Royal Decree 1599/2004, of July 2, provided a new organic structure to the Ministry of the Interior in order to adapt it to the development of the political program of the Government and to guarantee the effectiveness of the Ministry in the essential responsibility for ensuring the security and freedom of the citizens. The experience acquired in these years now advises to proceed to a new organization of the Ministry of the Interior with the fundamental objective of collecting organizational reforms that will allow to improve its management, especially in the field of the Forces and State Security Bodies, administratively integrate the victims of terrorism, respond adequately to the increasing relevance of the Department's international activity, and address the need to adapt means available to new forms of crime. With the new structure contained in this Royal Decree, a further step is taken and it deepens along the lines of coordinating and unifying the operational structures of the Department to achieve greater efficiency in the response to the demands. social issues that arise. The central axis that has presided over the Ministry's performance over the past two years has been the adoption of measures to ensure the operational coordination of the National Police National Corps and the Civil Guard, in the belief that The European Union's efforts to combat crime and terrorism were strengthened and strengthened, and the security of the citizens was therefore enhanced and strengthened. Thus, the Executive Committee for the Unified Command (CEMU), with which the first step was taken towards the Unified Command of both Bodies, and the National Anti-Terrorist Coordination Center (CNCA), were created in the field of anti-terrorism. The report also said that the information that the State Security Forces and the National Intelligence Center (National Intelligence Center) has as well as the State Security Forces and the National Intelligence Center is jointly coordinated and analyzed. Coherently, with the present restructuring it is intended to give a final and definitive step in the same direction: the creation of a new Directorate General of the Police and the Civil Guard, which will recast, through its suppression, the up to now General Directorate of the Police and Directorate General of the Civil Guard. With the new Directorate General, it is thus ensured that a single command for the State Security Forces and Corps will coordinate, accordingly, the actions of the same in the prevention and repression of crime, in the protection of the Citizens ' freedoms and fundamental rights. The creation of this single General Directorate does not imply, however, organic or functional alterations in the Corps that make up the State Security Forces and Corps. The National Police Corps and the Civil Guard maintain their respective organizational structures, their competencies, their different legal status, which will allow us to advance their specialization and the adoption of specific measures. to ensure the increased professionalization in the development of their respective activities and the improvement of the conditions of their members. In the light of the same considerations and in order to maintain the necessary coordination between police activity and prison policy, the General Directorate of Penitentiary Institutions is integrated into the Secretariat of State for Security. This is a time which is deepening in the implementation of alternative measures to the deprivation of liberty, with the basic objective of promoting social reintegration and responding to the legislative changes that have an impact on this line of action. It is also appropriate to strengthen the structure of the Department in the field of international relations, in order to bring it into line with the growing demands in this area, given the importance that international relations have in dealing with the The phenomenon of immigration and, in general, all the problems of foreigners. Finally, with regard to the fundamental objectives of the reform, the Ministry of the Interior centralizes the integral attention to the victims of terrorism and the relations with the other Public Administrations and associations that have as The aim is to protect them, by integrating in a new Directorate General the tasks that the High Commissioner for Victims ' Support has so far developed. In particular, the organisational restructuring of the Department covers the following issues:

1. In the field that directly affects the Department's head, they are incorporated into the structure, as directly dependent organs, two collegiate bodies of great importance in the field of citizen security, which did not reflect sufficient in Royal Decree 1599/2004 of 2 July: The National Anti-Terrorist Coordination Centre (CNCA), maintaining the terms contained in its regulatory regulations (Council of Ministers Agreement of 28 May 2004).

The Executive Committee for the Unified Command of the State Security Forces and Corps (CEMU), created by Order INT/1251/2004, of 7 May, whose relevance is reinforced by placing it under the authority of the Department; likewise, its composition is adapted to the structural changes operated in the rest of the Royal Decree, in such a way that it will be integrated by the Secretary of State of Security, the Undersecretary, the Director General of the Police and the Guardia Civil, the Director General of Penitentiary Institutions, the Director of the Cabinet of the Minister and the The Director of the Coordination Cabinet of the Secretariat of State for Security and the Office of the Civil Guard, acting as Secretary the Director of the Coordination Office of the Secretariat of State for Security and maintaining the validity of the the functions and powers of the Committee.

2. In the field of the Secretariat of State for Security, it is where the most important organizational restructurings are carried out.

