27. Following a survey of ownership carried out in the late 1960s, ownership of the totality of the walls was vested in1973 in the Spanish State, through the Ministry of Education and Science. It was transferred to the Xunta de Galiciaby Royal Decree in 1994.
The Spanish Constitution reserves certain rights in relation to the heritage to the central government. However,these are delegated to the competent agencies in the Autonomous Communities, in this case the Xunta de Galicia.For the Lugo walls the Xunta is in the position of both owner and competent agency. Under the Galician HeritageLaw the Xunta is required to cooperate with the municipal authorities in ensuring the protection and conservation oflisted monuments, and certain functions are delegated down to them. The Xunta operates through its General

Directorate of Cultural Heritage (Dirección General de Patrimonio Cultural), based in Santiago de Compostela.
The Master Plan for the Conservation and Restoration of the Roman Walls of Lugo (1992) covered proposals foractions to be taken in respect of research and techniques of restoration. This was followed in 1997 by the SpecialPlan for the Protection and Internal Reform of the Fortified Enceinte of the Town of Lugo, which is concernedprincipally with the urban environment of the historic town. However, it has a direct impact on the protectionafforded to the walls, in terms of traffic planning, the creation of open spaces, and regulation of building heights.Another planning instrument which affects the walls is the Special Plan for the Protection of the Miño [river],approved by the municipality at the beginning of 1998.
There is at the present time no management plan sensu stricto for the walls in operation in Lugo: work is continuingon the basis of the 1992 plan. Nor is there a technical unit specifically responsible for the conservation andrestoration of the walls. It is against this background that serious consideration is being given to the creation of anindependent foundation, under royal patronage and with representatives from government, academic, voluntary, andbusiness institutions, to work with the General Directorate of Cultural Heritage of Galicia. The work plan of thisbody would include the development and implementation of integrated conservation, restoration, and maintenanceprogrammes.
28. The WH area is managed directly by the Divisional Forest Officer from the Forest Dept. A nationalsteering Committee co-ordinates institutions for Sinharaja as a National Wilderness Area, BiosphereReserve (1988), and WH site. There are two management plans, prepared in 1985/86 and 1992/94,which emphasise conservation, scientific research, buffer zone management, benefit-sharing, andcommunity participation.
29. In 1979, the Committee decided to inscribe the Ohrid Lake on the World Heritage List under natural criteria (iii). In1980, this property was extended to include the cultural and historical area, and cultural criteria (i)(iii)(iv) wereadded.
30. The “Hadrian’s Wall” which was previously inscribed on the World Heritage List, is part of the transnationalproperty “Frontiers of the Roman Empire”.
31. Extension of "Gough Island Wildlife Reserve".
32. (renomination under cultural criteria)
