REAL DECRETO-LEY OMNIBUS DE TRANSPOSICIÓN DE DIRECTIVAS EUROPEAS

The Council of Ministers has approved a Royal Decree-Law Omnibus that includes, among others, the transposition of European Guaranteed Bonds Directives and Cross-Bridal Distribution of Funds, Copyright and Related Rights in the Single Digital Market, and for improvementand modernization of the rules of protection of consumers of the European Union and the sanctioning regime in matters of consumption.

Directives on guaranteed bonds and cross -border distribution of funds

The Guaranteed Bonds Directive completes the regulation on this financial instrument, which corresponds in Spain with the mortgage, territorial and internationalization bonds.The standard, in line with the recommendation of the European Systemic Risk Board, establishes which entities can issue guaranteed bonds (credit entities), harmonizes the criteria and emission conditions, the coverage set that serves as a guarantee, the applicable rulesIn case of insolvency and resolution, the control set of the coverage set and the obligation to have a liquidity mattress.In this way the protection of investors and the attractiveness of these instruments are improved and progress is made in the creation of a true single market.

Specifically, the directive defines the types of assets that can be part of the guaranteed bond coverage set.In this area, the standard allows the intragroup structures of guaranteed bonds, made by several entities that are part of the same group, as well as the use of coverage assets acquired from other entities.Its role is decisive to facilitate the granting of mortgage loans, loans to regional and local administrations and to support the internationalization of companies.

The minimum asset composition that each bonate issued must incorporate is required, guaranteeing the investor that the value of all the liabilities is covered by the credit rights corresponding to the integrated assets, plus a liquidity mattress, formed by assetsof high liquidity that can cover the net exits of the guaranteed bond program during the next 180 days.

Likewise, the elements for the assessment of the assets that are part of the coverage set are defined, the assessment of each asset must be made at the time it is incorporated into the coverage set, and periodically updating its value.

The standard also establishes the characteristics of the different types of guaranteed bonds.In the case of mortgage cards, the value of mortgage loans incorporated into coverage may not exceed 60% of the value of the property that guarantees it, or 80% if it is a residential property.

It should also be noted that assets must be perfectly identified by means of a special registry that the entity must carry and that will supervise the control set control body.This registry will allow the entity to maintain these segregated assets of the rest and that the effective constitution of the separate heritage can be made in case of contest or resolution.Thus, legal certainty is reinforced while the product credit quality.

In order to increase the protection of investors, a reinforced supervision regime is established, on the basis of two axes: on the one hand the issuing entity must designate an independent body of permanent control of the coverage set, which may be internal orexternal and must be authorized by the Bank of Spain for each broadcast program;And on the other hand, the Bank of Spain is designated as a supervisor agency, in charge of carrying out continuous control, from the authorization of the control body to the authorization of each issuance program.

Additionally, the action is regulated in case of contest or resolution of the issuing entity, establishing the segregation of the set of the heritage of the entity and forming a separate assets from which the bonds will be paid.It is also designated to a special administrator responsible for managing this separate heritage.The objective is to ensure that bonds are not affected by the contest or resolution.

Finally, a sanctioning regime is established, to provide the supervisor with the reaction capacity against possible breaches.The established regime and the typification of violations and sanctions are similar to the regime provided for in the regulations applied to credit entities and will be the responsibility of the Bank of Spain.

The transposition of the Guaranteed Bonds Directive makes the financing of the Spanish financial sector more efficient, since it allows you to better take advantage of your balance to provide financing to the real economy, without sparing to the credit quality of the product.

Cross -border distribution of funds

El Real Decreto-ley Omnibus transpone al ordenamiento jurídico español la Directiva de Cross -border distribution of funds, que se enmarca en la Unión para el Mercado de Capitales. Está dirigida a mejorar las condiciones para la inversión colectiva transfronteriza, avanzando en el proceso de desintermediación de la economía europea y de impulso a la financiación a través del mercado y facilitando el acceso a la inversión de los clientes minoristas entre distintos los Estados miembros, garantizando su adecuada protección.

