State of implementation

On April 12, 2022, the Council of Ministers approved the referral to the Cortes Generales of the Projects of Law on Organizational Efficiency and Procedural Efficiency of the Public Service of Justice. Both standards, along with the future Digital Efficiency Law, constitute the pillars of the Justice Plan 2030.

Although the Preliminary Draft Law on Digital Efficiency Measures of the Public Service of Justice initially included the transposition into the Spanish legal system of Directive (EU) 2019/1151 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of June 20, 2019, amending Directive (EU) 2017/1132 as regards the use of digital tools and processes in the field of company law, finally the transposition of the aforementioned directive has been separated from the rest of the text for processing as independent standards.
