Fining the purchaser is just ludicrous. It could be a visitor, just off a cruise ship or flight - no-one would expect them to know local laws. It is certainly the seller who should be penalised - he / she is the person responsible for knowing and adhering to local laws. Visitors should be welcomed, not subject to this ridiculous treatment.
Seeing that this week alone four boats filled with immigrants have been captured off the coast of Mallorca, they had better hurry up, as if not, there won’t be room for all of them, ecotax or no ecotax.
It still amazes me that something described as illegal is so difficult to stop.
I agree totally with the sentiment of this article. We live close to the cathedral and it is often almost impossible to descend the steps and walk around due to the shear number of traders displaying their wares on the ground. Why must the local shop owners, who pay their taxes and rents suffer? The police just don’t seem to care.