The transposition of the directive is carried out by introducing modifications to national legislation on collective investment institutions.Specifically, measures are introduced to facilitate and expedite the conditions of fund managers operating in the internal market.

Measures are developed to facilitate the commercialization of collective investment agencies to investors from other Member States, eliminating the requirement of local physical presence in the Destination Member State.

The conditions for the cessation of the commercialization of funds collective investment and alternative funds are clarified in the Destination Member State.Specifically, it seeks to ensure the level of guarantees and protection of investors together with the flexibility of managers to interrupt the commercialization of a fund.

Finally, a regulation of the precommerialization of alternative funds is introduced in order to harmonize their conditions in all member states.

The transposition of this directive enhances the capital market union opens alternative roads to the financing of the Spanish economy without reducing investor protection.

Directives on copyright and digital rights in the single digital market

The Royal Decree-Law also transposes the Directive (EU) 2019/789 that establishes norms on the exercise of copyright and related rights applicable to certain online transmissions of the broadcasting bodies and to the broadcasts of radio programsand television;and the Directive (EU) 2019/790 on the copyright and related rights in the single digital market.

The norm is intended to adapt the copyright to the digital environment taking into account the new user behaviors and introducing measures to correct the imbalances that the appearance of new intermediaries in the digital environment has caused in the market with serious damage to the holdersof rights.The criteria followed in the Royal Transposition Decree have been based on fidelity to the text of the directives.

Measures to correct the value gap

1. Regarding the protection of press publications regarding online uses (article 15 of the European Directive), Royal Decree-Law recognizes a new related right for editors and press authors created in the European Directive.This is a right with its own entity, which is the holders of the publishers of press publications and news agencies regarding the online uses of their press publications, in front of the service providers of the Information Society.

With the transposition of the European Directive, the activity consisting of the reproduction of a fragment of the publication (SNIPPET) by content/news aggregators, for subsequent provision on its own pages or platforms, is regulated in our country.

With respect to the form of management of this right, the Royal Decree-Law is not pronounced in this regard, thus giving the option and freedom to each editor and holder of rights to manage it, well individually, by direct negotiation with the aggregatorscontent digital, or through a collective management entity with a voluntary, not mandatory character.

The negotiation of the authorizations to the content aggregators for the use of these materials will be carried out in accordance with the principles of good contractual faith, due diligence, transparency and respect for the rules of free competition, excluding the abuse of domain position in the negotiation.

2. Regarding the service providers of the Information Society, whose main purpose is to allow userswith an authorization from the rights holder.In this sense, Royal Decree-Law determines that if these providers do not obtain this authorization, they will be subject to a specific responsibility regime (article 17 of the European Directive).

In addition, the Royal Decree-Law establishes in an imperative character a series of norms that seek to ensure that the authors and artists interpreters or performers obtain adequate remuneration and provided by the transfer of their rights.

New limits or exceptions to intellectual property rights

Intellectual property laws can foresee the so -called limits or exceptions to exclusive patrimonial rights, in order to achieve a balance between the interests of the authors and other rights holders and the interests of content users.

The RDL incorporates, within the margins of the MUD directive, the following new limits or exceptions:

a) An exception is contemplated for the benefit of research organizations and institutions responsible for cultural heritage, so that they can carry out, for scientific research purposes, text mining and works data or other benefits to which they have lawful access.For those cases in which the organization that pretendsThat the head of the rights of the affected work establishes a reservation of rights.In this case, a license will be required.Neither of the two previous limits has a remuneration in favor of the rights holders.

b) allows the digital use of works and benefits for the purposes of illustration for educational purposes, in the teaching center recognized by a Member State, regardless of the educational level, to the extent that the uses are justified by the non -commercial purpose of the teaching activity.

c) It enables the institutions responsible for cultural heritage reproduction for the purposes of conservation of works that are permanently in their collections.

d) Other measures: Use of trade out of commerce by cultural heritage institutions.It is expected that collective management entities can grant non -exclusive copyright licenses, for non -commercial purposes, for reproduction, distribution, public communication, when they are permanently in the collection of a cultural heritage institution.

