% Leave. What has happened since the referendum? Britain has got a new Prime Minister - Theresa May. The former home secretary took over from David Cameron, who resigned the day after losing the referendum. Like Mr Cameron, Mrs May was against Britain leaving the EU but she says she will respect the will of the people. She has said Brexit means Brexit but there is still a lot of debate about what that will mean in practice especially on the two key issues of how British firms do business in the European Union and what curbs are brought in on the rights of European Union nationals to live and work in the UK. What about the economy? The UK economy appears to have weathered the initial shock of the Brexit vote, although the value of the pound remains near a 30-year low, but opinion is sharply divided over the long-term effects of leaving the EU. Some major firms such as Easyjet and John Lewis have pointed out that the slump in sterling has increased their costs. Britain also lost its top AAA credit rating, meaning the cost of government borrowing will be higher. But share prices have recovered from a dramatic slump in value, with both the FTSE 100 and the broader FTSE 250 index, which includes more British-based businesses, trading higher than before the referendum. The Bank of England is hoping its decision to cut interest rates from 0.5% to 0.25% - a record low and the first cut since will stave off recession and stimulate investment, with some economic indicators pointing to a downturn. What is the European Union? The European Union - often known as the EU - is an economic and political Theresa May (UK) and Angela Merkel (Germany) partnership involving 28 European countries. It began after World War Two to foster economic co-operation, with the idea that countries which trade together are more likely to avoid going to war with each other. It has since grown to become a single market allowing goods and people to move around, basically as if the member states were one country. It has its own currency, the euro, which is used by 19 of the member countries, its own parliament and it now sets rules in a wide range of areas - including on the environment, transport, consumer rights and even things such as mobile phone charges. So when will Britain actually leave it? For the UK to leave the EU it has to invoke an agreement called Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty which gives the two sides two years to agree the terms of the split. Theresa May has said she intends to trigger this process by the end of March 2017, meaning the UK will be expected to have left by the summer of 2019, depending on the precise timetable agreed during the negotiations. Once negotiations officially begin, we will start to get a clear idea of what kind of deal the UK will seek from the EU, on trade and immigration. The government will also enact a Great Repeal Bill which will end the primacy of EU law in the UK. It will incorporate EU legislation into UK law, after which the government will decide which parts to keep, change or retain. What about the court challenge to the Brexit process? A court challenge to Theresa May s right to trigger the Article 50 process without getting the backing of Parliament has been successful in the High Court. This means that there could be delays to starting the Article 50 process, but Downing Street is appealing to the Supreme Court with a hearing starting on 5 December. Downing Street says it intends to stick to its March timetable for the beginning of the two year exit talks. But if the appeal fails, Brexit Secretary David Davis has suggested that the judgement implies they will need to bring forward an act of parliament - which would mean both MPs and the House of Lords giving the go-head for the talks to begin. Although it is generally believed that the go-ahead would ultimately be given - because of the EU referendum result - having to go through the full parliamentary process could prompt attempts to amend the legislation or add in caveats, such as the UK having to negotiate a deal which included staying the European single market after Brexit. Who is going to negotiate Britain s exit from the EU? Caption David Davis has been appointed Secretary of State for Brexit Theresa May set up a government department, headed by veteran Conservative MP and Leave campaigner David Davis, to take responsibility for Brexit. Former defence secretary, Liam Fox, who also campaigned to leave the EU, has been given the job of international trade secretary and Boris Johnson, who was a leader of the official Leave campaign, is foreign secretary. These men - dubbed the Three Brexiteers - will play a central role in negotiations with the EU and seek out new international agreements, although it will be Mrs May, as prime minister, who will have the final say. The government did not do any emergency planning for Brexit ahead of the referendum and Mrs May has rejected calls to say what her negotiating goals are. How long will it take for Britain to leave the EU? Once Article 50 has been triggered, the UK will have two years to negotiate its withdrawal. But no one really knows how the Brexit process will work - Article 50 was only created in late 2009 and it has never been used. Former Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond, now Chancellor, wanted Britain to remain in the EU, and he has suggested it could take up to six years for the UK to complete exit negotiations. The terms of Britain s exit will have to be agreed by 27 national parliaments, a process which could take some years, he has argued. EU law still stands in the UK until it ceases being a member. The UK will continue to abide by EU treaties and laws, but not take part in any decision-making.

