Call for EU funds for Mallorca's smaller businesses

Mora highlighted the important role played by the Social Dialogue Table of government, business and unions. "It has allowed us to have a tourism season and therefore economic recovery."

He reflected on the "uncertain" economic scenario that has returned to Europe because of the rise in infections. "Any uncertainty is bad for the economy and forces us to exercise extreme individual and collective responsibility."

As to the awards, these included one for Mallorca Sense Fam (Mallorca Without Hunger), which has helped over 20,000 people since the start of the pandemic. Other recipients were La Veneciana, an emblematic shop in Palma; Conecta Balear (fibre optics); Rentalbikes Mallorca; Abbacino, a company which manufactures bags and switched to face-mask manufacture; Es Garrover de Mallorca, which promotes carob cultivation; and Col·legi Professional de Graduats Socials for its advice regarding the ERTE furlough scheme.
