The CNMC and the AEPD have signed a cooperation agreement to coordinate their actions regarding electronic communications and data protection. The agreement establishes mechanisms for mutual consultation on numbering retention and user rights (Art. III), as well as joint supervision of Regulation (EU) 2023/2854 on fair access to data (Art. IV). To this end, a joint Monitoring Commission will be established, consisting of three representatives from each agency (Third Clause).
For telecommunications and digital services companies, this agreement implies coordinated supervision by two independent authorities, reducing the divergence of criteria on interoperability and data access issues (Art. IV). Operators will need to comply with both the CNMC and the AEPD in processes where market competition and privacy mandates overlap. The creation of a Monitoring Commission aims to resolve interpretation disputes internally between both bodies (Third Clause).