52 52 The CBPG Magazine November Issue 1 The Costa Blanca Property & Business Guide Why will Brexit take so long? Unpicking 43 years of treaties and agreements covering thousands of different subjects was never going to be a straightforward task. It is further complicated by the fact that it has never been done before and negotiators will, to some extent, be making it up as they go along. The post-brexit trade deal is likely to be the most complex part of the negotiation because it needs the unanimous approval of more than 30 national and regional parliaments across Europe, some of whom may want to hold referendums. The likely focus of negotiations between the UK and EU In very simplified terms, the starting positions are Theresa May (UK) and Angela Merkel (Germany) that the EU will only allow the UK to be part of the European single market (which allows tariff-free trade) if it continues to allow EU nationals the unchecked right to live and work in the UK. The UK says it wants controls on the numbers of people who come to Britain from Europe. Both sides want trade to continue after Brexit with the UK seeking a positive outcome for those who wish to trade goods and services - such as those in the City of London. The challenge for the UK s Brexit talks will be to do enough to tackle immigration concerns while getting the best possible trade arrangements with the EU. Some Brexiteers, such as ex-chancellor Lord Lawson, say that as the UK does not want freedom of movement and the EU says that without it there is no single market membership, the UK should end uncertainty by pushing ahead with Brexit and not waste time trying to negotiate a special deal. What do soft and hard Brexit mean? These terms are increasingly being used as debate focuses on the terms of the UK s departure from the EU. There is no strict definition of either, but they are used to refer to the closeness of the UK s relationship with the EU post-brexit. So at one extreme, hard Brexit could involve the UK refusing to compromise on issues like the free movement of people in order to maintain access to the EU single market. At the other end of the scale, a soft Brexit might follow a similar path to Norway, which is a member of the single market and has to accept the free movement of people as a result. Ex-chancellor George Osborne and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn are among those to have warned against pursuing a hard option, while some Eurosceptic Conservative MPs have put forward the opposite view. What happens to EU citizens living in the UK? The government has declined to give a firm guarantee about the status of EU nationals currently living in the UK, saying this is not possible without a reciprocal pledge from other EU members about the millions of British nationals living on the continent. EU nationals with a right to permanent residence, which is granted after they have lived in the UK for five years, will be be able to stay, the chief civil servant at the Home Office has said. The rights of other EU nationals would be subject to negotiations on Brexit and the will of Parliament, he added. What happens to UK citizens working in the EU? A lot depends on the kind of deal the UK agrees with the EU. If it remains within the single market, it would almost certainly retain free movement rights, allowing UK citizens to work in the EU and vice versa. If the government opted to impose work permit restrictions, then other countries could reciprocate, meaning Britons would have to apply for visas to work. What about EU nationals who want to work in the UK? Again, it depends on whether the UK government decides to introduce a work permit system of the kind that currently applies to non- EU citizens, limiting entry to skilled workers in professions where there are shortages. Citizens Advice has reminded people their rights have not changed yet and asked anyone to contact them if they think they have been discriminated against following the Leave vote. Brexit Secretary David Davis has suggested EU migrants who come to the UK as Brexit nears may not be given the right to stay. He has said there might have to be a cut-off point if there was a surge in new arrivals. What does the fall in the value of the pound mean for prices in the shops? Shoppers will need to keep a close eye on how much David Davis has been appointed Secretary of State for Brexit they are spending. People travelling overseas from the UK have found their pounds are buying fewer euros or dollars after the Brexit vote. The day-to-day spending impact is likely to be more significant. Even if the pound regains some of its value, currency experts expect it to remain at least 10% below where it was on 23 June, in the long term. This means imported goods will consequently get more expensive - some price rises for food, clothing and homeware goods have already been seen and the issue was most notably illustrated by the dispute between Tesco and Marmite s makers about whether prices would be put up or not in the stores. However the current UK inflation rate is 1% so it remains to be seen how big an effect currency fluctuations have in the longer term. Will