I

The pension systems of the countries of the European Union face significant challenges in the medium term arising from demographic phenomena. Low birth rates and the lengthening of life expectancy demand the adaptation of these systems to ensure their long-term viability and maintain adequate pensions for the well-being of older citizens.

Spain is no exception, and the Social Security system must take over the payment of an increasing number of retirement pensions, for an average amount that is higher than those they replace, and which must be paid in a period of time. more and more, thanks to the progress in life expectancy.

The European Union is attaching increasing importance to this challenge. Their competences in this field are limited, but the implications of the process for economic growth and economic and social cohesion are such that the sustainability of pension systems and the momentum of active ageing have been become a priority. The Europe 2020 strategy, which is the reference framework for the coordination of the economic policies of the Member States, is the area from which a policy of guidance and coordination of the efforts of the Member States is promoted. Community institutions and Member States to address the challenge of ageing and its impact on social protection systems.

The result of this approach is the publication by the European Commission of the "White Paper 2012: Aid for adequate, safe and sustainable pensions", with the aim of guiding the Union's policy instruments to support the efforts of Member States to reform their pension systems, and to propose a series of initiatives to promote greater coordination of the monitoring of progress towards common objectives in the framework of the integrated strategy and global Europe 2020. This White Paper is complemented by other documents such as the "2012 Ageing Report" or "Pension Adequation in the EU 2010-2050".

The White Paper details a number of recommendations at the global level and others at Member State level, which emphasise the need to reform pensions both for the demographic forecasts analysed and for the necessary sustainability of public finances, especially in periods of financial and economic crisis such as the current one. While acknowledging the progress made over the past decade, he warns that further progress is needed to ensure long-term viability.

The increase of the retirement age, the extension of the active life and the increase of the participation in the labour market of older workers represent basic elements for the adequacy and sustainability of the pensions. To this end, it is advisable to link the retirement age to increases in life expectancy, to rationalise access to early retirement plans and other early exit routes in the labour market, and to promote the extension of life expectancy. by facilitating access to lifelong learning, by developing employment opportunities for older workers and by encouraging active ageing.

II

The progress made in this area by Spain has been very ambitious and consistent with the European Union's approach. The Social and Economic Agreement for growth, employment and the guarantee of pensions, signed on 2 February 2011 between the Government and the social partners, and the guidelines contained in the Evaluation and Reform Report of the The Toledo Pact, approved by the Congress of Deputies in its session of 25 January 2011, established a solid basis for the reform of the system in a consensual manner. A good part of their proposals were laid down in Law 27/2011 of 1 August on updating, adapting and modernising the Social Security system, which was a very important step towards strengthening the sustainability of the pension system. Spanish. This rule was completed by the Council of Ministers ' Agreement of 28 October 2011, which adopted the Global Strategy for the Employment of Older Workers 2012-2014 (Strategy 55 and above), which sets out the general framework of the policies aimed at encouraging the employment of older people.

The recommendation number 12 of the Toledo Pact Assessment and Reform Report included express references to three elements that still need to be addressed to ensure the sustainability of the Social Security system. and the effective impulse of active ageing. On the one hand, it is necessary to give greater relevance to the worker's contribution career in order to encourage the approximation of the actual retirement age to the legal age of access to retirement. On the other hand, early retirement should be reserved for those workers who have long career contributions. Finally, the co-existence of salary and pension should be facilitated.

On the other hand, the issue of active ageing needs to be addressed in a comprehensive way, as the transition between active and retirement means both social security policy and employment policies. The present law also incorporates the fight against age discrimination on the labour market, as well as the rationalization of the unemployment benefit system in order to strengthen its role in the labour market. linking to their original objectives.

This real decree-law addresses these issues by means of measures in the field of early retirement, partial retirement, the compatibility between active and pension life, the fight against fraud, and the policies of employment. These measures make it possible to meet the EU Council's recommendations of 10 July 2012 in the field of sustainability of the pension system and the drive for active ageing.

III

Chapter I of this royal decree-law regulates the compatibility between the perception of a retirement pension and self-employed or employed work to promote the lengthening of the active life, to strengthen the sustainability of the Social security system, and to take advantage of the knowledge and experience of these workers. This possibility, very restricted in Spanish law to date, is common in the legislation of countries in the environment. It is thus possible for those workers who have agreed to retire at the age of the legal age, and who have long career contributions, to be able to reconcile full-time or part-time employment with the recovery of 50% of the pension, with limited social contribution obligations.

