No standalone B2B licence exists: business-to-business suppliers may serve DGOJ-licensed B2C operators without a separate DGOJ authorisation, the licensed perimeter attaching to the brand-holding operator. Counsel has expressly confirmed this and disowned any suggestion that suppliers require their own licence. The defining development is a consultation, opened July 2026 following a first consultation that closed 22 June 2026, on an Anteproyecto de Ley amending Ley 13/2011 to extend regulatory liability to technology and platform suppliers, a category presently outside the licensed-brand-holder perimeter the statute currently defines. The proposal remains at consultation stage, carrying mixed durability: it is an official government text but not yet enacted. If adopted, it would extend supply-chain accountability further than most EU peer regimes, positioning Spain ahead of comparable jurisdictions on this specific dimension, and it would do so by creating supplier-side obligations where none currently exist.