immigration be cut? Prime Minister Theresa May has said one of the main messages she has taken from the Leave vote is that the British people want to see a reduction in immigration. She has said this will be a focus of Brexit negotiations. As mentioned above, the key issue is whether other EU nations will grant the UK access to the single market, if that is what it wants, while at the same time being allowed to restrict the rights of EU citizens to live and work in the UK. Mrs May has said she remains committed to getting net migration - the difference between the numbers entering and leaving the country - down to a sustainable level, which she defines as being below 100,000 a year. It is currently running at 330,000 a year, of which 184,000 are EU citizens, and 188,000 are from outside the EU - the figures include a 39,000 outflow of UK citizens. Could there be a second referendum? It seems highly unlikely. Both the Conservatives and the Labour Party have ruled out another referendum, arguing that it would be an undemocratic breach of trust with the British people who clearly voted to Leave. The Liberal Democrats - who have just a handful of MPs - have vowed to halt Brexit and keep Britain in the EU if they were to win the next general election. Some commentators, including former House of Commons clerk Lord Lisvane, have argued that a further referendum would be needed to ratify whatever deal the UK hammers out with the EU, but there are few signs political leaders view this as a viable option. Will MPs get a vote on the Brexit deal? Yes. Theresa May has appeared keen to avoid a vote on her negotiating stance, to avoid having to give away her priorities, but it has seemed clear there will be a Commons vote to approve whatever deal the UK and the rest of the EU agree at the end of the two year process. It is worth mentioning that it looks like the deal also has to be agreed by the European Parliament - with British MEPs getting a chance to vote on it there. Will I need a visa to travel to the EU? While there could be limitations on British nationals ability to live and work in EU countries, it seems unlikely they would want to deter tourists. There are many countries outside the

53 November Issue 1 The CBPG Magazine 53 European Economic Area, which includes the 28 EU nations plus Iceland, Lichtenstein and Norway, that British citizens can visit for up to 90 days without needing a visa and it is possible that such arrangements could be negotiated with European countries. Will I still be able to use my passport? Yes. It is a British document - there is no such thing as an EU passport, so your passport will stay the same. In theory, the government could, if it wanted, decide to change the colour, which is currently standardised for EU countries, says the BBC s Europe correspondent, Chris Morris. Some say we could still remain in the single market - but what is a single market? The single market is seen by its advocates as the EU s biggest achievement and one of the main reasons it was set up in the first place. Britain was a member of a free trade area in Europe before it joined what was then known as the common market. In a free trade area countries can trade with each other without paying tariffs - but it is not a single market because the member states do not have to merge their economies together. The European Union single market, which was completed in 1992, allows the free movement of goods, services, money and people within the European Union, as if it was a single country. It is possible to set up a business or take a job anywhere within it. The idea was to boost trade, create jobs and lower prices. But it requires common law-making to ensure products are made to the same technical standards and imposes other rules to ensure a level playing field. Critics say it generates too many petty regulations and robs members of control over their own affairs. Mass migration from poorer to richer countries has also raised questions about the free movement rule. Has any other member state ever left the EU? No nation state has ever left the EU. But Greenland, one of Denmark s overseas territories, held a referendum in 1982, after gaining a greater degree of self government, and voted by 52% to 48% to leave, which it duly did after a period of negotiation. The BBC s Carolyn Quinn visited Greenland at the end of last year to find out how they did it. Caption Nicola Sturgeon says a new independence referendum in Scotland is likely What does this mean for Scotland? Scotland s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said in the wake of the Leave result that it is democratically unacceptable that Scotland faces being taken out of the EU when it voted to Remain. A second independence referendum for the country is now highly likely, she has said. What does it mean for Northern Ireland? Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said the impact in Northern Ireland would be very profound and that the whole island of Ireland should now be able to vote on reunification. But, speaking while she was still Northern Ireland Secretary, Theresa Villiers ruled out the call from Sinn Féin for a border poll, saying the circumstances in which one would be called did not exist. How will pensions, savings, investments and mortgages be affected? During the referendum campaign, David Cameron said the so-called triple lock for state pensions would be threatened by a UK exit. This is the agreement by which pensions increase by at least the level of earnings, inflation or 2.5% every year - whichever is the highest. If economic performance deteriorates, the Bank of England could decide on a further programme of quantitative easing, as an alternative to cutting interest rates, which would lower bond yields and with them annuity rates. So anyone taking out a pension annuity could get less income for their money. Though it s worth pointing out that annuity rates have been falling since before the vote anyway. The Bank of England may consider raising interest rates to combat extra pressure on inflation. That would make mortgages and loans more expensive to repay but would be good news for savers. However it is still too soon to say whether or not these warnings will prove accurate. Will duty-free sales on Europe journeys return? Journalists and writers on social media have greeted the reintroduction of dutyfree sales as an upside or silver lining of Brexit. As with most Brexit consequences, whether this will happen depends on how negotiations with the EU play out - whether the customs union agreement between Britain and the EU is ended or continued. Eurotunnel boss Jacques Gounon said last November the reintroduction of duty-free would be an incredible boost for my business but he later said that remark had been light-hearted. Erik Juul-Mortensen, president of the Tax Free World Association (TFWA) said after the referendum vote it is not possible to predict how Brexit will affect the duty free and travel retail industry, and it is wiser not to make assumptions about exactly what the impact will be. Will EHIC cards still be valid? They are at the moment but no-one knows the longer term prospects for definite. The EHIC card - which entitles travellers to state-provided medical help for any condition or injury that requires urgent treatment, in any other country within the EU, as well as several non-eu countries - is not an EU initiative. It was negotiated between countries within a group known as the European Economic Area, often simply referred to as the single market (plus Switzerland, which confusingly is not a member of the EEA, but has agreed access to the single market). Therefore, the future of Britons EHIC cover could depend on whether the UK decided to sever ties with the EEA. Will cars need new number plates? Probably not, says BBC Europe correspondent Chris Morris, because there s no EU-wide law on vehicle registration or car number places, and the EU flag symbol is a voluntary identifier and not compulsory. The DVLA says there has been no discussion about what would happen to plates with the flag if the UK voted to leave. Could MPs block an EU exit? Could the necessary legislation pass the Commons, given that a lot of MPs - all SNP and Lib Dems, nearly all Labour and many Conservatives - were in favour of staying? The referendum result is not legally binding - Parliament still has to pass the laws that will get Britain out of the 28 nation bloc, starting with the repeal of the 1972 European Communities Act. The withdrawal agreement also has to be ratified by Parliament - the House of Lords and/ or the Commons could vote against ratification, according to a House of Commons library report. In practice, Conservative MPs who voted to remain in the EU would be whipped to vote with the government. Any who defied the whip would have to face the wrath of voters at the next general election. One scenario that could see the referendum result overturned, is if MPs forced a general election Nicola Sturgeon says a new independence referendum in Scotland is likely and a party campaigned on a promise to keep Britain in the EU, got elected and then claimed that the election mandate topped the referendum one. Two-thirds of MPs would have to vote for a general election to be held before the next scheduled one in Will leaving the EU mean we don t have to abide by the European Court of Human Rights? The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg is not a European Union institution. It was set up by the Council of Europe, which has 47 members including Russia and Ukraine. So quitting the EU will not exempt the UK from its decisions. However, the UK government is committed to repealing the Human Rights Act which requires UK courts to treat the ECHR as setting legal precedents for the UK, in favour of a British Bill of Rights. As part of that, the UK government is expected to announce measures that will boost the powers of courts in England and Wales to over-rule judgements handed down by the ECHR. However, the EU has its own European Court of Justice, whose decisions are binding on EU institutions and member states. Its rulings have sometimes caused controversy in Britain and supporters of a Brexit have called for immediate legislation to curb its powers. Will the UK be able to rejoin the EU in the future? BBC Europe editor Katya Adler says the UK would have to start from scratch with no rebate, and enter accession talks with the EU. Every member state