The sustainability of pension systems requires that the essential parameters that determine access to protection or the amount of benefits are adapted to the social and economic circumstances and realities in which that system is unwrapped. It is therefore essential that the age of access takes into account the variation in life expectancy both when access occurs at the legally established age, and in cases where access is possible at a lower age. In this regard, the measures taken by Law 27/2011 of 1 August were insufficient to ensure the viability of the system in the long term by allowing a gradual departure between the legal retirement age and the age at which it is access to early retirement and, on certain occasions, to encourage early exit decisions in the labour market.

in view of these objectives, it is clear that it is appropriate to amend the regulation of early retirement and partial retirement as provided for in Articles 5 and 6 of Law 27/2011 of 1 January 1992. (a) August, as well as that relating to the determination of the maximum amount of the retirement pension where age-reducing coefficients would have to be applied at the time of the causative event, as referred to in Article 163.3 of the recast text of the Law General of Social Security, approved by the Royal Legislative Decree 1/1994, of 20 June, in the the wording of Article 4 of Law 27/2011 of 1 August. While these rules were due to enter into force on 1 January 2013, their application was suspended for three months by the additional provision of Royal Decree-Law 29/2012 of 28 December 2012 for the improvement of management and social protection in the Special System for Home Employees and other measures of an economic and social nature, in order to avoid the existence of consecutive norms that could operate on the same subject in a short space of time, as before the impossibility material that the Management Entities of the Social Security have adapted to this Date the management procedures for the changes to be made.

To this end, Chapter II of the standard is dedicated, in which the modification of the legal regime of the indicated retirement arrangements is undertaken, as well as of other precepts concordant of Law 27/2011, of 1 August, as the Paragraph 2 of its 12th final provision, which lays down transitional rules on retirement pensions.

In view of the imminent completion of the period of suspension mentioned on 31 March 2013, it is appropriate to carry out the modifications envisaged before that date, which justifies the reasons for extraordinary and urgent need for its realization through the present royal decree-law.

In Chapter III, and through Article 9, the final provision of Law 27/2011 of 1 August is amended, in which a new wording is given to Article 12 (6) and (7) of the recast of the Law of the Staff Regulations, adopted by Royal Decree of 24 March 1995 on the regulation of the part-time contract and the contract of relief, incorporating into it the amendments made to this rule relating to partial retirement, maintaining in this sense the proper coordination between the two legal texts.

This final first provision of Law 27/2011 of 1 August has also been affected by the suspension of three months in its application in respect of the one initially scheduled for 1 January 2013, agreed by the provision First of the Royal Decree-Law 29/2012 of December 28, therefore the imminent completion of that period of suspension, justifies the extraordinary and urgent necessity that legitimizes the regulation of this matter by royal decree-law.

Chapter IV regulates economic contributions by redundancies affecting workers of fifty or more years in companies with benefits in order to discourage discrimination against older workers in the framework of the (a) fire-extinguishing measures for the regulation of employment, as well as for rationalising the obligations of undertakings.

First, certain aspects of the additional sixteenth provision of Law 27/2011 of 1 August, which regulates the financial contributions to be made by companies with profits made by the companies, are modified. collective redundancies affecting workers of fifty or more years to compensate for the impact of these processes on the unemployment protection system.

The main novelty introduced is to require the financial contribution exclusively to companies using age as the preferred criterion for the selection of workers to be laid off. Thus, in order for the obligation to be born, there must be a new requirement that the percentage of redundant workers of 50 or more years on total redundancies is higher than the percentage of workers of that age. represent the total of the company template.

On the other hand, a modification is introduced regarding the requirement to obtain benefits, so that, in addition to the companies that have obtained benefits in the two exercises prior to the collective dismissal, they will be included those undertakings which have profits in at least two consecutive economic years within the period between the financial year preceding the collective redundancy and the four economic years after that date.

With this new regulation it is intended to more effectively meet the social and budgetary objectives for which the economic contribution was created, and which seeks to discourage the dismissal of workers of fifty or more years for only reason of their age, to promote their relocation and to compensate for the impact these redundancies generate on the public system of protection for unemployment.

