Annual Report 2010 by the National Preventive Mechanism against Torture judgement issued on 11 May 2005 that affected articles 30, sections 1, 2, 3, 6, 8 and 9 (visits and communications); article 34 (measures for upholding law and order in detention centres) and section 5 of article 33 (seizure). It should be noted that Royal Decree 557/2011 approved a new Regulation for developing Public General Act 4/2000 that dedicates an article to CIEs (art. 258) and defers, in its section 8, to a specific regulation of the detention regime for foreign nationals. As a result of a 251. The Ombudsman, when submitting its report on legal support for foreign recommendation made by nationals in Spain to the Spanish Parliament in 2005, recommended the creation the Ombudsman, the figure of detention judge has been created of the figure of detention judge, as it was noted that the necessary individual and effective supervision of detention was being hindered, as this befell the judge ordering it in the first place and who did not always coincide with the areas where the foreign national was detained. It should be welcomed that Public General Act 2/2009, which amended Public General Act 4/2000, introduced, in its article 62.6, the figure of judge empowered to supervise the stay of foreign nationals in detention centres and in holding areas for persons refused entry into the country, which corresponds to the examining magistrate where the centres are located. Of the 9 centres in Spain, 252. Spain has a total of nine detention centres, with inspection visits being 2010 saw inspection visits made in 2010 to six of them [Algeciras (Cadiz), Barcelona, Madrid, Malaga, to the 6 with the highest percentage of occupancy Murcia and Valencia] with seven establishments. This is because the Isla de las Palomas facilities in Tarifa (Cadiz) are formally considered to be an annex to the Algeciras CIE. On this very matter, the Ombudsman has drawn attention to the lack of precision of the legal statute governing these establishments and the ensuing absence or insufficient provisioning of some of the basic services a detention centre should provide to comply with its governing regulations. Priority has been given to the inspection visits to the CIE with the highest percentages of average occupancy (all the centres visited exceeded 55%). Along these lines, note should be made of the sharp drop in internees at the three centres in the Canary Islands [Puerto del Rosario in Fuerteventura and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Las Palmas) and Santa Cruz de Tenerife], where the number of inmates has fallen from 21,591 recorded in 2006 to 616 in 2010. 112 THE OMBUDSMAN OF SPAIN
