Strategic Subsidies Plan 2013-2015

On 23 April 2013, the Order of the Minister of Employment and Social Security was issued approving the Strategic Subsidies Plan (PES) 2013-2015 of the Ministry of Employment and Social Security.

This is the first Strategic Subsidies Plan approved by a Ministry since the General Subsidies Law was passed in 2003.

According to this law, strategic subsidy plans must include all public subsidies granted and managed by public administrations, the social or public utility objectives that these subsidies are intended to promote and their sources of funding.

The MEYSS PES includes all public subsidies managed by the Ministry and related to employment policy and immigration and emigration policy. These subsidies include those aimed at favouring employment opportunities for the unemployed through active employment and training policies, those aimed at promoting entrepreneurship and the social economy, as well as those aimed at the social integration of immigrants in our country and assistance to Spaniards living abroad.

After being updated in 2014 and 2015, the PES includes 59 subsidy lines with a budget of more than 3.3 billion euros in the 2015 State Budget. 28 subsidies are managed by the State Secretariat for Employment, 27 are managed by the General Secretariat for Immigration and Emigration, 1 is managed by the State Secretariat for Social Security and 3 are managed by the Undersecretariat.

In addition to these 59 public subsidies, the Ministry of Employment and Social Security also manages two of the pillars on which the Welfare State is based and which represent a volume of expenditure of some 150 billion euros annually: the Social Security system and the unemployment protection system. Social security pensions, unemployment benefits and Wage Guarantee Fund benefits are not legally considered to be public subsidies because they have their own constitutional basis or specific legislation.

The most noteworthy elements of the MEYSS PES are the following:

  • Efforts to organise, rationalise and simplify existing subsidies. In fact, by reorienting, deleting or reworking them, the number of subsidy lines has been reduced from 108 in 2012 to 59 in 2015.

This reduction in the number of subsidies allows, on the one hand, a better and clearer definition of the social objectives to be achieved with these subsidies and, on the other hand, it allows us to improve and make the management procedures more uniform and therefore simpler for citizens.

  • The introduction of a greater degree of competition in the awarding of subsidies, which allows for a comparison of the applications submitted and the awarding of subsidies to those applications that are most suitable according to objective criteria to achieve the intended social objectives.
  • The firm commitment to publicity and transparency in the management of the subsidies administered by the MEYSS, as can be seen in the approval of this Strategic Plan and its dissemination through the Ministry's website.

All of this will allow for greater, better and prior knowledge of the different existing public subsidies in the field of employment, immigration and emigration policies on the part of their potential beneficiaries.

  • The application of new instruments to monitor and evaluate the subsidies managed by the MEYSS, which will allow for a more adequate assessment of whether such subsidies are effective and efficient in achieving the different social objectives sought by granting them and which justify their financing from public budgets.

The texts of the Strategic Subsidies Plan 2013-2015 of the Ministry of Employment and Social Security, approved by Order of 23 April 2013, the Report on its implementation in 2013 and its Update for the financial year 2014; the Report on its implementation in 2014 and its Update for the financial year 2015, as well as the Final Report of the PES 2013-2015 and its Annex are inserted below.

In conclusion, the approval and implementation of the PES 2013-2015 makes explicit the will of the Ministry of Employment and Social Security to faithfully comply with the legally established principles that must inform the management of public subsidies.
