The Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia (CNMC) has issued a directive stating that companies operating in Spain must register only in their respective autonomous communities. This decision is intended to simplify the registration process and enhance compliance with local regulations.

By mandating that businesses register in their home regions, the CNMC aims to promote effective competition and protect consumer interests. This move is part of a broader strategy to ensure that market operations are transparent and fair, reducing the administrative burden on companies.

The CNMC emphasizes the importance of maintaining a level playing field in various sectors, including energy, telecommunications, and transport. The authority encourages businesses to adhere to these regulations to foster a competitive market environment.
