The Spanish Strategy for Science, Technology and Innovation 2013-2020 contains the objectives, reforms and measures that need to be addressed in the whole field of R & D & I to enhance its growth and impact, assuming an important step for the construction of the European Research and Innovation Area.

For its part, the 2013-2016 State Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation is the instrument through which the State General Administration develops the objectives of the Strategy and represents a a major simplification effort to make it easier to manage relations with the public, covering all the aspects necessary to ensure, with the appropriate levels of funding, the sustainability of the Spanish Science, Technology and Innovation System.

2. Efficient Vehicle Incentive Program (PIVE Program)

The government highly values the effects of the Efficient Vehicle Incentives Program (PIVE Program), so it considers it necessary to continue, given the favorable results that are being obtained in terms of improvement of the balance of trade, the generation of economic activity in the automotive sector and ancillary industries and others linked to it (marketing, insurance or financing of equipment) and, therefore, in terms of creation or maintenance of the levels of employment. The impacts of the five Programme calls (PIVE, PIVE-2, PIVE-3, PIVE-4 and PIVE-5) are also very important in environmental terms, by reducing CO_{2 emissions} and pollutants.

The procedure for the direct award of grants from the Efficient Vehicle Incentives (PIVE-5) program was approved by Royal Decree 35/2014 of 24 January. Article 3.1 of the royal decree allocated a budget of EUR 175 million for the programme, and Article 7 established its effects from the day following the date of publication of the programme in the Official Gazette of the State. produced on 28 January 2014), ending 12 months after that date, or, if it occurred before, when the above available budget is exhausted. Moreover, Article 3 of the royal decree also established, on the one hand, that, if there were any remaining in the PIVE-4, it would be incorporated into the PIVE-5 and that, in any event, the available budget would be considered to be exhausted for the implementation of the Programme when the last budget reserve is made, totalling the amount corresponding to it.

In this context, the good reception of the PIVE-5 programme has led to the fact that the allocation of EUR 175 million and the remaining appropriations for the previous PIVE programmes has not been sufficient to maintain the validity of the during the 12 months initially foreseen, as the last budget reserve has been made by 4 June 2014, which implies the end of the life of the Programme.

Since the removal of the PIVE programmes would have a negative effect on the car market which is deemed necessary to avoid, the Government has chosen to establish a sixth call for the programme (PIVE-6) which would be in the Energy Efficiency Action Plan 2011-2020 approved by the Council of Ministers Agreement of 29 July 2011. The procedure for granting grants under the PIVE-6 Program shall be established in accordance with the provisions of Law 38/2003 of 17 November, General of Grants.

As regards the financing of the budget of these aids, given that at the time of adoption of the measure insufficient and adequate credit is available in the current General Budget of the State, it is necessary to enabling by granting extraordinary credit.

The reasons for extraordinary and urgent need to justify the granting of extraordinary credit by royal decree-law are constituted by the need not to delay the payment of the aforementioned aid in order to obtain the continuity of the benefits described.

In its virtue, in use of the authorization contained in article 86 of the Constitution, on the proposal of the Minister of Finance and Public Administrations, according to the Council of State and after deliberation of the Council of Ministers at their meeting on 20 June 2014,
