  Interruption of measles transmission in Gipuzkoa (Basque Country), Spain
Gipuzkoa is one of the three regions of the Basque Autonomous Community (northern Spain), with 676 208 inhabitants.
The first case was a 31 year old man from Gipuzkoa who had spent the incubation period in London (laboratory confirmed case) and the second case was the result of transmission from this man to his sister (epidemiologically confirmed case).
In 1995 and 1997 the incidence was already lower than 1 case per 100 000 inhabitants, and the important outbreak of rubella in Gipuzkoa in 1996 [3] was probably the cause of the slight increase in measles notifications observed that year.

In order to understand the role of the Juntas Generales of Gipuzkoa in the Middle Ages two basic terms must first be explained: hermandad and provincia.
A hermandad was an ASSOCIATION or alliance of several localities and regions (boroughs, villages, places, valleys, etc.) which would join forces for a variety of purposes: trade, judicial matters, public order, border defence, etc. Guipuzkoans were active in a number of hermandades starting in the 13th century.
But for the Gipuzkoans of the Middle Ages the word Provincia (henceforth referred to as Province) was used to refer to the TERRITORY over which the Hermandad General exercised its jurisdiction, with its special charter (fueros) and privileges.

 Eustat-R&D spending in relation to GDP surpassed the Spanish average in all three provinces

This increase experienced by Gipuzkoa is similarly reflected if we compare R&D spending as a percentage of GDP, a figure which stood at 1.48% for the A.C. of the Basque Country as a whole.
In Gipuzkoa, on the other hand, the Administration remained the sector that spent the least, but there was a significant rise in the business sector as a result of its specific business fabric (an increase of 19% in relation to 2002).
