Article 4 of the Organic Law 11/1985, of 2 August, of Freedom of Association and Article 3 of Law 19/1977, of April 1, on the regulation of the right of trade union association, establish the existence of a deposit of statutes of the trade union and business organizations, respectively.

Royal Decree 873/1977, of 22 April, on the deposit of the Statutes of the Organizations constituted under Law 19/1977, regulating the right of association of trade unions, until now regulated the established procedure the effect, having become obsolete in the face of the reality of the electronic administration, without prejudice to the existence of the reasons for the need to give legal personality to the trade unions and business, as well as giving publicity to them.

Law 30/1992, of 26 November, of the Legal Regime of Public Administrations and the Common Administrative Procedure, anticipated the need to fully insert these new instruments into the administrative activity, Since its Article 45, it has been calling for the incorporation of electronic, computer and telematic techniques in the development of its activities and in the exercise of its powers.

Later, one of the objectives of Law 11/2007, of June 22, of electronic access of citizens to Public Services, was the creation on January 1, 2010 of the "e- Administration", establishing the right of the citizens to conduct by electronic means the same steps that can be carried out in an in-person way.

With this royal decree, it is therefore necessary to develop the provisions of Article 4 of the Organic Law 11/1985, of Freedom of Association, and Article 3 of Law 19/1977, on the regulation of the right of trade union association, and to regulate the deposits of the statutes of the trade union and business organizations, while making their adaptation to the electronic administration.

The deposits of the statutes of the trade union and business organizations that are regulated in this standard are not electronic records in the legal sense of that term, but constitute specific deposits of statutes with operation by electronic means.

It should be noted that the Law 11/2007 of 22 June 2007 provides for a basic requirement for public administrations to make it compulsory for communications to be made by electronic means, as well as the minimum content of electronic communications and notifications. In this way, the promoters and representatives of the trade union and business organizations will have to request the deposit of the constitution of these organizations and other acts deposited by electronic means with which a greater agility and effectiveness of administrative action.

This royal decree is based on the effective realization of the rights recognized in Law 11/2007, of June 22, when implementing the electronic administration in the entire administrative procedure of deposit of the statutes of the trade union and business organisations.

However, it should also be borne in mind that imposing an obligation to use electronic means may in some cases prevent access to the registration of any trade union or association, or of its promoters, who lack electronic means. And taking into account that precisely access to the deposit is the form that the unions and the business associations have to acquire legal personality, it is previewed with exceptional character that those trade unions and associations Without electronic means, they can access the register through paper support, assuming the public offices the burden of their incorporation into the deposit by electronic means.

The measures contained in the royal decree are structured in four chapters:

Chapter I delimits the object of the rule and defines all those agreements or acts that are capable of being deposited electronically, as well as the effects of the deposit, which are not other than those of providing personality. legal and full capacity to act on trade union and business organisations.

Chapter II of the royal decree regulates applications for the deposit of the statutes of trade unions and employers ' organisations and other acts of registration, also determining the documentation to be submitted together with the request.

Chapter III regulates the administrative procedure of deposit, clearly establishes the moment of acquisition of the legal personality of the unions and the business organizations, regulates the means of access to the It provides for the existence of a statistical annex in order to provide information on the characteristics of trade union and business organisations.

Chapter IV creates the deposit of statutes of trade union and business organizations of a state or supra-autonomous area with operation through electronic means, and provides for the creation of deposits of territorial scope by the Autonomous Communities in the field of their competences. A central database of the statutes of the trade union and employers ' organisations, which is managed by the Ministry of Employment and Social Security, will be established and will be composed of the information provided by the public warehouse offices. of statutes.

Finally, and in line with the regulation of the adhesions and disties of the trade union organizations of federations and confederations of higher scope, the final provision first incorporates a new paragraph 5 Article 12 of the Rules of Procedure for representation in the company, which establishes how the electoral results are to be counted in these cases.

In the process of drawing up this royal decree, the most representative business and trade union organizations and autonomous communities have been consulted.

In its virtue, on the proposal of the Minister of Employment and Social Security, with the prior approval of the Minister of Finance and Public Administrations, in agreement with the Council of State and after deliberation of the Council of Ministers in their meeting of May 29, 2015,

DISPONGO:
