On 11 July the Spanish authorities decided to stop accepting applications for work permits. The decision by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs was condemned as illegal by ten immigrant organisations, since the authorities had previously undertaken to issue 15,000 permits and to accept applications up to the end of the year. To date around 46,000 applications had been received and 4,000 permits issued. After the protests the Ministry said that it had not ruled out an increase in the immigrant quota in September, once the planned 15,000 permits had been processed.
