Apologies if this is already posted somewhere but just read this on the bbc and thought it was at least a step in the right direction regarding laws

EU warns Spain over development

Over-building on the south coast is rampant
Over-building on Spain's south coast is rampant

The European Parliament has voted in favour of a report criticising Spanish property laws.

The report says Spanish legislation allowing developers to acquire private land below market rates breaches the European Convention on Human Rights.

MEPs were acting on complaints from Britons and other homeowners who feared their homes might be bulldozed.

MEPs say they hope the vote will increase pressure on the Spanish government to change its laws.

Yes, it is a good first step.  You can read the full report here (and it is worth reading):

http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?type=REPORT&reference=A6-2009-0082&language=EN#_part1_def9

But what now?  Nothing as yet is set in stone.  The 'sanctions' are still only threats.  I would love to throw my cap in the air - but not yet.  

HOWEVER, I do believe there is positive movement  and we should not let up.  Keep on trucking!

A PS to my previous posting.

The most encouraging thing is to listen to Margrete Auken herself speaking.

Use funluvin99's link :http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7965912.stm and you can hear part of her BBC interview.
