Guardia Civil officers have so far confiscated 20,906 fireworks in Andalucia during the festive period, a special unit having been set up to control irregularities in the manufacture, sale, transport and storage of fireworks. Eight establishments have been sanctioned for possessing illegal products, products without proper documentation or storing too many fireworks.
The Guardia Civil unit is monitoring the safety of these products so that buyers obtain pyrotechnics in optimal conditions for use. Fireworks should only be on sale in authorised outlets and the monitoring campaign includes the checking for the necessary licences wherever these products are being offered for sale.
