Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill would add a provision to Law 5/2014 on Private Security so that, when the transport of euro funds is covered by EU Regulation No. 1214/2011, the Ministry of the Interior would only check that the company meets conditions and guarantees in its home country equivalent to Spain's, with no new guarantees required.
  2. Following the European Central Bank's criteria, the EU regulation would also apply to the transport of euro banknotes.
  3. Spanish authorities could grant authorization for each cross-border transport operation within a maximum of one month from the request.
  4. Each authorization would be individual and would set the personnel, route and maximum completion time, warning that breaking it can lead to penalties under Spanish law. The law would take effect the day after its publication in the official state gazette.

Who it affects

  • Cash-in-transit and private security companies: They could carry out cross-border road transport of euros with fewer procedures and no extra guarantees.
  • Private security workers from other EU countries: The text notes they can work in Spain if the Ministry of the Interior verifies they meet the requirements.
  • Ministry of the Interior: Its role would be limited to checking the company's guarantees, and it would have to decide within one month.
