EU POLICY FOR CIRCULAR ECONOMY. 2.A.1. New regional laws for circular economy in Spain Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx San Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx KEYWORDS: Sustainable development – Circular economy – Environmental law – Innovative regulation – State’s basic laws – Additional regional laws for environmental protection ABSTRACT: Under the presidency of Xxxx-Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, in 2015 the European Commission adopted the EU Action Plan for the Circular Economy (XXXXXXXXXX ARINAS, 2018).

But it is also the case of Xxxxxxxx-Xx Xxxxxx, that has been the first Region to adopt a specific Statute on circular economy (Ley 7/2019, de 29 de noviembre, de economía circular xx Xxxxxxxx-Xx Xxxxxx).
