On July 27, the Spanish parliament approved an emergency
Royal Decree Law to regulate enforcement procedures for
violations of the GDPR in Spain (source document in Spanish).
Although the GDPR is already applicable in Spain, the Royal Decree
Law regulates procedures for conducting investigations of potential
infringements and imposing sanctions. The Royal Decree Law went
into effect on July 31, 2018, and will be in force until the new
Spanish Organic Law is passed in Spain.