IV

The additional provision first introduces a number of channels designed to prevent the compatibility between the retirement and work pension of Chapter I from being unduly used by undertakings such as a way of reducing costs through the use of this figure in law fraud, by replacing part of the current jobs-outside of the assumptions foreseen in the rule-by new hires, which involve a lower contribution to the Social Security system.

The second and third provisions provide for the arrangements for the compatibility of the pension or retirement pension. In order to continue to make progress in the process of harmonization with the General Social Security Scheme, it is appropriate that this new system of compatibility of the retirement pension applies not only to social security pensions, but also those of Passive Classes, and in similar terms, that is, those caused by retirement or forced retirement, provided that the percentage applicable to the regulator for the purposes of determining the amount of the pension is one hundred per cent, while the retirement or compulsory retirement pension that does not meet these requirements, as well as the voluntary and for incapacity or uselessness for the service, will continue to be governed by the preceding regulations.

As regards the temporary scope of application of the proposed amendment, it is necessary to take into account that such an amendment should not affect those retirement or retirement pensions, the cause of which is prior to 1 January 2009. The reason is that the rules applicable to such pensions currently allow for the compatibility of such pensions with the performance of a job in the private sector without any limitation, whereby the new regulation would entail a worsening of the rights that they currently enjoy. It should therefore only affect the proposed amendment to Article 33 of the recast text of the Law on Passive Classes of the State, approved by Royal Decree 670/1987 of 30 April 1987, to those retirement or retirement pensions whose caused to be later than 1 January 2009, but the economic effects derived therefrom shall in no case be prior to the entry into force of the actual decree-law.

To this effect, article 33 of the recast text of the Law on Passive Classes of the State is amended and the temporal scope of application and the economic effects of the new regulation are determined.

The fourth additional provision entrusts the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate to collaborate and support the management bodies and the common services of social security for the purposes of verifying that access to the In the case of an early retirement arising from the cessation of work for reasons not attributable to the free will of the worker, as referred to in Article 161 (A) (a) of the recast text of the General Law on Social Security, it is produced in accordance with the requirements required in the same.

The fifth additional provision refers to the report on the supplementary social provision, which the Government is required to draw up in compliance with the additional decision of 1 August of Law 27/2011 for specify that it shall contain appropriate proposals to facilitate the rescue of contributions made to pension schemes and funds even if the beneficiary chooses to reconcile the enjoyment of the retirement pension with the job.

The additional provision sixth provides for the National Consultative Commission of Collective Agreements to be aware of the discrepancies arising from the absence of agreement on the implementation of the working conditions laid down in an agreement. collective, where such non-application affects workplaces situated within the territory of an Autonomous Community, if within three months the Autonomous Community has not constituted and put into operation an equivalent tripartite body to the Commission, or a partnership agreement with the Ministry of Employment and Security Social agreeing to the action of the same in its territorial scope.

By the additional provision seventh it is expected that the entities will mainly participate or financially supported by the Fund of Ordered Restructuring Banking as well as the entities, agencies and entities of the sector State public that they do not have the consideration of Public Administration, they must inform an inter-ministerial technical commission, with prior character, both of the beginning of any procedure of collective dismissal and of any proposal of the agreement that will be presented to the representation of the workers during the development of the period of consultations. This is in order to ensure that the authorities have adequate information on the situation in which the institutions are located and on the main economic and social decisions to be taken in their field.

The eighth additional provision states that workers over the age of 55 who have exhausted the unemployment benefit or allowance, or who are not entitled to unemployment benefit, shall be considered as a priority collective for the implementation of active employment policies in order to promote their continued existence in the labour market by extending their working lives, and by the additional provision the Government is entrusted with the creation within a month of a committee of independent experts to produce a report on the sustainability factor of the Social Security, for referral to the Toledo Pact Commission.

By the final provision, the recast text of the General Law of Social Security is amended in several paragraphs:

A third subparagraph is included in Article 215 (1), paragraph 1, in which the requirement for a lack of income for the benefit of the allowance is required, which is the sum of the income of all the members of the family unit, including the applicant, divided by the number of members who make up the family, does not exceed 75% of the minimum inter-professional salary, excluding the proportional share of two extraordinary pages. The purpose of this provision is to homogenise the regulation of the allowance for over 55 years in relation to the rest of the benefits of the system and to strengthen the active employment policies for this group.

