The European Commission has announced its decision to refer Spain to the Court of Justice of the European Union. According to the European Commission, the move follows Spain's failure to bring its national regulations into compliance with Directive 2005/36/EC, which governs the recognition of professional qualifications across member states.
The decision aims to ensure that Spanish legislation is consistent with the established European framework. Further details regarding the specific discrepancies in Spain's compliance were outlined in an official press release issued by the Commission on 8 July 2026.