Spain thus adds to several member states of the European Union that have already transposed this new regulation to its internal systems, so that its digital content gain opportunities to compete in the European digital single market.

The Government responds to the demands of the Spanish cultural sector and, especially, referring to the specific regulation of the responsibility of those online platforms that allow the storage and exchange of content protected by intellectual property rights uploaded by users.

Directives for the improvement and modernization of the rules of protection of consumers of the European Union and the sanctioning regime in terms of consumption

With this Royal Decree-Law, the consolidated text of the General Law for the Defense of Consumers and Users (TRLGDCU) is also modified to adapt it to the new forms of electronic commerce and regular business behaviors harmful to the rights of consumer peoplethat, until now, lack specific regulation.With this reform, the Directive (EU) 2019/216 is transposed to the Spanish system for the improvement and modernization of the consumer protection norms of the European Union and the sanctioning regime in matters of consumption.

From its entry into force, the Ministry of Consumer will have sanctioning competence in cases of mass fraud that affect several countries or the market unit.Thus, the Ministry of Consumption may act as a sanctioning authority against those infractions that may affect the unit of the market and competition, when they happen in several EU states or when the offender is not located in Spain in infractions in relation to the tradeelectronic.

On the other hand, the reform is an advance in rights for consumers and will pursue the unfair practice of resale of inputs to shows through bots when they prevent all consumers from accessing the market normally.Along the same lines, it includes for the first time the prohibition of advertising covered in social networks, so far not expressly regulated, and the publication of false reviews and valuations or paid by the manufacturer in the products for sale on the Internet.In this sense, the employer will have to ensure that the reviews that appear come from consumers or users who have really acquired the good or used the service.It will be considered, in the reform of the law, as unfair practice to include reviews from consumers without verifying that they have really acquired the good or inclusion of false reviews.

Likewise, the new regulations include controls to online search engines when they grant scores and valuations higher than goods or services with respect to those of their competitors and do not inform consumers that their position responds to paid advertising.With the modification, the search engines will have to show a description of the parameters used to establish the classification of the results.In the event that a price has been customized for the consumer, based on automated decision making, this fact must be informed.

The reform of the law also involves regulating for the first time the dual quality of the products and considers as unfair to trade a good as identical when the products are different, to prevent certain brands from varying the quality of the same product depending on the Member State where they market.

The Royal Decree-Law updates the concept of online market, which is provided with neutrality from the technological point of view to refer to a service that uses programs included on its website, part of a website or an application, operated by or toAccount of the entrepreneur that allows consumers to enter into distance contracts with other entrepreneurs or consumers.It also includes the obligation to inform about whether the third party that offers the good or service holds the status of entrepreneur or is an individual.In the case of individuals, the express mention of non -application of the regulations for the defense of consumers or users to the contract must be recorded.On the other hand, these websites will have to inform the distribution of contractual responsibilities between the third that offers the good or service and the online market supplier.

Sanctions regime

The Royal Decree-Law collects a new sanctioning regime competence of the State, taking into account that commercial actions are increasingly cross-border.The intention of the Ministry of Consumption is that fines derived from fraud to consumers are effective, proportionate and deterrence, as required by European Union regulations, protecting citizens and preventing companies from having incentives to commit abuse.With this, the maximum sanctions, which from now on can also impose the State, will rise to one million euros or eight times the illicit benefit obtained, in the case of infractions committed only in Spain, and up to 4% of the volume ofBilling of companies, when these infractions take place in several Member States.It also sets aspects such as the qualification of infractions for their gravity, who are responsible subjects or aspects such as prescription and expiration.

