Law 6/2020, of November 11, regulating certain aspects of trust electronic services
The Spanish State issued Law 6/2020 to adapt national legislation to EU Regulation 910/2014 by regulating specific aspects of trust electronic services not harmonized at the European level. The law establishes mandatory economic guarantees for qualified providers, defines the legal probative value of electronic documents using qualified services, and sets strict rules for the issuance, validity, and revocation of electronic certificates. It also repeals the previous Electronic Signature Law and introduces a mixed public-private supervision system with specific sanctioning regimes for both qualified and non-qualified service providers.
