TEXT

By Law of September 25, 1941, the National Institute of Industry (INI) was created, as an entity governed by public law, whose objective was to " propel and finance, in the service of the Nation, the creation and re-emergence of our industries ... ". The INI was configured as an instrument to support the economic autarky policy imposed by an authoritarian state. The Institute was to act in those sectors where the private employer was absent. A model of public initiative based on the principle of subsidiarity was therefore adopted which, combined, subsequently, with the nationalisation of non-profitable private companies, contributed to the growth, indiscriminate and heterogeneous, of the sector. public in Spain.

Years later, and still maintaining the basic principles of this conception of the public enterprise, the economic and social development experienced by Spain and the consequent opening to the outside forced to modify, progressively, the the legal regime of the INI to adapt it to the new situation. To this, the Decree-Law 24/1970, dated December 24, responded.

The promulgation of the Constitution and, consequently, the establishment of a social and democratic rule of law determines the overcoming of the previous model. To this end, the constitutional text recognises, in Article 128, the public initiative in economic activity. This is a recognition that brings as an inevitable consequence a reformulation of the role of the public enterprise. This new concept of public intervention in the economy is also driven by the entry of Spain into the European Communities in 1986. From this moment on, the public sector begins a progressive adaptation to Community law, the axes of which are the improvement of management and adaptation to a more competitive environment.

As a result of this new legal framework, an amendment of the rules applicable to the National Institute of Industry is made necessary: it is established in Article 123 of Law 37/1988 of December 28, of the State generals for 1989.

However, the diversity of situations in which the public companies of the INI were located and, consequently, the different strategies that required their action, together with the need to improve the management, determined the the need to rationalise the shareholding of the Institute to be the holder, differentiating those companies which were liable to be managed with business criteria of those other subject action to special schemes, arising from their particular situation. To this end, it was decided to separate from the set of industrial units of the INI those relating to companies which, in the future, due to the requirements of the single European market, had to develop their activities under free competition, in an anonymous company, participated by the INI, disengaged from the General Budget of the State: "Teneo, Sociedad Anonima". Instead, the direct participation of the INI was maintained in those companies subject to restructuring or conversion plans, operating in activities specifically regulated by the European Community.

Prior to this reordering of industrial public participations, the energy crisis of the late 1970s, as well as the need to coordinate the management of a major economic sector, imposed a diversification of activities that, for its uniqueness, advised the segregation of the INI of those commercial entities whose activity was developed in the hydrocarbon sector. To this end, and pursuant to Law 45/1981, of December 28, the National Hydrocarbons Institute (INH) was created as an entity governed by public law, which subject its activities to private law. The INH was entrusted with the management of public business activities in the field of hydrocarbons.

Also in this sector has been a reordering of activities, mainly motivated by the end of the public monopoly derived from the entry into Spain in the European Community. This has resulted in the formation of a business group: "Repsol, Sociedad Anonima". The INH has therefore fulfilled the objectives for which it was created.

The rationalisation of the public sector is, therefore, a continuous process whose ultimate aim is no other than to obtain greater efficiency, and therefore the survival of two institutes which, at present, have ended, is not justifiable. (a) taking as an essential function the holding of equity shares. This objective of efficiency also requires a distinction, functionally, of activities subject to specific Community rules for those operating in free competition markets. Far, therefore, to return to concepts that have already been overcome, it is intended to set up a less diversified public sector, which will concentrate its efforts on powerful industrial groups of national ownership and, above all, more competitive. Because an economically profitable public sector is also socially profitable. And the social profitability of the public enterprise requires the adoption of a number of measures to promote increased efficiency and competitiveness.

The achievement of these objectives makes it necessary, therefore, to definitively complete the reordering of industrial shares in both the INI and the INH. In view of the sectoral approach which has guided the performance of both entities to date, a criterion based, rather than on the sector of activity, is now imposed on the legal framework applicable to public undertakings as the most natural determinant of their legal form of action.

It is therefore a question of establishing a new institutional system which will make it possible to rationalise, overall, the management of industrial holdings of public ownership, consistent with the changes that have taken place. driven to the configuration of the INI/TENEO group. To this end, two public law entities are created: the State Industrial Agency and the State Society of Industrial Participations.

The State Industrial Agency shall group public holdings in commercial entities subject to industrial restructuring or conversion plans, as well as special arrangements arising from their particular situation. It is a public Ente of those provided for in article 6.5 of the recast text of the General Budget Law, with which it is intended that the management of these entities will be carried out in a framework of greater autonomy and agility.

For their part, the shares of public ownership in the remaining commercial entities will be transferred to a public right entity as provided for in Article 6.1.b) of the recast text of the General Law. Budget, which adopts the name 'State Society of Industrial Participations'. This State Company has as its object the holding of public participations in the companies that are attached to it.

This new institutional arrangement has a special budgetary significance. Thus, to the untying of the General Budget of the State, already produced, of important business groups that will be transferred to the State Society, it must be added that the creation of the Agency and the State Society will release public funds, since, on the one hand, the allocation of the resources obtained by the Company is envisaged for the depreciation of the debt generated by the National Institute of Industry; and, on the other hand, the Agency is prevented from being able to borrow in the performance of its functions.

The philosophy that inspires the creation of both entities is complete by allowing companies attached to the State Industrial Agency to be transferred to the State Society of Industrial Participations when to ensure their viability is stable. It would not, however, be consistent with this philosophy to transfer companies from the State Company to the Agency, since this would call into question the basic principles of an open and flexible organisational model, which is necessary the basis of policies that will consolidate the profitability of the public enterprise.

The urgency of the measure is given by the creation of this new institutional framework, which will have a positive effect on the reduction of the public deficit, one of the priority objectives of the government's policy, when it pays off in the Temporary horizon planned a debt generated by the INI and valued approximately, at 700 billion pesetas. This operation must be approved in good time to allow the General Budget of the State for 1996 to assume it, as well as to the new management of public participations which is established. The process of establishing the new entities should also be initiated as soon as possible, with the consequent transfers of assets, social interests and the appropriate means.

Furthermore, it is appropriate to remove any uncertainty that the adoption of this measure could raise in the markets, affecting the confidence of financial institutions and investors in important business groups with public participation.

At last, this provision affects the companies that are members of these groups in matters relating to their business future and their lines of action in the field of the European Community's rules for what is required. an urgent action to ensure and confirm the consistency of business approaches with Community legislation.

In its virtue, in use of the authorization granted in article 86 of the Spanish Constitution and after deliberation of the Council of Ministers, at its meeting of June 16, 1995,
