Chapter II of Title I of Law 56/2003 of 16 December 2003 on Employment regulates the Public Service of State Employment, determining, among other things, its nature and legal status, organization and competence.

The additional provision of the aforementioned Law provides that the National Employment Institute is renamed the State Employment Public Service, retaining the legal, economic, budgetary, patrimonial and personal, as well as the same legal personality and nature as an autonomous body of the General Administration of the State.

As far as its organic structure is concerned, it has continued in force for the National Institute of Employment in Royal Decree 1458/1986 of 6 June, as amended by Royal Decree 377/2001 of 6 April, despite the fact that The Employment Law gives new functions and powers to the Public Service of State Employment. Account should also be taken of the tasks arising from the new system of vocational training for employment which the Agreement of 7 February 2006 concluded between the Government and the Social Partners in the framework of the Social Dialogue, In the case of the Commission, the Commission has taken into account the fact that, in the light of the Commission's decision, the Commission has not yet taken into account the fact that the aid is not compatible with the internal market. the need for closer coordination between active policies and unemployment protection for their adapting to the current distribution of competences between the State and the Autonomous Communities, once practically the process of transferring the management of the active policies to them has been completed, in addition to the framework determined by the Strategy European for Employment.

Finally, the Agreement for the Improvement of Growth and Jobs, signed on 9 May 2006 as a result of the Social Dialogue Table, and its reflection in the sixth provision of Law 43/2006 of 29 December 2006, for the (i) improvement of growth and employment, provides for measures to strengthen active policies and public employment services and to improve the protection of workers in the face of a lack of employment, and expressly calls for the need to be implemented by the Government a comprehensive plan of modernization of the Public Service of State Employment that will include necessarily "a Strategic Plan of Human Resources of the Public Service of State Employment to improve its organizational structure and the employment and pay situation of its staff."

All this makes it necessary to undertake a review of the organic structure of the State Employment Public Service by ensuring cooperation and coordination between the administrations involved where the National Employment System is constitutes as the nuclear instrument to achieve this purpose.

In its virtue, at the initiative of the Minister of Labor and Immigration, and on a joint proposal of the Minister of Public Administrations and the Minister of Economy and Finance, and after deliberation by the Council of Ministers at their meeting on 1 August 2008,
