Cataluña has announced plans to prohibit prostitution on the public highway in the region

I Hate Anti PROSTITUTION - Window Bumper StickerArtur Mas Government in Cataluña has announced plans to prohibit prostitution on the public highway in the region, with fines to be placed on both the prostitutes and their clients.

Interior councillor, Felip Puig, explained that working on the street would be considered as an ‘administrative infraction’, and said that he hoped it would become law before the summer, when the NII road fills up with prostitutes.

Currently some municipalities in Cataluña fine the activity, but the idea is to now have a regional law to bring in standardised legislation. Puig said the objective was to ‘advance in the eradication and abolition of prostitution’, although he admitted that was difficult as the subject currently comes under state administration through the penal code.

One of the main problems reported from the municipalities which do have legislation is the difficulty they have in collecting the fines they impose.
