In the Staff Council proposals or suggestions may be made in matters relating to the status and status of military personnel, the exercise of rights and freedoms, the regime of personnel and the conditions of life and With its creation, participation is given to the military, through its associations, to collaborate in the determination of its personnel regime. It is intended that this new avenue of participation be an appropriate complement to the institutional representation that is exercised through the chain of military command and the use of the channels legally provided for in Article 28 of the Organic Law 9/2011, July 27, for the presentation of individual initiatives and complaints by members of the Armed Forces.

The special nature of this administrative body makes it necessary to provide it with a specific legal regime which is fully contained in this Regulation, thereby complying with the abovementioned mandates contained in the Article 47 and in the final provision of the Organic Law 9/2011 of 27 July 2011, being one of the main specialties of that regime, the one concerning the adoption of agreements within the Council of Personnel, which requires the same adopt by unanimous consensus that they are not dealt with by any of its members, thus reflecting on the report to be drawn up. If any repair is made, this report shall contain the different positions reflected in the minutes of the meetings, in accordance with the provisions of Article 50.6 of the Organic Law 9/2011 of 27 July.

It is a question of clarifying the existence of a necessary flexibility and autonomy in the determination of its number of members since, on many occasions, it depends precisely on its peculiar composition. However, this should not imply the failure to apply the austerity criterion, which, among others, has led to the approval of Royal Decree 451/2012 of 6 March, so that in no case will it be permissible for the number of members to receive compensation for assistance, allowances and travel expenses or any other kind of compensation or compensation provided for in Royal Decree 462/2002 of 24 May 2002 on compensation for the purpose of the service, may exceed the limits to which it is refers to Article 6.2 of that Royal Decree 451/2012, depending on the group in which the institution has been classified in question.
