In a similar number to the one recorded in the previous year (in 2016 it was set at 17, down one unit compared to 2015), the procedure ended with the issuance of recommendation. Twelve recommendations (eight in 2015) were addressed, of which six had general or normative objectives and the other six aimed at improving administrative activity. In the same way, the three initiatives of successive abstract inspection of constitutionality justified the filing of four procedures. In 169 cases, the procedures were closed with the formulation of a call to attention to the competent bodies or services, with a slight decrease in this filing basis compared to 2015 (184 cases). Graph IX Duration of cases closed in 2016 Between a year and a half and two years 4% Between a year and a year and a half 7% Between 271 and 365 days 7% Over two years 4% N = 7119 Up to 30 days 22% Between 181 and 270 days 11% Between 91 and 180 days 18% Between 31 and 90 days 27% The recovery of the procedural pendency reached in 2016 has an impact on the greater weight of procedures with greater antiquity than in previous years. Once this explanation has been made, it is clear that in 85% of the closed procedures the maximum long-term trend has been observed for 12 months from the date of its opening. In 2016, there was a decrease of six percentage points over the previous year. In 22% of the procedures, the decision took less than 30 days, a proportion that reaches almost 50% if we take as reference the threshold of 90 days to complete the procedures. | 25
