Calvia—The Calvia council yesterday approved a motion which could mean that the days of our "green certificate" residence card are numbered.

Councillor Angela Guerrero, who has spearheaded the campaign calling for the re-introduction of our old-style residence cards, said that the foreigner´s department at the Calvia council had received hundreds of complaints against the green certificate which is not valid identification because it does not include a photograph.

The motion was approved at the council meeting by both the ruling Partido Popular and the opposition socialist group. The next step will be to create a committee, consisting of a legal representative and various councillors and experts to take the motion forward to the European Union.
