Discover the subsidiary organisations the City Council is provided with to run its services better.
For the purposes of carrying out its functions more effectively and efficiently in the service it offers the public, in accordance with functional specialisation and management streamlining criteria, City Council has created a range of subsidiary
entities with their own legal identity: independent bodies, municipally owned business entities and municipal trading companies.
In addition, for the purposes of participating in decision-making in areas where it may be affected or collaborating
with other authorities or private entities in areas of mutual interest or shared jurisdiction, City Council has direct or indirect holdings, and in different proportions, in a series of undertakings and is represented in several consortiums, foundations
and associations.
These are municipal public bodies with their own legal personality and management independence. They are governed by administrative law and are tasked, under the operational administrative decentralisation system, with carrying out promotional activities, benefit activities and public-service management.
These are municipal public bodies that are tasked with carrying out activities, managing services and producing assets of public interest, subject to consideration. They are governed by private law, except when running their government bodies, exercising the administrative powers they are granted and in certain areas specifically regulated by legislation.
These are companies funded entirely with municipal capital. They are trading companies created by City Council with exclusively municipal share capital, for managing services under a decentralised private-law system. They are companies governed wholly by commercial law. These companies, which the public administration runs its public services through, operate in the market under the same conditions as strictly private trading companies. Municipal-majority trading companies are companies that Barcelona City Council has a shareholding of over 50% in.
Trading companies in which the City Council has a shareholding, either directly or through its subsidiary trading companies, of under 50%.
