Catalan term or phrase: bases estatals
El personal funcionari d’administració i serveis de les universitats públiques es regeix per aquesta Llei, sens perjudici de ***les bases estatals establertes per la Llei orgànica 6/2001, del 21 de desembre, d’universitats,**** i la Llei 30/1984, del 2 d’agost, de mesures per a la reforma de la funció pública, per la normativa dictada en llur desplegament i pels estatuts o altra normativa interna de les universitats.

When they refer to 'bases estatals' are they referring to the Spanish State or to a 'ley de basos' for the Catalan region only???

I am not entirely sure about the relationship between the LLei d'universitats referred to and the Spanish Ley de Universidades (I have checked, they are similar but not identical) .... the State(Spain)/nation (Catalonia) issue is such a hot potato here, that to refer to the Spanish State when it is not intended, would really be putting my foot in it:-)

Failing that, is there any elegant way of avoiding the possible pitfall?

English translation:(without prejudice) to the guidelines established at the level of the Spanish state...
Explanation:
I think there's only one law 6/2001 of 21 December and that is the Spanish Organic Law. This (Catalan) law cannot contradict the more broadly applicable law.

Also I think "estatal" is only used to refer to the Spanish state.

Ta for setting my mind at rest. O.Laws can only be drawn up by the State, so you are absolutely right:-)