For the quantification of the fine, the economic capacity of the person responsible, the degree of guilt or the existence of intentionality, the continuous nature of the infraction, the number of affected consumers or the level of the damages they have suffered will be taken into account.Likewise, additionally to the fine, there will be accessory sanctions such as the merchandise, the closure of the establishments for a period of up to five years and the advertising of the sanctions imposed, in order to influence their deterrent.

Among other issues, the breaches or transgressions of the requirements to avoid contamination or harmful behaviors that may be severely harmful to public health, as well as to alteration and adulteration of the composition and quality of goods and services, will be sanctioned by the State.

Likewise, the introduction or maintenance of abusive clauses in the contracts will be subject to the new sanctioning regime, the hinder of the right to end a contract or cause low in a service, the breaches in the labeling or billing of products and services not hired.

AYUDA A ARAGÓN PARA CONTROLAR LA CONTAMINACIÓN POR LINDANO EN SABIÑÁNIGO (HUESCA)

The Council of Ministers has approved the granting of one million euros in aid to the Autonomous Community of Aragon for the control and surveillance work of soil pollution derived from the old production of Lindano in Sabinanigo (Huesca).

In this way, the Miteco continues to collaborate with the Aragonese government in the decontamination work carried out during the last 20 years that have allowed, among others, to determine the scope and extension of the affected land, implement a system of surveillance of pollution and the contamination andCommissioning of works to mitigate the risks that this substance can lead to people's health and economic development in the area.

Between 1975 and 1994 the Inquinosa factory manufactured different commercial formulations of Lindano, a substance prohibited since 2008 in the European Union and currently classified as a dangerous priority substance in the Marco de Agua directive.This company produced a large amount of solid and contaminated liquids that were managed through its deposit in the landfills of Bailín and Sardas, in the municipality of Sabiñánigo.

It is estimated that the amount of waste contaminated by Lindano deposited in both landfills and in the old production facilities amounts to 550,000 cubic meters and that the surface of contaminated soils is around 10 hectares, with different depths and levels of condition.

In addition, and given the composition of this substance, a part of the waste percolated to the base of the landfills, impregnating the geological formations and contaminating the circulating groundwater in contact with the Gállego River.This has forced to deploy an active containment system based on the pumping and treatment of contaminated groundwater, as well as an exhaustive analytical control of treated waters.

Performances for pollution control

The aid approved today are intended to finance, fundamentally, the purification tasks of the runoff waters and leachate contaminated in the site of Bailín and Sardas, prior to its incorporation into the channel of the Gállego River.In this way, the quality of the river water is guaranteed and human and environmental health protects.

Environmental surveillance work will also be carried out in the Gállego River and the Sabiñánigo environment through the monitoring of contamination by Lindano and other waste derived in Bailín, Sardas and Inquinosa, so that the protection of the population and the medium is guaranteedambient.This action includes the daily control of the river water, the annual ecological monitoring of the channel, as well as the periodic control of air quality, groundwater and environment soils.

These instructions have been developed in order to regulate the procedure of entry and permanence in Spain of foreigners, nationals of third countries that exercise some activity in the audiovisual sector.

For its part, article 41 of Organic Law 4/2000, on the rights and freedoms of foreigners in Spain and their social integration, after their reform by Organic Law 2/2009, regulates as assumption of exceptions to the work permit the activity the activitythat artists develop to Spain to perform concrete actions that do not pose a continuous activity.

These instructions articulate three ways depending on the period of permanence of the professional in Spain:

In addition, it is expected that those foreigners who initially have come to Spain for a period of 90 days of stay in any period of 180 days can, exceptionally, request a stay authorization for the audiovisual sector for a maximum period of 180 days.

In these assumptions it is necessary to enable the possibility that artists or professionals can remain in Spain with their spouses or couples with analogous relationship of affectivity, minor children, as well as children of legal age or ascendants in charge of dependents.

Also, it should be taken into account that, if the artist or professional is a minor, he can enter and remain in Spain with his parents or who exercise guardianship in order to preserve the interest of the child.
