So you are back to Spanish national law again, I'm afraid.  Has Spain 
acted on the various EU directives Arnoud mentions?  Usually there is 
a time limit in the directive itself for member states to enact it 
into their national law, but member states don't always stick to those 
time limits, for various reasons.
