KING OF SPAIN
To all who present it and understand it.
Sabed: That the General Courts have approved and I come to sanction the following law:
PREAMBLE
The purpose of this law is to grant several extraordinary credits and a credit supplement in the budget of the Ministry of Defense for the total amount of 856.440.673.35 euros to pay for the payment of obligations. In the framework of the actions of the General Plan of the Armed Forces (PEA, s), to cover the needs of the General Plan of Munitiation and the construction of works in the Central Military Hospital of the Defense "Gomez Ulla", in the framework of actions related to the outbreak of Ebola in Spain.
1. Contractual obligations for Special Armament Programs (PEA, s).
The Special Programs (PEA, s) are those derived from the Agreement between the Ministries of Defense and Industry, Energy and Tourism, aimed at the development and manufacture of equipment and weapons systems in which two key characteristics: to be pre-financed in whole or in part with credits from the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism and to make payments from the Ministry of Defense from the moment of its reception and commissioning. The choice is determined by a combination of political, economic, industrial and technological needs; they are also of enormous importance to the Spanish industrial fabric and require a great deal of financial resources.
With these weapons equipment and systems are intended to meet the needs of the modernization of our Armed Forces, equipping them with the best weapons systems, equipment and infrastructure to support their missions, looking primarily:
(a) Reach an operational standard that will allow to respond to and address the risks and threats related to the defense of Spanish sovereignty.
(b) Meet the commitments made between the EU Member States in the development of the Common Security and Defence Policy to fulfil the tasks set out in Article 28 of the Treaty of Lisbon.
c) Responding to the international commitments acquired by Spain contained in the NATO Defense Capabilities Initiative (DCI), subsequently redefined "Commitments of the Capabilities of Prague".
The financing system is based on advances from the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism for research and development; the payment of purchases is made on the budget of the Ministry of Defense, in which the manufacturer returns the advances to the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism.
The evolution of the world economy and particularly the Spanish economy has caused the continued reduction of the financial resources of the different sections of the State Budget. As a result, the levels of commitment of payments made in the accession and/or the procurement of modernisation agreements and in particular the PEAUs have been diverging from the financial capacity of the Department. This has led to successive reprogramming in order to adapt the forecasts, retaking the appropriations towards those items with the highest priority, all in order to ensure the maintenance of the minimum levels guaranteed by the The operation of the units will give greater attention to the forces displaced in conflict scenarios and to the support of the means that improve their security.
The insufficient budgetary allocation requires additional funding to be provided to cover the financial commitments arising from the adjusted contractual commitments. Since the Administration is obliged to pay for contractual obligations, and, together with this, the need not to delay its payment in order not to cause harm to third parties, constitute the reasons of extraordinary and urgent need justify the granting of the extraordinary credit.
2. General Plan for Munitiing.
The General Plan for Munitiating defines and collects all the ammunition needs to be obtained within the duration of the Plan until 2025.
The annual investment capacity that has been available in recent years is insufficient to meet the needs of ammunition, while in order to maintain the contractual commitments acquired and the maintenance of the weapons and material currently in inventory. As a result, the current investment capacity is intended to cover the needs of ammunition for training and the preparation of the force, with the financing of the constitution and the maintenance of the reserve being relegated to the background. " War.
This is why it is necessary to have an extraordinary credit that allows to remedy some of these deficiencies in the present year 2015, focusing the acquisitions towards specific needs, seeking to resolve the deficiencies that present the levels of certain types of ammunition.
