The State Pact for the Reform of Justice establishes the basis for an ambitious modernization process that affects all the agents of the judicial field. Procurators as representatives of the parties in the process must actively ensure a representation of the quality, fast and effective rights of the citizens in dispute. Therefore, point 20 of the State Pact provides for the approval of a new General Staff Regulations to provide a new regulatory framework for the exercise of the profession.

The General Council of the Courts ' Attorneys, in use of the powers of self-regulation that it has attributed, has elevated the government to a proposal for a new General Statute for the Attorneys that the Government wants approve by Royal Decree, a proposal that is motivated by a whole set of new circumstances.

Law 1/2000, of 7 January, of Civil Procedure, in its explanatory statement underlines the important role of the procurators in the new design of the acts of communication, allowing through optimal management by Some of the procurators will be reduced to delays in processing. In this sense, the Law of Civil Procedure provides that the procurators, in their capacity as representatives of the parties and as professionals with technical knowledge about the process, receive notifications and transfer to the contrary part written and documents. The Law attributes to the procurators new functions in the process, among which the service of reception of communications, organized by the professional associations and that is located in all the judicial buildings of the civil order, stands out. The new responsibilities set out in the Civil Procedure Act, as well as the State Pact's provision for the reform of the Justice system in relation to the promotion of the use of new technologies in the Schools of Attorneys notification, they have their true reflection in this statutory rule.

The new General Staff Regulations of the Courts of Spain effectively respond to the need to update the regulations of this professional collective that were regulated by the General Staff Regulations. Prosecutors of the Courts of Spain, approved by Royal Decree 2046/1982, of July 30. The modernization of the Procura, according to the new assigned powers, will allow a representation of the citizen of higher quality to the Justice, streamlining the procedure thanks to the use of the new technologies by the procurators.

The new Statute provides for access to the profession in response to the need to ensure the specific preparation in the exercise of the profession of the Prosecutor and to the desirability of establishing formulas that are to be approved by the (a) the other Member States of the European Union or of the Agreement on the European Economic Area of 2 May 1992, all in anticipation of the content of the future Law on Access to the Exercise of the Professions of Advocate and Procurator, in accordance with with the criteria set out in point 20 of the State Pact for Justice Reform.

The new regulation contemplates the association of procurators as a channel for professional practice. This can enrich the professional practice of those procurators already in exercise and those others with less professional experience, which will also allow to face the challenges of a changing society in which the use of new technologies This is undoubtedly a new professional challenge.

Territorial demarcations are created for the professional exercise, always coinciding with one or more judicial parties, so that due to their geographical proximity the requirement for procedural inmediation is even more guaranteed. In this way, the client's interests are more effectively represented and guarantees.

Significant progress is achieved in the relations between the Attorney General and the client, with the possibility of schools organizing services to ensure the professional civil liability of the Attorney General. This ensures that the rights of the citizen are to a greater extent faced with a hypothetical negligent professional performance.

Moreover, the Statute is in line with the new autonomic reality, with the existence of the Councils of Autonomous Community Colleges established in accordance with the autonomous regulations.

Finally, the introduction of the vote by mail in the corporate elections, among the new features incorporated in the Statute, is aimed at facilitating and expanding participation in the elections, thus strengthening the democracy in the collective structure and functioning, in compliance with the constitutional mandate.

The previous General Staff Regulations of the Courts of Spain were approved by Royal Decree 2046/1982 of July 30. The legislative reforms undertaken since then and the modernization needs of the Administration of Justice make it necessary to update the regulation of the exercise of the profession of attorney.

Law 2/1974, of 13 February, of Professional Colleges (as amended by Law 74/1978 of 26 December of the Rules of Procedure of the Professional Colleges, by Law 7/1997 of April 14, of Liberalizing Measures in In the case of Soelo and of Professional Colleges, and by Royal Decree-Law 6/2000 of 23 June, of the Intensification of Competition in the Markets of Goods and Services), it provides that the Professional Colleges are governed by their Statute and by the Regulations of internal regime in development of those.

For these purposes, it provides that the General Councils shall draw up for all the Colleges of the same profession the General Statutes, which shall be subject to the approval of the Government through the competent Ministry.

Thus, the General Council of the Courts of Attorneys of the Courts of Spain, in accordance with Article 6.2 of the Law of Professional Colleges, has drawn up a draft of the General Staff Regulations that the Ministry of Justice submits to government approval.

In its virtue, on the proposal of the Minister of Justice, in agreement with the Council of State and after deliberation of the Council of Ministers at its meeting of 5 December 2002,
