The Order of 30 January 1997, as amended by the Order of 15 April 1999, regulates the composition of certain collegiate bodies of the Department, it is necessary to adapt their composition to the organizational reforms operated by Royal Decree 1449/2000 of 28 July, amending and developing the basic organizational structure of the Ministry of the Interior.

Basically, the governing body that has undergone variation in its designation and competence is the General Directorate of Security Infrastructures and Materials, including the General Sub-directories of it dependent, which has replaced the former General Directorate of Security Administration. The establishment of the Government ' s Delegation for Aliens and Immigration should also be highlighted, and its incorporation into the collegiate bodies that carry out tasks related to the tasks of the Government.

On the other hand, Royal Decree 1329/1997, of 1 August, of partial modification of the Royal Decrees 1892/1996 and 1885/1996 of 2 August, of the Basic Organic Structure of the Ministries of Public Administrations and the Interior, respectively, consolidated the General Inspectorate of Services and the General Staff Subdirectorate, under the Undersecretariat of this Ministry. This implies the need to proceed to incorporate this modification to all those organs in which the aforementioned Units are present.

Finally, the third additional provision of Royal Decree 2823/1998 of 23 December, which approved the Statute of the Administration of State Security Infrastructures, introduced amendments to the structure of the Technical General Secretariat, in such a way that the functions in the field of statistics and publications, previously attributed to the Technical Office of the Deputy Secretary-General, have shifted to the Office of the Under-Secretary-General for Studies and Institutional Relations, with the necessary addition of the new composition.

This means that, on the basis of legal security, a new Order should be issued to regulate the composition and functions of the Department ' s collegiate bodies, in accordance with the above-mentioned organizational reforms, and to repeal those of 30 January 1997 and 15 April 1999, as amended.
