Official sources for this profile

Each source states which field or claim it supports. Official EU material, national legislation and regulator publications take precedence over this summary.

  2. Royal Decree 817/2023 — controlled AI testing environment

    Spanish Official State Gazette. The time limit on Spain's pilot sandbox rather than a continuing national sandbox.
