Regulatory AlertsRoyal Decree-Law 11/2018 of 31 August on transposition of directives on pension commitments, anti-money laundering, and third-country nationals entry and residence, and amending the Common Administrative Procedure Law
The Spanish State issued Royal Decree-Law 11/2018 to urgently transpose three EU directives into national law, thereby avoiding significant financial penalties from the European Commission for delayed implementation. The decree modifies pension regulations to protect workers' mobility rights, strengthens anti-money laundering frameworks by unifying due diligence for public officials and introducing reporting channels, and harmonizes entry and residence requirements for third-country nationals engaged in research, study, or volunteering. Additionally, it amends the Common Administrative Procedure Law to align with these regulatory updates and ensure legal certainty for affected entities and individuals.
