After several months of the legislature, experience has revealed the desirability of modifying the distribution of functions performed by Royal Decree 257/2012, of 27 January, for which the structure is developed the basic organic nature of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport, mainly in the field of the management bodies of the Secretariat of State for Education, Vocational Training and Universities, and the Under-Secretary for Education, Culture and Sport, for greater efficiency and effectiveness in the management of responsible units. For this reason, it is necessary, first of all, to amend Article 6, which refers to the powers corresponding to the Directorate-General for Evaluation and Territorial Cooperation, in order to concentrate all the functions related to the cooperation with autonomous communities in the Subdirectorate-General for Territorial Cooperation. Secondly, Article 7 is amended, which regulates the powers of the Directorate-General for Vocational Training, which is given a new wording which affects both its paragraph 1, where it relates again, with the amendments necessary, the cast of powers corresponding to this general direction; as to its paragraph 2, in this case in order to correctly assign the functions that correspond to each of the three units with the organic level of sub-direction general who are dependent on such a management centre.

On the other hand, the Motives Exhibition of Law 10/1991, of 4 April, on administrative powers in the field of bullfighting, collected a double scope of the intervention of the General Administration of the State referred to the feast of the bulls. On the one hand, the powers of public order and citizen security are regulated in relation to public spectacles and, on the other hand, the promotion of culture, in accordance with the provisions of Article 149.2 of the Constitution. In order to achieve a correct articulation of the matter within the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport, it is necessary to modify the location of the functions, of transversal scope, relating to the promotion and protection of bullfighting, the operation of the Taurine registers, and the secretariat of the National Consultative Commission on Taurus, which Royal Decree 257/2012, of 27 January, attributes to the Directorate General of Fine Arts, Archives and Libraries, so that they pass be integrated into the Department's Secretariat.

Also, and given the interrelation of the functions assigned by the Subdirectorate General of Information and Communications Technologies and the General Subdirectorate of Attention to the Citizen, sub-direction is When it comes to being called the Office of Attention to the Citizen, it is convenient that both are dependent on the same management body in order to ensure greater coordination between them so that the Office of Attention to the Citizen, currently dependent on the Technical General Secretariat, it becomes dependent, like the other, directly on the Deputy Secretary for Education, Culture and Sport. In addition, and as novel functions, the technical part of the institutional social networks and the coordination of the accounts of these networks are distributed respectively between the two sub-addresses.

On the other hand, and following the publication of Order ECD/1982/2012, of 13 September, creating the Messes of the contracting authorities of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport and the Board of Contracting of the Secretary of State for Culture, it is necessary to proceed to the adequacy of the competences attributed in the royal decree modified to the Greater Office, limiting them to the Table of Contracting of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport and of the Secretary of State for Education, Vocational Training and Universities, as the skills of assistance and support to the Bureau and the Board of Contracting of the Secretariat of State of Culture are passed on to the latter through the Subdirectorate General of Economic and Financial Management.

Finally, and already in the final part of the royal decree, two practical problems are solved that are intimately related to the Royal Decree 257/2012, of January 27. In the second additional provision, one of representativeness in the governing bodies of museums, archives and libraries of ownership and state management, so that in those organs with representation of the Ministry, the one that corresponds, if necessary, The Secretary of State for Culture shall be the responsibility of the Secretary of State for Culture, in cases where he is not present. In the first and second final provisions, because it is not the main object of this royal decree, another also of representativeness, since by means of very specific modifications of two real decrees the performance of the Presidency of the Commission on Health and Drug Control and Monitoring to open the possibility that the President of the High Council of Sport may appoint any person with a rank of Director General or assimilated.
