Supreme Court nullifies part of Royal Decree 35/2023 for environmental violations

The Supreme Court annuls part of Royal Decree 35/2023 due to environmental law breaches, particularly regarding hydrological planning and irrigation in the Segura basin. This affects water resource allocation provisions and requires revision of the Hydrological Plan, based on failure to comply with environmental rights as stated in article 2 of the judgment.

In 2 key points

  1. The part of Royal Decree 35/2023 is declared null due to violation of environmental rights (análisis: Acueducto Tajo Segura Cultivos Planificación hidrológica Riegos Tribunal Supremo)
  2. The nullity affects hydrological planning and irrigation allocations (la nulidad de lo indicado del Real Decreto 35/2023, de 24 de enero)

How it affects those involved

The parties involved in the use of water resources in the Segura basin, particularly farmers and agricultural entities, lose the legal basis for the established allocations. Authorities must review the Hydrological Plan and restructure irrigation decisions. Advisors and representatives of agricultural organisations must adjust their strategies in light of the nullity. The agricultural sector faces uncertainty in crop planning.