Thus, in the first place, in order to improve the effectiveness and coordinated action of the State Security Forces and Corps, the Directorates General of the Police and the Civil Guard (with the rank of Deputy secretary), uniting both in a new Directorate General of the Police and the Civil Guard (with the same rank of Undersecretary). This is an organic restructuring of a great entity, given the material, personal and functional dimensions of the Directorates-General, which are unified, but which, without a doubt, will enable the tasks entrusted to the Forces to be carried out State Security Bodies in a more comprehensive, homogeneous and coordinated manner, thereby improving citizen security and safeguarding citizens ' rights and freedoms. Secondly, in line with this organizational strengthening of the departmental bodies with responsibility for public safety, the organic dependency of the Directorate General of Penitentiary Institutions, which comes out of the field, is modified. of the Secretariat to be integrated into that of the Secretariat of State for Security. The aim is to include, at the same level of decision, public security policy, both from a police perspective, that is to say preventive or repressive, and from a criminal point of view and social reinsertion. In addition to this new organic and functional dependency, a new General Administration of the Middle Open and Alternative Measures is created in the Directorate General of Penitentiary Institutions. were exercised by the General Administration of Penitentiary Treatment and Management, in order to improve and increase the management, coordination and monitoring of the inmates subject to alternative penalties and security measures. Thirdly, the increase in the role of internal affairs in the field of the European Union and in other international fora requires the strengthening of an administrative structure which will enable the organisation and preparation of the increasingly intense activities of an international nature, which must be carried out in the field of the competences of the Ministry of the Interior. Therefore, a new Directorate General for International Relations and Foreign Affairs, composed of two General Subdirectorates, one of International Police Cooperation, is hereby established as a subsidiary of the Secretariat of State for Security. actions and programmes of action of the technical bodies of the Ministry of the Interior in the Diplomatic Missions, and another of International Relations, Immigration and Foreign Affairs, to coordinate the lines of action of the Department within the Council of the European Union, monitoring of Community decisions which affect the Ministry of the Interior and, in particular, on international activities in matters of immigration and foreign affairs. In the fourth and last place, as far as the Secretariat of State for Safety is concerned, it has been considered necessary to carry out certain organic restructurings in the field of the Units with a range of Sub-Directorate-General under the responsibility of the Secretariat of State. In particular, two Gdones, the Analysis and Prospective and the Concerted Action, are deleted in both cases on drug trafficking, money laundering and related crimes-whose functions are to be assumed by other organs of the Department-, to give input to two new ones whose functional areas aim to be strengthened. Thus, on the one hand, the Center for Intelligence Against Organized Crime (CICO), which will be responsible for the development of strategic intelligence in the fight against all types of organized crime, is created with the rank of Subdirectorate General. as, where appropriate, the establishment of criteria for the operational coordination of the services acting in the cases of coincidence or concurrence in the investigations. The action of this body will be decisive in the alleged joint or concurrent intervention of the operational units of the State Security Forces and Corps in the fight against organized crime. On the other hand, in the field of training and studies in the field of security, in the face of the current breakdown of these competences in different sectoral bodies, it is now necessary to unify them through the Cabinet of Studies of Security Internal Security (GESI), dependent on the Secretary of State for Security and with the rank of Subdirectorate General, who will be in charge of supporting, through the elaboration of studies and investigations on the situation and trends of security, to the senior bodies and managers of the Ministry of the Interior in the elaboration of the policies of The Committee of the European Union is responsible for the development and promotion of specific training actions and the expertise of senior police officers. 3. In the area of the Secretariat, a new Directorate-General for the Support of Victims of Terrorism is created in the first place (with the consequent suppression of the General Subdirectorate for the Attention to the Citizen and the Assistance to the Victims of Terrorism the Technical General Secretariat), which assumes the exercise of the Department's powers in the field of care and support for the victims of terrorism. It will depend on two Subdirectorates General, one of Support to Victims of Terrorism, and one of Aid to Victims of Terrorism and Citizen Attention, thus creating an administrative structure appropriate to the nature of the functions. (i) This change brings about the removal of the High Commissioner for the Support of Victims of Terrorism, since, having met its essential objectives, it is considered more appropriate to reside in the Ministry of the Interior with a single character, from the (i) the organization of the European Union, the European Parliament, the Council and the European Parliament. Second, the assignment of new functions to the Secretariat is also relevant in order to obtain greater homogeneity in the policies of personnel and remuneration, which are referred to all the personnel of the Department, regardless of of the regulatory specific rules. In this connection, the Secretariat also assumes the planning and coordination of infrastructure and material policies in the field of security, which is why the Directorate-General for Infrastructure and Security Material-up to now The secretary of state for security, who has been in the Secretariat of State for Security, is joining the Secretariat, maintaining the two Subdirectorates General that have so far been part of the Secretariat. In this respect, a more uniform line of action will be obtained in this field, being assumed by the competent body in the field of common services of the entire Department and in charge, therefore, of the infrastructures and material of the other organs of the Ministry. Finally, in relation to the holder of the General Directorate of Support for Victims of Terrorism, the possibility is made use of the possibility provided for in article 18.2 of Law 6/1997, of April 14, of the Organization and the Functioning of the General Administration of the State, allowing it not to be necessary for the condition of public official to fall on the State. Thus, among other arguments, this exception would be justified by the fact that the functions of that Directorate-General are not, in general, type-approved to those of the majority of the administrative bodies of the Administration with this rank, develop a series of people who have suffered, directly or indirectly, the consequences of the scourge of terrorism and therefore need multidisciplinary attention, from the social, labour, educational, health, etc. In many cases this assistance should be provided in particular with the associations which bring together the victims, which would justify the need for a person who has experience in relations with civil society and the This is a very specific area, such as the victims of terrorism. In its virtue, at the initiative of the Minister of the Interior, with the agreement of the Minister of Defense regarding the Civil Guard, on the proposal of the Minister of Public Administrations and after deliberation of the Council of Ministers at its meeting of the day September 8, 2006,