54 54 The CBPG Magazine November Issue 1 The Costa Blanca Property & Business Guide would have to agree to the UK re-joining. But she says with elections looming elsewhere in Europe, other leaders might not be generous towards any UK demands. New members are required to adopt the euro as their currency, once they meet the relevant criteria, although the UK could try to negotiate an opt-out. Who wanted the UK to leave the EU? The UK Independence Party, which received nearly four million votes - 13% of those cast - in May s general election, has campaigned for many years for Britain s exit from the EU. They were joined in their call during the referendum campaign by about half the Conservative Party s MPs, including Boris Johnson and five members of the then Cabinet. A handful of Labour MPs and Northern Ireland party the DUP were also in favour of leaving. What were their reasons for wanting the UK to leave? They said Britain was being held back by the EU, which they said imposed too many rules on business and charged billions of pounds a year in membership fees for little in return. They also cited sovereignty and democracy, and they wanted Britain to take back full control of its borders and reduce the number of people coming here to live and/or work. One of the main principles of EU membership is free movement, which means you don t need to get a visa to go and live in another EU country. The Leave campaign also objected to the idea of ever closer union between EU member states and what they see as moves towards the creation of a United States of Europe. Who wanted the UK to stay in the EU? Then Prime Minister David Cameron was the leading voice in the Remain campaign, after reaching an agreement with other European Union leaders that would have changed the terms of Britain s membership had the country voted to stay in. He said the deal would give Britain special status and help sort out some of the things British people said they didn t like about the EU, like high levels of immigration - but critics said the deal would make little difference. Sixteen members of Mr Cameron s Cabinet, including the woman who would replace him as PM, Theresa May, also backed staying in. The Conservative Party was split on the issue and officially remained neutral in the campaign. The Labour Party, Scottish National Party, Plaid Cymru, the Green Party and the Liberal Democrats were all in favour of staying in. US president Barack Obama also wanted Britain to remain in the EU, as did other EU nations such as France and Germany. What were their reasons for wanting the UK to stay? Those campaigning for Britain to stay in the EU said it gets a big boost from membership - it makes selling things to other EU countries easier and, they argued, the flow of immigrants, most of whom are young and keen to work, fuels economic growth and helps pay for public services. They also said Britain s status in the world would be damaged by leaving and that we are more secure as part of the 28 nation club, rather than going it alone. What about businesses? Big business - with a few exceptions - tended to be in favour of Britain staying in the EU because it makes it easier for them to move money, people and products around the world. Given the crucial role of London as a financial centre, there s interest in how many jobs may be lost to other hubs in the EU. Four of the biggest US banks have committed to helping maintain the City s position. But HSBC will move up to 1,000 jobs to Paris, the BBC understands. Some UK exporters say they ve had increased orders or enquiries because of the fall in the value of the pound. Pest control firm Rentokil Initial says it could make 15m extra this year thanks to a weaker currency. Others are less optimistic. Hilary Jones, a director at UK cosmetics firm Lush said the company was terrified Boris Johnson was one of the most prominent Leave campaigners about the economic impact. She added that while the firm s Dorset factory would continue to produce goods for the UK market, products for the European market may be made at its new plant in Germany. Who led the rival sides in the campaign? Britain Stronger in Europe - the main cross-party group campaigning for Britain to remain in the EU was headed by former Marks and Spencer chairman Lord Rose. It was backed by key figures from the Conservative Party, including Prime Minister David Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne, most Labour MPs, including party leader Jeremy Corbyn and Alan Johnson, who ran the Labour In for Britain campaign, the Lib Dems, Plaid Cymru, the Alliance party and the SDLP in Northern Ireland, and the Green Party. Who funded the campaign: Britain Stronger in Europe raised 6.88m, boosted by two donations totalling 2.3m from the supermarket magnate and Labour peer Lord Sainsbury. Other prominent Remain donors included hedge fund manager David Harding ( 750,000), businessman and Travelex founder Lloyd Dorfman ( 500,000) and the Tower Limited Partnership ( 500,000). Who else