By amending Article 229, it is established that the Management Entity for the unemployment benefit may require workers who have been made redundant under Article 208 (1) (c), (d) and (e), the accreditation of the receipt of the appropriate legal compensation. In no case is this a new requirement for access to unemployment benefit, but for a later check to avoid fraudulent behaviour.

By the inclusion of a new paragraph 6 in the eighth additional provision, in order to derogating from the provisions of Article 163 (3) and the age range provided for in Article 166 (2) (a) to the workers referred to in standard 2. of the third transitional provision of Decree 1867/1970, of 9 July 1970, for which the General Regulation of Law 116/1969 of 30 December of 30 December, which regulates the Special Regime of the Social Security of the Sea Workers

Through the modification of the additional 30th provision, it is easier to establish the requirement to be aware of the payment of the contributions to the benefits in the case of workers who are responsible for the income of the contributions, simplifying the work of the applicants for performance in the fulfilment of the required documentation.

Finally, a new additional provision is introduced in the recast text of the General Law on Social Security, the sixtieth fourth, aimed at extending the application of partial retirement to workers or employees. (a) the work of the cooperatives for which they must be included in the social security system as assimilated to employed persons, in the terms of the fourth additional provision, reducing their working time and economic rights in the conditions laid down in Article 12 (6) of the recast of the Law on the Statute of the Workers, approved by the Royal Legislative Decree 1/1995 of 24 March, and to comply with the requirements laid down in Article 166 (2) of the recast text of the General Law on Social Security. To this end, the cooperative will have to arrange with a given duration partner or an unemployed person to carry out, as a worker or a work partner, the day left vacant by the partner who partially retires, with the the same conditions laid down for the conclusion of a contract of relief in Article 12 (7) of the recast of the Law of the Workers ' Statute, and in accordance with Article 166 of the said General Law of the Social Security.

In this way, the scheme of access to the planned partial retirement pension for employed persons is equated for the collective of cooperative partners.

In the second final provision, the Royal Decree-Law 29/2012 of 28 December is amended to bring the wording of Article 6 (2) into line with the provisions of Article 47.One, first paragraph, of Law 17/2012, of 27 In December, the General Budget of the State for the year 2013, as well as Article 50 of the recast text of the General Law of Social Security, in the wording given by Law 27/2011 of 1 August, which entered into force on 1 January 2013, in order to unify the criterion applicable to the calculation of the pensioner's income for the purposes of determine the right to the minimum complement recognition.

The omission in Article 7 (1) (a) of Royal Decree-Law 29/2012, in conjunction with Article 47 (2) (a) of Law 17/2012, of 27 May, is also remedied by this provision. In December, the General Budget of the State for the year 2013 states that pensions recognized by another State will be computed on the same terms as the internal pensions provided by a public social security system, for determine whether or not the economic dependency is to be concurrency for the purposes of the complement recognition by minimum with spouse in charge.

The third final provision amends the recast text of the Law on Infractions and Sanctions in the Social Order, approved by Royal Legislative Decree 5/2000 of 4 August, in order to establish a new very serious infringement. in the case of non-compliance with the obligation to submit to the labour authority the certificate referred to in paragraph 7 of the additional 16th provision of Law 27/2011 of 1 August.

By means of the fourth final provision, the Royal Decree 1493/2011 of 24 October, which regulates the terms and conditions for inclusion in the General System of Social Security of persons participating in the scheme, is amended. in training programmes, extending the time limit for the submission of the application for the subscription of a special agreement until 31 December 2014 and the maximum number of monthly payments under the special agreement.

The fifth and sixth final provisions lay down various technical amendments to Royal Decree 1716/2012 of 28 December of 28 December on the development of the provisions laid down, in the field of benefits, by Law 27/2011, of 1 August, on the updating, adequacy and modernisation of the Social Security system and the General Regulation on procedures for the imposition of sanctions for social order infringements and for the settlement of Social Security, approved by Royal Decree 928/1998 of 14 May.

The seventh final provision contains a series of amendments to Royal Decree 1484/2012 of 29 October on the financial contributions to be made by companies with profits making collective redundancies affecting workers of fifty or more years, who develop the additional sixteenth provision of Law 27/2011, of August 1, and contain the procedure of liquidation and payment necessary for the effectiveness of the contributions. This is intended to adapt regulatory regulation to the changes made to the legal provision to which it develops, allowing for its immediate implementation.

