Article 27.6 of Law 11/2007, of June 22, of electronic access of citizens to Public Services, states that, in regulation, the Public Administrations may establish the obligation to communicate using only electronic means, where the parties concerned correspond to legal persons or groups of natural persons meeting certain requirements, and Royal Decree 1671/2009 of 6 November 2009, for which the Article 32 of the Law provides that, by ministerial order, the obligation to communicate by electronic means with the bodies of the General Administration of the State or its related or dependent public bodies may be established in the cases referred to in Article 27.6.

The Spanish Service for the Internationalization of Education (SEPIE) is the Spanish National Agency for the implementation of the Erasmus + programme in the fields of education and training. The Guide for National Erasmus + Agencies sets out the minimum requirements for internal control standards applicable to National Agencies and for the management of the life cycle of projects, in order to enable sound management and efficient Community funds.

As part of the Delegation Agreement signed between the Commission and SEPIE, the Guide for National Agencies contractually commits the Agency among others in the agility of procedures. It is precisely in the annual calls for Erasmus + of the European Commission that applicants are required to submit the online application to the appropriate National or Executive Agency, using the correct electronic form.

The purpose of this ministerial order is to make compulsory, for those interested in the annual calls for the European Commission's Erasmus + programme and in subsequent annual calls, to communicate by electronic means with the autonomous body Service Spanish for the Internationalization of Education (SEPIE), attached to the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport, and the obligation to admit the notification by electronic means.

Currently, the "online" submission of applications through the use of electronic forms is already set out in the European Commission's Erasmus + Call for Calls.

The target population of the Erasmus + programme in the fields of education and training is mainly made up of people active in the fields of education and training (students, trainees, students, etc.). apprentices, trainees, adult learners, volunteers, university teachers or other levels, trainers and professional organisations.

However, the Program reaches these people through the organizations, institutions, agencies and groups that articulate such activities. Therefore, the main stakeholders in the annual calls for the Erasmus + programme are the participating organisations representing the target population. These are legal persons and/or legal representatives of these persons who, on the occasion of their dedication, have infrastructures that allow access and availability to the necessary means to carry out their communication by means of electronic.

In its virtue, with the prior approval of the Minister of Finance and Public Administrations, I have:
