The DOGV corrects errors in the aid decree for the Adam DANA

The DOGV publishes this Monday, November 9, 2026, a correction of errors for Decree 174/2026, of October 23, of the Consell, which approves the regulatory bases and the direct granting procedure for urgent aid to retail trade, the tourism sector, industry, and agricultural and livestock farms affected by the isolated depression at high levels (dana) named Adam, on October 18 and 19. The rectification, signed in València on November 6 by the undersecretary Ricardo Bayona Giménez, affects the base that determines which bodies instruct and manage each modality of aid. The text is disseminated in section III of the bulletin (administrative acts, subsidies, and grants) with the official reference DOGV-C-2026-35121.

The corrected decree was published in DOGV no. 10479 bis, of October 26, 2026, an extraordinary edition of the regional bulletin dedicated to the Generalitat’s response to the dana of October 18 and 19. The regulation approves the regulatory bases and the direct granting procedure for subsidies for four productive areas hit by the storm: retail trade, the tourism sector, industry, and agricultural and livestock farms.

The noted error is located in the sixteenth base, “Instructing and managing centers,” whose section 1.a) lists the economic activities of the economic activities tax (IAE) that can apply for the retail trade line, in accordance with Royal Legislative Decree 1175/1990, of September 28. The original wording omitted a complete heading from the commercial scope, which left a group of activities out of the management.

What exactly changes

The text published on November 9 orders the replacement of section 1.a) of the sixteenth base. Where it said:

• “Grouping 64 (except heading 647.5), Grouping 65 (except group 655) and Grouping 97 groups 971 and 972”.

It must now say:

• “Grouping 64 (except heading 647.5), Grouping 65 (except group 655), heading 677.9 of Grouping 67 and Grouping 97, groups 971 and 972”.

The incorporation of heading 677.9 expands the perimeter of potential beneficiaries of the retail trade line and, therefore, the set of companies that can apply for and justify the subsidy before the competent management center for trade matters.

Who instructs and manages

The sixteenth base assigns the instruction, processing, and management of aid for retail trade to the competent management center for trade matters, within the structure of the Conselleria of Industry, Tourism, Innovation and Trade. This conselleria is precisely the department upon which the Undersecretariat that signs the correction of errors depends.

The correction does not alter the rest of the articles of Decree 174/2026: it is limited to letter a) of paragraph 1 of the sixteenth base, referring exclusively to the retail trade modality. The other aid modalities provided for in the regulation—tourism, industry, and agricultural and livestock holdings—maintain their wording.

A regulatory package with chain rectifications

The decree on aid for productive sectors is not the only one in the Adam DANA package that has required amendment. DOGV No. 10476, dated October 22, 2026, published two corrections of errors for decrees from the Consell approved on October 20 and disseminated in DOGV No. 10475 bis, dated October 21.

• Decree 168/2026, regarding urgent aid to municipalities affected by the intense rains and floods associated with the DANA of October 18 and 19: the title read “Decree 144/2026” and is changed to “Decree 168/2026”.
• Decree 169/2026, regarding aid to alleviate the loss of essential goods for natural persons: the title read “Decree 145/2026” and is changed to “Decree 169/2026”.

Both rectifications were published with references DOGV-C-2026-33163 and DOGV-C-2026-33166.

The relevance of this correction is practical: the IAE codes are the gateway to the procedure and determine which bodies process the file. With heading 677.9 incorporated, commercial activities that until now remained in a limbo of fit will be able to submit their application and justification via the retail trade route, which directly affects small businesses and freelancers in the municipalities hit by the DANA.
