Santa Cruz de La Palma Cooperation Agreement

Overview

The Santa Cruz de La Palma city council officially joined a cooperation agreement on October 8, 2025, aimed at streamlining the appointment of temporary staff for public administrations across the Canary Islands.

This move follows the council's adherence to a broader regional pact signed in December 2024 between the Canary Islands government and FECAM, the federation representing local authorities.

  • Under Spanish legislation, such agreements must be published within 20 days of signing to ensure transparency and public awareness.

This transparency allows residents and job seekers to stay informed about the municipality’s participation in regional staffing strategies.

By formalizing their commitment, Santa Cruz de La Palma agrees to adhere to the terms of the original agreement, including future modifications, until the cooperation pact lapses.

The deal also includes measures for data protection, ensuring residents’ personal information remains secure.

Objectives and Benefits

  • Create a more coordinated approach to hiring temporary workers.
  • Potentially reduce bureaucratic delays.
  • Improve service delivery.

For residents, this could mean:

  • More efficient employment procedures.
  • Better planning for public sector employment needs in the region.
