Royal Decree 810/2026 establishes the regime for the direct granting of subsidies in agri-food and fisheries matters to entities with a generalist vocation and national scope. The regulation justifies state management over regional management when the activities of the recipient institutions (such as the AZTI Foundation or agricultural risk research centers) exceed the borders of a single autonomous community. The objective is to prevent the territorialization of funds intended for activities of national interest or exclusive State competence, such as territorial sea management or the Combined Agricultural Insurance System.
For research entities and primary sector foundations with a presence beyond regional borders, the regulation ensures they can receive aid managed directly by the State, preventing the fragmentation of funds across autonomous communities. Regional administrations see their management capacity limited over these entities when their activities have a national scope. The fishing and agricultural sectors benefit from centralised management in matters of state competence, such as territorial waters or national agricultural insurance.
