NATIONAL PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

Decree 92/95

Please outline the regulations that determine the conditions under which specialized personnel will be authorized.

Bs. As., 19/1/95

VISTO the provisions of Article 15 of the General Budget and Resource Calculation Act of the National Administration No. 24,447 for the year 1995, and

CONSIDERING:

It is deemed necessary to establish a regulation that determines the conditions under which the National Civil Service will be authorized for the recruitment of specialized personnel and to promote the development of special work programmes that assist in its most effective development.

That while most of the professional, technical and administrative activities of the National Civil Service are attended by permanent and non-permanent staff, including organizationally and budgetaryly, within existing structures and within the regimes governing the administrative career of the State, the growing complexity of the dynamics of the state activity has generated increasing and varied requirements, demanding correlatively, establishing various forms of procurement in order to the characteristics of the State activity.

That this has in practice determined the need to strengthen and complement the work of the National Civil Service through the transient incorporation of professionals and technicians attached to special work programmes, which are currently being developed in different jurisdictions under various forms and modalities of recruitment.

In the face of such a situation, it is considered essential to issue regulations that set the general conditions for the recruitment of such personnel, determining a uniform expenditure policy and establishing a general control over the exemptions in this regard, in accordance with the objectives of control and containment of public expenditure.

Without prejudice to the establishment of these orderly rules of the staff recruitment regime, the effort is made to provide the necessary flexibility to ensure that it is an efficient tool that allows timely response to the various requirements and activities currently to be addressed by the Administration.

On the other hand, it is appropriate to empower the MINISTERY OF ECONOMY AND ARTWORKS AND SERVICES PUBLICS to regulate and interpret the rules contained in this decree.

That the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE POWER is entitled to the dictation of this decree under the emerging powers of Article 99 (1) and (2), 100 (1), and the Transitional Provision DUODECIMA of the NATIONAL CONSTITUTION.
