To issue a favorable report
Explanation:
“Informar favorablemente o desfavorablemente”, Spanish legalese. This is my explanation of its meaning, both in a general scenario, but also applicable to this particular case.
Both previous answers are wrong because the “approval” does not depend on the intermediate organ (= comisión de docencia del centro adjudicado), which “merely” issues a report, in this case endorsing (= favorablemente) a final approval of the applications (= solicitudes). But the final decision of approval (or refusal) does NOT depend, and this is the key point here, on this intermediate organ, but on the final decision body, in this case a single person, the “titular de la Dirección General de Ordenación Profesional del Ministerio de Sanidad”, who will make the final decision, i.e. either in favour or against the approval (= resolución que proceda).
So I have to strongly disagree with the previous suggestions, but also with the translation “to process the request”, because “informar favorablemente” is certainly more than a mere processing of the request, it is a “favourable report” requesting the acceptance of the applications by this final decision “body” (here a single person).
Which means that in this intermediate stage NOTHING is decided, it is just an intermediate stage prior to the final decision.

This is a different context, but the meaning of “informar favorablemente” is identical. As we can see in this particular case, the “Fiscal General del Estado”, i.e. the Spanish Prosecutor General or head of the Public Prosecutor's Office, merely makes a proposal or suggestion (= hará la propuesta en tal sentido), but he does not decide anything.

@Catherine. To further clarify things:
The “recognition of prior learning” process encompasses several stages. It is no surprising that you are puzzled since this process is complex even for Spaniards themselves (after all we are dealing here with the intricacies of the Spanish administration, a labyrinth in itself!).
Stages of the recognition process (abridged):
1) Once the application is submitted by the interest party (= medical student), it is analyzed by the first “body” (better than “organ”), which is the “comisión de docencia del centro adjudicado”.
2) This body, the “comisión”, issues a favorable report (NO approval at this stage, the key point!, they do not have the capacity to approve or reject the submitted applications). They just issue a report to allow the continuation of the process in case of a favourable assessment. If the report were unfavourable, the process would come to an end at this early stage! Hence, a favourable report is the prerequisite for the process to be continued.
3) The application is then submitted to the “Registro Nacional de Especialistas en Formación” (cannot say much about what they do, no context available!).
4) After examination (= consulta) through the “comisión nacional de la especialidad de la plaza adjudicada”, the application is then forwarded to the final body, yes, the “decision-making body”, which is the head (= persona titular) of the “Dirección General de Ordenación Profesional del Ministerio de Sanidad”. This person has the final say in the matter and can approve (yes, finally, the approval) or reject the request for recognition.
Well, this is it :-). I hope to have contributed by means of this additional explanation to a better understanding of the whole process.
