number plates approved by the

order on September 15.

should integrate and reflect the cultural and territorial plurality of
the nations and regions that integrate the Spanish State, recognised by
the Spanish Constitution, and argue that the demands to not contradict
at all the community directive that establishes the compulsory presence
on the new number plates of the symbol of the European Union and the
member state, as this norm does not forbid, together with these
distinction, the presence of a symbol of a region, city or autonomous
community.
