Summary: |
The ever more presence of Spanish citizens abroad makes it necessary for Spain to have each
time a much more advanced administrative structure. Although Spain, unlike other European States, does
not have a consular act, it has a widely developed legal framework that regulates the exercise of consular
powers. In the last few years, the ways and means at the disposal of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
Cooperation have increased notably. Nevertheless, this trend has somewhat come to a standstill due to
the current economic crisis. The importance of the consular activity, its proximity to citizens and its
media scope have turned it into a paramount component of the State�s foreign action and into a key factor
in evaluating the performance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation. Hence the need to get
back on the path that is now impeded by the current economic situation, thereby permitting that the
consular function has more improved instruments that allow Spain to rise to the occasion. |
