The paper mill Miquel y Costas & Miquel has had to renounce the aid it had been granted through the PERTE (Spanish Regional Government of Catalonia) due to the delay by the Generalitat (Catalan Government) in granting authorizations for a biomass plant in La Pobla de Claramunt, where it has one of its industrial facilities. The €1.9 million was supposed to be spent by spring of next year, but the company is finding it impossible to obtain the permits and build the plant on time.
