The continuation of the reindustrialisation processes undertaken and not yet completed, as well as the persistence of some of the causes that have incited and incited on state-owned public enterprises or private companies, such as As the evolution of the demand for national and international markets or the development of economic and business processes and patterns that take place in these areas, these companies are obliged to continue the adaptation of their structures and their forms of action to the environments in which they operate. These adaptation operations, which are part of the processes of rationalization and modernization of the business segment that have been taking place in our country, have taken a special impact on companies from traditional and intensive sectors of labour force and in other companies belonging to sectors in decline, thus causing severe processes of loss of the productive fabric and the elimination of many jobs in the areas affected by these processes of operations adaptation. Among the effects of these adaptation operations, the reduction or elimination of productive capacity in the affected enterprises is highlighted, which is often accompanied by adjustments of a working nature. Both effects have a negative impact on the productive industrial fabric, affecting the socio-economic variables, income level and employment, mainly in the areas where they exert their influence, which is why they are less-favoured areas for the purposes of their industrial fabric. In order to try to mitigate and to avoid these harmful effects on the whole of the industrial fabric of the less-favoured areas, in particular those in which these effects are more intense, the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade, developing its policies of reindustrialisation and technological dynamisation, has been carrying out support actions aimed at strengthening, regenerating or creating the industrial fabric, and which have a positive impact on the variables (a) the socio-economic reference environment in each case. As in the orders published in the preceding years, since 1997, the content of this order should be highlighted, first of all, by the specific nature of the support of the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade. in response to the indirect negative effects of certain actions affecting the productive capacity of public undertakings in the State sector or other companies in the industrial private sector, which are difficult to foresee in advance, at the same time that they take place in specific, geographically dispersed areas and in which The production of these companies is of great importance. This specific nature of the aid is conditional on its duration and application, which will be the essential ones in order to obtain appreciable results in the target areas, so it may be necessary for them to be granted for several years, but with a variable intensity according to the circumstances. In spite of the lack of temporary concreteness, not only of the origin, but of the duration of the situations that are intended to be met with these supports, which gives rise to the applications of the aids being variable, it is convenient that this order, apart from the above mentioned above, do not include the annual call and refer to a fixed period, 2005-2008. In addition to the specific nature of the aid, the compensatory aim is to offset the effects of the adjustment or adjustment operations of the public and private undertakings concerned. This purpose is exercised in a simultaneous manner or after such action. In this respect, it is worth noting the effectiveness of preventive or simultaneous actions with the initiation of such operations, as they deal with the possible negative effects before they significantly deteriorate the industrial fabric and affect the income and employment levels of the area. On the basis of the above, and in the interests of the effectiveness and effectiveness of the support measures, it is appropriate to concentrate the funds that finance them. This concentration must, in the absence of a priori, establish a scheme for the territorial distribution of expenditure, since such a distribution must be based on an estimate of the demand for aid, which is unknown in general and which comes from a few areas which are not in turn determined in general, with the exception of those where action is repeated for the purposes of the severity of the adjustments to be made. The peculiarities described above give rise to the fact that the management of the aid is carried out by the General Administration of the State. Centralised management is, in fact, justified by the need to: (a) to harmonise the actions in support of the reindustrialisation by the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade in all areas affected by the adjustment or restructuring of State-owned enterprises or enterprises in the segment (b) identify, implement and coordinate the selection, evaluation, monitoring and processing criteria with other entities eligible for aid in the various affected areas of the Spanish territory, in order to avoid possible grievances (c) to enable the compensation of aid with other programmes of the Department; (d) to enhance the actions which are of a nature of technological dynamisation and a remarkable degree of interterritorial relationship and to facilitate the correction of the economic and social imbalances of the regions affected by the reindustrialisation in a compensated manner so that the performances have equivalent effects in all of them. On the other hand, the diversity that exists in the geographical location of the beneficiary areas, as well as the impossibility of providing for new adaptation and adjustment processes in companies in the public sector or in the private sector, are circumstances. which also recommend the distribution and management of aid by an organ of the General Administration of the State to ensure access to them on an equal basis by guaranteeing the principle of equivalence. Notwithstanding the above, without prejudice to the management of the aid by the competent bodies of the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade, the order provides for mechanisms for cooperation with the Autonomous and Local Authorities, as has already been established. done in previous years. These mechanisms come using the formula of the collaboration agreements. This cooperation allows for an improvement in the management of the aid, since these administrations have a more precise knowledge of the industrial fabric of the areas eligible for support in their territorial areas, while at the same time They can provide a greater abundance in the details of the destination of the aid. Furthermore, as an important novelty of this order, the policy of support for the reindustrialisation of the industrially deprived areas, which began in 1997 and which has continued to be uninterrupted to date, is continuing. It is to be emphasized that their determinations have been adapted to the provisions of Law 38/2003 of 17 November, General of Grants. Thus, the management of these aids is governed by the general principles of advertising, transparency, concurrency, objectivity, equality and non-discrimination, effectiveness in meeting the objectives set by the Administration and efficiency in the allocation and use of public resources, as set out in Article 8.3 of Law 38/2003 of 17 November, General of Grants. Finally, this order, which complies with the provisions of Article 17 of the General Law on Subsidies, must be subject to the authorization of the European Commission and, therefore, the payment of the aid, the regulatory bases of which are set, it shall not be carried out until obtaining the same. In its virtue, I have:
