In addition to the need to address the comprehensive study of the administrative reform, it is necessary to give effect to two mandates:
The last Conference of Presidents of the autonomous communities agreed on the creation of a working group, in the bosom of the corresponding sectoral Conference, which develop a rationalization programme administrative, in order to eliminate bureaucratic red tape, simplifying rules and procedures, and avoid duplication.
In the programme for the implementation of the liquidity Fund for the autonomous communities are planned the creation, within the Council of Fiscal policy and financial, of a working group to agree on a code of good practices to rationalize spending and increase savings.
It becomes necessary, therefore, to make a comprehensive study that equip to both working groups of specific proposals and in which all the reform of public administrations is addressed comprehensively.
