The telematic route will be the only one to carry out various procedures before the Cabildo

The raison d’être of the standard that seeks a more modern and agile processing is specified in the document. The legislator understands that “there are groups of natural persons who, according to their economic, technical or professional capacity, are in a position to interact electronically with this Corporation”. For this reason, the text adds, “the obligation is incorporated for certain procedures.”

The covid-19 pandemic accelerated what seemed to belong to the distant future and it was a unique experience to change the chip of face-to-face contact both for the Cabildo and its officials and for the citizen himself.

selective processes

The exclusive electronic contact includes the procedures for provision of positions and selective processes for access to the employment public as civil servant or labor personnel, either on a permanent or temporary basis. For the staff, the electronic relationship is based on the strategic lines of action of the Corporation in terms of the “necessary digital transition that enables agile management, that provides speed in procedures, as well as immediacy in the provision of information ». This contributes to “reducing tasks with little added value”.

There is the exceptional possibility that, in motivated cases, another option based on traditional methods is valued. Regarding the access procedures, people who intend to occupy a public job “must have a priori sufficient minimum knowledge for a telematic relationship”, since “the relationship as an employee and the activity to be carried out is based on information technologies”. Another route is also reserved for exceptional cases. Finally, public employees participate in the provision processes, “generally from this Administration and, exceptionally, from others”. Due to their condition, “knowledge for the use of electronic media is assumed.”

Grants and scholarships

Regarding the scholarships for university students convened by the Cabildo de Tenerife “those interested have availability of electronic media and technical capacity, given their need to interact with their study centers and take the courses object of the call » The same happens with the linguistic immersion scholarships, aimed at students who are going to study ESO and Baccalaureate. The Regulation points out that “the registration of these groups is carried out electronically”, This “leads us to conclude that they have the technical capacity to relate in this way with the administration”. In fact, in recent years, “this immersion scholarship has been convened exclusively online without any problem having arisen in this regard.” In addition, the aid for this group called by the Ministry “also, is carried out exclusively online.” The same as with previous students occurs in the case of mobility grants for Vocational Training or those for artistic studies.

Catering and accommodation

In this same sense, it is necessary to include catering activities, accommodation or the responsible declaration of the start of a holiday home; that is, the procedures in terms of tourist police. The restoration includes restaurants, bars, cafeterias and guachinches. Among the accommodation establishments are hoteliers – conventional, urban and rural hotels – and non-hoteliers – emblematic houses, apartments and vacation homes. The natural persons who carry out this type of procedure “have technological knowledge to advertise themselves and hire tourist catering and accommodation services – web pages, applications to consult the menu, the location and the reviews of diners, channels of tourist offer,… »–. The document considers that “it is a fully extended practice in this increasingly internationalized and globalized sector; therefore, they have not only the means but also the technical capacity to use electronic means”.

waste rate

This new requirement includes the payment of the fee for the provision of services included in the Special Territorial Plan for the Management of Waste on the island of Tenerife (Pteor). The users of the waste treatment service provided by the Cabildo, the Regulation explains, “are waste managers, whose communication or authorization is processed before the Autonomous Community of Canary Islands». The transfers, in addition, “are subject to formal obligations such as the prior signing of a treatment contract between the facility of origin and the destination”, as well as “filling in the identification document to be presented to the recipient of the waste”. Therefore, the regulation concludes, “it is the exercise of a continuous activity that justifies economic capacity and professional dedication for processing by electronic means.”
