Royal Decree-Law 38/2020, of 29 December, adopting measures to adapt to the United Kingdom's status as a third country following the end of the transition period
The Spanish Government issued Royal Decree-Law 38/2020 to implement temporary, reciprocal measures adapting Spanish law to the United Kingdom's exit from the EU single market and customs union. The decree ensures continuity for UK nationals in professional recognition, social security coordination, healthcare access, and financial services while protecting Spanish citizens' rights in the UK. It establishes specific transitional rules for posted workers, unemployment benefits, and cross-border workers in Gibraltar to mitigate the immediate legal and economic impacts of Brexit.
