The Spanish law on the far-reaching registration of personal data, which was due to enter into force on 1 October this year, has been postponed again.
This is reported by the ANVR.
The introduction of the law (Royal Decree 933/2021) has been postponed for the time being until December 2, 2024.
The Spanish Ministry of the Interior has decided to do this after a lot of criticism from the (international) travel sector.
‘The postponement is a start, but there is still too much uncertainty for the law to enter into force on 2 December without any changes. We still think that the law should be completely off the table’, says Daniëlle de Best, Manager Legal and Consumer Affairs at the ANVR.
The Spanish government has announced that a meeting will be held on October 4 for representatives from the tourism and travel sectors to discuss the later entry into force of the law.
It is expected that more will be known after this. (Photo Shutterstock).
