The Undersecretariat has approved the retention schedules for various document series held by the Ministry of Industry and Tourism, in accordance with Royal Decree 1164/2002 (Art. 6.1). This resolution establishes the timeframes and conditions for the management, preservation, or disposal of specific documents, such as public employee payrolls, real estate management files, or information regarding electrical power installations. The measure aims to ensure the protection of Documentary Heritage and the rationalisation of administrative management (Law 16/1985).