campaigned to remain: The SNP ran its own remain campaign in Scotland as it did not want to share a platform with the Conservatives. Several smaller groups also registered to campaign. Vote Leave - A crossparty campaign that has the backing of senior Conservatives such as Michael Gove and Boris Johnson plus a handful of Labour MPs, including Gisela Stuart and Graham Stringer, and UKIP s Douglas Carswell and Suzanne Evans, and the DUP in Northern Ireland. Former Tory chancellor Lord Lawson and SDP founder Lord Owen were also involved. It had a string of affiliated groups such as Farmers for Britain, Muslims for Britain and Out and Proud, a gay anti-eu group, aimed at building support in different communities. Who funded the campaign: Vote Leave raised 2.78m. Its largest supporter was businessman Patrick Barbour, who gave 500,000. Former Conservative Party treasurer Peter Cruddas gave a 350,000 donation and construction mogul Terence Adams handed over 300,000. Who else campaigned to leave: UKIP leader Nigel Farage is not part of Vote Leave. His party ran its own campaign. The Trade Union and Socialist Coalition is also running its own out campaign. Several smaller groups also registered to campaign. Will the EU still use English? Yes, says BBC Europe editor Katya Adler. There will still be 27 other EU states in the bloc, and others wanting to join in the future, and the common language tends to be English - much to France s chagrin, she says. Will a Brexit harm product safety? Probably not, is the answer. It would depend on whether or not the UK decided to get rid of current safety standards. Even if that happened any company wanting to export to the EU would have to comply with its safety rules, and it s hard to imagine a company would want to produce two batches of the same products. How much does the UK contribute to the EU and how much do we get in return? The UK is one of 10 member states who pay more into the EU budget than they get out, only France and Germany contribute more. In 2014/15, Poland was the largest beneficiary, followed by Hungary and Greece. The UK also gets an annual rebate that was negotiated by Margaret Thatcher and money back, in the form of regional

55 November Issue 1 The CBPG Magazine 55 development grants and payments to farmers, which added up to 4.6bn in 2014/15. According to the latest Treasury figures, the UK s net contribution for 2014/15 was 8.8bn - nearly double what it was in 2009/10. The National Audit Office, using a different formula which takes into account EU money paid directly to private sector companies and universities to fund research, and measured over the EU s financial year, shows the UK s net contribution for 2014 was 5.7bn. If I retire to Spain or another EU country will my healthcare costs still be covered? This is one of those issues where it is not possible to say definitively what would happen. At the moment, the large British expat community in Spain gets free access to Spanish GPs and their hospital treatment is paid for by the NHS. After they become permanent residents Spain pays for their hospital treatment. Similar arrangements are in place with other EU countries. If Britain remains in the single market, or the European Economic Area as it is known, it might be able to continue with this arrangement, according to a House of Commons library research note. If Britain has to negotiate trade deals with individual member states, it may opt to continue paying for expats healthcare through the NHS or decide that they would have to cover their own costs if they continue to live abroad, if the country where they live declines to do so. What will happen to protected species? Dee, from Launceston, wanted to know what would happen to EU laws covering protected species such as bats in the event of Britain leaving the EU. The answer is that they would remain in place, initially at least. After the Leave vote, the government will probably review all EU-derived laws in the two years leading up to the official exit date to see which ones to keep or scrap. The status of Special Areas of Conservation and Special Protection Areas, which are designated by the EU, would be reviewed to see what alternative protections could be applied. The same process would apply to European Protected Species legislation, which relate to bats and their habitats. The government would want to avoid a legislative vacuum caused by the repeal of EU laws before new UK laws are in place - it would also continue to abide by other international agreements covering environmental protection. How much money will the UK save through changes to migrant child benefits and welfare payments? We don t exactly know because the details were never worked out. HM Revenue and Customs suggested about 20,000 EU nationals receive child benefit payments in respect of 34,000 children in their country of origin at an estimated cost of about 30m. But the total saving would have been significantly less than that because Mr Cameron did not get the blanket ban he wanted. Instead, payments would have been linked to the cost of living in the countries where the children live. David Cameron said as many as 40% of