Order on programmes of assistance favouring emigrants, 15 January 1988.

This Order sets forth programs of assistance containing the following categories of aid: 1) aid for elderly emigrants who are Spanish or in the process of recovering Spanish citizenship and are ill and incapable of working; 2) aid to cover the extraordinary costs related to emigration or the return of Spanish emigrant workers and their families who are in a state of need; 3) aid to facilitate the integration into the workplace of returned Spanish emigrants who are unemployed; 4) aid for emigrant centers, associations, and federations helping Spanish emigrants; 5) aid to organizations to improve the assistance and hospital and cultural activities that they provide to Spanish emigrants; 6) aid to organizations that promote professional and occupational orientation and training to facilitate the professional promotion and insertion in the workplace of Spanish emigrant workers; 7) aid to Spanish emigrants and their families resident abroad who have special abilities and wish to pursue higher education and lack the means to do so in Spain; 8) aid to young Spanish emigrants resident abroad to promote their participation in cultural, sociocultural, artistic, and youth activities; 9) aid to promote the social integration of foreign workers in Spain; and 10) aid to programs involving the exchange of young workers within the European Economic Community. Further provisions of the Order deal with beneficiaries of aid, documentation required, and applications, among other things. This Order repeals provisions of an Order of 30 January 1987 (Boletin Oficial del Estado, No. 42, 18 February 1987, pp. 4952-4964) on the same topic in so far as those provisions are in conflict with the provisions of this Order.
