Various circumstances advise the amendment of the said order, on the one hand, to proceed to the creation of two new National Awards, and on the other hand, to modify a point-in-time aspect of the composition of the jury in charge of failing each of the awards.
First, the consideration of the toy as an industry of cultural interest is an irreversible step towards the fair recognition of the toy as an essential element of the cultural heritage because of its pedagogical potential and its relevance in the development of a particular type of society, as well as its enormous value as a cultural product, and, therefore, as an activity worthy of the promotion and protection of culture, that article 149.2 of the Spanish Constitution entrusts the State as duty and essential attribution. The traditional quality of an entire professional sector, the wide implementation of this industry in our fabric of small and medium enterprises as well as the progressive international recognition of the toy as artistic work and its access to the Art galleries and museums, advise that the Public Administration lend its support and prestige to strengthen this sector with undoubted future projection. Among the measures to promote the toy industry, as cultural activity, which the Ministry of Culture can immediately address, it is timely and appropriate to create a new National Award for the Promotion of Creativity in the Toy, together with those already covered by the Order of 22 June 1995, by means of which the extraordinary merits of a professional of that industry, or of an undertaking or institution which has been outstanding for its work in the the dissemination of the cultural values of the toy.
Secondly, the transfer of powers from the Ministry of the Interior to the Ministry of Culture for the promotion and protection of bullfighting, carried out by Royal Decree 1151/2011 of 29 July, enshrines the consideration of the bullfighting activity as an artistic discipline, and a cultural product and, therefore, an activity worthy of the promotion and protection of culture, that article 149.2 of the Spanish Constitution entrusts the State as essential duty and attribution. Among the measures to promote bullfighting, as cultural activity, which the Ministry of Culture can address, the creation of a new National Award for Taurus, together with those already collected by the Order of 22, is appropriate and appropriate. June 1995, by means of which the extraordinary merits of a professional of bullfighting, in all their various manifestations (bullfighter, farmer, entrepreneur, etc.), or of a person or institution that has been highlighted, are recognized on an annual basis. for their work in favour of the dissemination of the cultural values of bullfighting.
Third and last, the purpose of this order is to amend point 4 (1) of the Order of 22 June 1995, which relates to the composition of the jury for each of the awards. With the idea of increasingly involving civil society in cultural management, it is considered necessary to extend the designation of cultural and professional entities specialized in each of the subjects covered by the awards, with the aim of the composition of the jury is represented by the majority of the cultural sectors and associations of recognized prestige that are linked from multiple perspectives to literary, artistic and cultural activities.
In its virtue, and taking into account the competences and functions conferred to the Ministry of Culture in Royal Decree 1132/2008, of 4 July, for which its basic organic structure is developed, I have
