The Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) participates in the second edition of the European Blockchain Sandbox, an initiative of the European Commission that aims to provide a framework for regulators, supervisory authorities and entrepreneurs with projects that use blockchain to participate in a regulatory dialogue, identify obstacles and increase the legal certainty of these innovative technological solutions, offering guidance in a secure and confidential environment. The blockchain projects selected to participate in the initiative receive legal advice from experts and establish a dialogue with national and EU regulators.
The European Blockchain Sandbox initiative has published the selected projects, which cover all EU/EEA regions and represent a wide range of sectors and topics. Thus begins the stage of confidential regulatory dialogues, in which the AEPD participates together with other authorities. At the conclusion of these dialogues, a report on good practices will be published, as was the case in the first edition.