In addition, in a manner consistent with the previous amendment, the final provision of the eighth amendment deletes the first provision of the Regulation on the procedures for collective redundancy and suspension of contracts and reduction of day, approved by Royal Decree 1483/2012 of 29 October.

V

The modification of the regulation of early retirement and partial retirement, as provided for in Articles 5 and 6 of Law 27/2011 of 1 August, as well as that relating to the determination of the maximum amount of the retirement pension where age-reducing coefficients should be applied at the time of the causative event, as referred to in Article 163.3 of the recast text of the General Law on Social Security, in the wording given by the Article 4 of Law 27/2011 of 1 August, which were due to enter into force on 1 January 2013, their application was suspended for three months by the additional provision of Royal Decree-Law 29/2012 of 28 December, it must have effects before the deadline indicated, which justifies the reasons of extraordinary and urgent need for its realization through the present royal decree-law, before the imminent completion of it.

The same reasons for urgent need arising from the period of suspension may be assessed in respect of the modification of the regulation of the part-time contract and of the relief contract referred to in the Article 9, both equally affected by it, in addition to the fact that in this case the date of entry into force of these amendments must be matched to that of the partial retirement, in order to maintain the proper coordination between the legal systems of employment and social security.

For the purpose of maintaining a consistent and uniform treatment with regard to the date of the effects of both Article 8 on transitional rules on retirement pensions and the new wording of the Paragraph 2 of the twelfth final provision of Law 27/2011 of 1 August, as of the fourth final provision, amending the wording of Royal Decree 1716/2012 of 28 December 1995 on the development of that provision in respect of benefits, and in the face of the imminent entry into force of the important changes in the regulation of the Early retirement, as part of a partial retirement, comes to be regulated by the royal decree-law, as the reasons for extraordinary and urgent need for this are justified.

Similar arguments put forward in the preceding paragraph justify the need to regulate by means of this royal decree the compatibility between the retirement pension and the work, as referred to in Chapter I, as well as the the provisions of the first and second additional provisions, which govern the obligation on the part of undertakings to maintain the level of prior employment existing therein and the cooperation of the Labour Inspectorate and Social security with social security institutions in relation to early retirement, thus giving the set of measures to be introduced in relation to the various forms of pension compatibility-work of a uniform date of validity between them, so that with their knowledge the persons concerned will be given the choice, in their case, of the mode that best suits your interests.

The reasons for the extraordinary and urgent need for the various modifications introduced in the General Law of Social Security contained in the final provision have several justifications. As regards the extension of the application of partial retirement to the cooperatives ' partners, the need to coordinate their effects with the changes introduced in the regulation of this type of retirement. As regards the elimination of the requirements for the persons concerned, in order to be able to prove to be aware of the payment of the quotas for the benefit of the benefits, in order not to delay the beneficial effects that this measure will have on the speed and agility in performance recognition procedures.

With regard to the economic contributions in cases of dismissal of workers of fifty or more years of age, the need to reduce the social and budgetary impact of these redundancies in the face of the current serious situation of the labour market and to meet the budgetary commitments, determine the extraordinary and urgent need to regulate this matter by means of a real decree-law.

With regard to the second final provision, in which Article 6 (2) of Royal Decree-Law 29/2012 of 28 December 2013 concerning the minimum allowances for the purposes of adjusting the provisions of Article 6 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 29/2012 is amended its wording to the provisions of the recast text of the General Law of Social Security and Law 17/2012 of 27 December, of the General Budget of the State for the year 2013, as well as the underhealing of the omission of the pensions recognised by another State in order to determine whether or not the economic dependency is to be concurrency of the recognition of the supplement by minimum with spouse in charge of the holder of the pension, the provision itself of the rule by which the date of effect of these amendments is rolled back to 1 January 2013 justify in appropriate manner the reasons of extraordinary and urgent need for its regulation through this royal decree-law.

In its virtue, making use of the authorization contained in article 86 of the Spanish Constitution, on the proposal of the Ministers of Employment and Social Security and of Finance and Public Administrations, after deliberation of the Council of Ministers at their meeting on 15 March 2013,

DISPONGO:
