The Spanish Council of Ministers approved a royal decree-law on Tuesday to establish a mandatory public registry of interest groups. Managed by the Council for Transparency and Good Governance, the measure takes effect upon its publication in the BOE. The registry covers individuals and entities attempting to influence public officials or policy design. It incorporates amendments from the Lobby Law Project, building on the 2020 Code of Conduct which requires deputies to publish their institutional agendas. Congress must now validate the decree within 30 days. Government spokesperson Elma Saiz and Minister Óscar López oversaw the move, which aims to formalise the monitoring of all direct or indirect communications intended to affect national regulatory development. ## Related news [#CouncilOfMinistersSpain]() #JosepTarradellasBarcelonaElPratAirport 15 September 2026 at 14:00 ## [Spain approves €13bn airport investment plan]() > The Spanish government has authorised Aena to invest €13 billion by 2031 to expand major airports and accommodate 358 million passengers. #LabourLaw [#CouncilOfMinistersSpain]() 8 September 2026 at 16:22 ## [Spain approves new labour contract transparency law]() > The Council of Ministers has passed a decree requiring firms to detail pay structures, shift patterns and algorithmic decision-making.
