The basic organic structure of the Ministry of the Presidency has been established by two regulatory standards: Royal Decree 542/2009 of 7 April, which restructured the ministerial departments; and the Royal Decree Decree 640/2009 of 17 April 2009 for the development of Royal Decree 542/2009 of 7 April 2009 restructuring the ministerial departments and amending the Royal Decree 438/2008 of 14 April establishing the structure of the basic organic of these departments.

Moreover, for the purposes of Article 18.2 of Law 6/1997, of 14 April, of the Organization and the Functioning of the General Administration of the State, the present Royal Decree maintains the characteristics and reasons which justified the application of the derogation provided for in that Law in relation to the holders of the Directorates-General which are recognised in the current organic structures of the Ministry of the Presidency and of the The Ministry of Public Administrations, and in this sense it is collected in the Disposition Additional first of this Royal Decree.
