The initiative has had the votes against the PP, ERC, IU-ICV, BNG and UPyD. The parliamentary groups of CiU and PNV decided to abstain in the vote by the Congress once they interest with the Government and the PSOE maintained the prevalence of conventions autonomic on the State level in the event of concurrence, according to parliamentary sources have reported. In this way, the Government ensures that the standard is ratified by the Cortes with independence that along as Bill can be modified with the introduction of amendments. According to parliamentary spokesman of CiU, Josep Antoni Duran Lleida, has highlighted the Government is committed to include in the preamble of the Act the linkage between wages and productivity.
