Generalitat de Catalunya

The Generalitat constitutes a system made up of agents informed by the principal of coordination of all its organs. This means that each organ must adjust its means not only to its own ends but also to those of the Generalitat Administration as a whole, without impeding other organs or making it difficult for them to fulfil the competencies they have been allocated.  

• Ministries
  The Generalitat Administration is structured by departments or ministries, which are units in which the Government is organised. Each unit assumes the responsibility of managing the matters allocated to it.
• The Government's Secretary
  The Government's Secretary is a dependency of the Presidential Department. It offers assistance and technical support to the Government of the Generalitat.
• Secretariats General
  Each department or ministry of the Generalitat has a Secretariat General. The secretary general is the second authority of the department and, by delegation, represents the minister in a variety of matters and activities. It is the person in the department responsible for matters of administrative and economic management, as well as the hiring of personnel.
• Sectorial secretariats
  They have organic status of Secretariat General, but are focused on a specific area which requires it due to its specificity or to its technical or organizational complexity. For the functions which they haven't been assigned for they are a dependency of the Secretariat General of the Ministry they belong to.
• Directorates general
  Departments are organised into the essential directorate generals that require the specialised services that are integrated within them.
• Territorial organs
  The territorial administration of the Generalitat is based on the territorial delegations of the Government, each of which is headed by a delegate. They represent the Government in its respective demarcations.
• Consortiums
  Consortiums are entities in which the Generalitat participates – through some department – together with other administrative bodies or companies.
• Independent organs and public companies
  Independent organs provide services of a mainly commercial, economic or financial nature. Public companies manage services of an economic, industrial or financial nature by means of private law forms.
