Its functions include proposing, without binding force, the 11 Sundays and holidays whose opening is authorised annually by the Ministry. It is also the body responsible for receiving information on regulatory projects, declarations of areas of high tourist influx and those projects that the Ministry considers to be of interest.
The Valencian Trade Observatory is made up of representatives of business organisations in the commercial distribution sector, including SMEs; chambers of commerce; organisations that act in defence of consumers; municipal markets; trade unions; the Valencian Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FVMP) and various bodies of the Generalitat.
