TheAutonomy statute march includes in its articles various bodies for the promotion of bilateral relations between the State and the Autonomous Community of Aragon: the Aragon-State Bilateral Cooperation Commission (article 90) and the Joint Commission for State-Financial Economic Affairs - Autonomous Community of Aragon (article 109).

The Aragon-State Bilateral Cooperation Commission is on an equal footing, holds the rotating presidency and adopts its agreements by consensus of the two parties. It constitutes the main instrument of relationship between both Governments.

Subcommittee on Regulatory Monitoring, Prevention and Conflict Resolution to prevent and avoid conflicts of competence between the two administrations.
Subcommittee on Agreements and Participation in State Competences and Bodies to promote work on the development of the Statute in the area of mutual cooperation.
Subcommitte on Infrastructures.
Subcommittee on European Affairs and External Action, to articulate the participation of the Community of Aragon in EU matters and in the external action of the State in matters affecting the competences of Aragon.