EU migrant families who come to Britain could lose an average of 6,000 a year of in-work benefits when his emergency brake was applied. The DWP estimated between 128,700 and 155,100 people would be affected. But the cuts would have been phased in. New arrivals would not have got tax credits and other in-work benefits straight away but would have gradually gained access to them over a four year period at a rate that had not been decided. The plan will never be implemented now. Will we be barred from the Eurovision Song Contest? We have consulted Alasdair Rendall, president of the UK Eurovision fan club, who says: All participating countries must be a member of the European Broadcasting Union. The EBU - which is totally independent of the EU - includes countries both inside and outside of the EU, and also includes countries such as Israel that are outside of Europe. Indeed the UK started participating in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1957, 16 years before joining the then EEC. Has Brexit made house prices fall? As with most elements of the UK economy, not enough solid data has been published yet to accurately conclude the Brexit effect on house prices. Industry figures have pointed to uncertainty among buyers and sellers that could potentially change the housing market. So far, the most significant research has come from the respected Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, which has published the conclusions of a survey of Eurovision Song Contest its members. This primarily records sentiment among surveyors. It found that house prices are expected to fall across the UK in the three months after the referendum vote. However, the dip in prices is only expected to persist over the 12 months from June in London and East Anglia, surveyors predict. House prices were already slowing in central London, owing to the fall-out from changes to stamp duty rules in April. Separate figures from property portal Rightmove suggested the average asking price of houses coming on to the market in England and Wales fell by 0.9%, or 2,647, in July compared with June. It said that agents had reported very few sales had fallen through as a result of the vote. Many potential firsttime buyers would welcome a fall in house prices, with ownership among the young falling owing to affordability concerns. Investors in property, or those who have paid off a mortgage and hope to leave homes as inheritance would be unhappy with a long-term reduction in value. What is the red tape that opponents of the EU complain about? Ged, from Liverpool, suspects red tape is a euphemism for employment rights and environmental protection. According to the Open Europe think tank, four of the top five most costly EU regulations are either employment or environment-related. The UK renewable energy strategy, which the thinktank says costs 4.7bn a year, tops the list. The working time directive ( 4.2bn a year) - which limits the working week to 48 hours - and the temporary agency workers directive ( 2.1bn a year), giving temporary staff many of the same rights as permanent ones - are also on the list. There is nothing to stop a future UK government reproducing these regulations in British law following the decision to leave the EU. And the costs of so-called red tape will not necessarily disappear overnight - if Britain opted to follow the Norway model and remained in the European Economic Area most of the EU-derived laws would remain in place. Will Britain be party to the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership? Ste, in Bolton, asked about this. The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership - or TTIP - currently under negotiation between the EU and United States will create the biggest free trade area the world has ever seen. Cheerleaders for TTIP, including former PM David Cameron, believe it could make American imports cheaper and boost British exports to the US to the tune of 10bn a year. But many on the left, including Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, fear it will shift more power to multinational corporations, undermine public services, wreck food standards and threaten basic rights. Quitting the EU means the UK will not be part of TTIP. It will have negotiate its own trade deal with the US. What impact will leaving the EU have on the NHS? Paddy, from Widnes, wanted to know how leaving the EU will affect the number of doctors we have and impact the NHS. This became an issue in the referendum debate after the Leave campaign claimed the money Britain sends to the EU, which it claims is 350m a week, could be spent on the NHS instead. The BBC s Reality Check team looked into this claim. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt warned that leaving the EU would lead to budget cuts and an exodus of overseas doctors and nurses. The Leave campaign dismissed his intervention as scaremongering and insisted that EU membership fees could be spent on domestic services like the NHS. Former Labour health secretary Lord Owen has said that because of TTIP (see answer above) the only way to protect the NHS from further privatisation was to get out of the EU.
