Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The Museo Nacional del Prado becomes a special public agency, with its own legal personality and full capacity to act, under the patronage of the King and Queen and attached to the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport.
  2. Its goals are to preserve and enrich the collections, display them, guarantee public and researcher access, spread knowledge of them, conduct research, and advise the Administration.
  3. The governing bodies are the President (the Minister), the Real Patronato (a board with 20 to 30 members, working as a full assembly and a Standing Committee A small group of deputies that keeps working while the Cortes are dissolved or on recess.), and the Director, appointed by royal decree in the Council of Ministers.
  4. All staff become labor employees, governed by the Workers' Statute and the Museum's collective agreement. Civil servants who join as labor employees move to the special services status.
  5. The Museum has its own assets separate from the State and may buy property; to sell real estate it must notify the Ministry of Finance. Ticket revenue is a public price, and renting out spaces is a fee.
  6. It may create or take part in companies or foundations aligned with its goals, and its commercial contracts follow only the principles of publicity and competition. The Government must approve the new Statute within three months.
