# Translation The Government of the United States recommends definitively rejecting Spain's appeal to avoid paying compensation for the cuts approved by the Rajoy Government The Government of the United States has issued an opinion in which it recommends to the Supreme Court of that country to definitively reject Spain's appeal to avoid payment of the awards due to the regulatory change in renewables. The document, which EFE has had access to, signed by the Attorney General, John Sauer, and five other senior officials from the Department of Justice, argues that Spain is obligated to pay its debts given the commitments it made with investors by offering the premiums that were withdrawn retroactively. The litigation stems from the consequences of the change in Spanish regulations for renewable energy compensation decreed in 2013, during the Government of Mariano Rajoy (2011-2018), which meant a reduction in the compensation that these facilities received during their useful life.
