While PANS-RAC 4444 would lead one to believe just that--I have been cleared by Sevilla to descend to an altitude that would uncontrovertibly impacted the terrain, near the Martin VOR. I know this because I was on the flight deck, did not hear the clearance, but the crew descended, got a GPWS warning will before reaching the cleared altitude. I then got in the seat (heavy crew operation) queried ATC and got the clearance confirmed. The ATC controller said we needed to provide terrain clearance.
