Companies with transparency claims: 30 days for Council to resolve disputes under Law 19/2013

The Transparency and Good Governance Council takes responsibility for resolving claims under Article 24 of Law 19/2013, following the agreement with Asturias on 13 May 2026. This ensures faster and more accessible resolutions, especially in areas without local representatives. The 30-day natural period from claim submission applies, as set in Article 24.1 of Law 19/2013, now enforced by the Council rather than regional governments.

In 3 key points

  1. The Council for Transparency and Good Governance assumes the resolution of transparency complaints pursuant to Article 24 of Law 19/2013 (art. 24.1 Ley 19/2013)
  2. The time limit for resolving complaints is 30 natural days from the date of submission (art. 24.1 Ley 19/2013)
  3. The agreement is signed on 13 May 2026 and published in the BOE on the same day (13 de mayo de 2026)

How it affects those involved

Citizens and businesses that have complaints regarding lack of transparency or access to public information can now directly address the Council for Transparency and Good Governance, without having to go through regional administrations. This reduces processing times and costs. Regional administrations lose their competence in this area, which may lead to shifts in how complaints are managed. Advisors must update their procedures so that their clients can submit complaints directly to the Council.
