Abstract

The Spanish parliament has recently approved Act 20/2013 of December 9th, on guarantee of market unity. The Act introduces safeguard mechanisms in order to protect freedom of access of economic operators as well as the principle of single license and mutual recognition of administrative authorizations granted by regional authorities. Along with this, the new piece of legislation establishes reaction tools against breaches of legal provisions such as the complain before the Council for Market Unity and the petition of judicial appeal to the National Commission on Markets and Competition (Spanish Competition Authority). Finally, the Act 29/1998 on Administrative Jurisdiction is amended to introduce a special procedure for judicial review of administrative activity afecting market unity.
