The Council of Transparency and Good Governance has published today the reports of the third evaluations carried out to 77 entities that, after two previous evaluations (in 2023 and 2024), had not reached a level of compliance of at least 75% in terms of the publication of the information to which they are obliged by the Transparency Law.
These 77 entities include:
Although they have already been evaluated twice before, with the corresponding indications offered by the Council on their breaches and how to remedy them, the Average Compliance Index of the Mandatory Information (ICIO) achieved by all these entities in this third evaluation it's only been 50%, although there is a great disparity between entities, with some achieving very high or notable levels of compliance and others still presenting enormous shortcomings.
In the review carried out in 2025, it has been found that only three of the 77 entities have achieved 100% compliance, after having implemented the recommendations made by the Council:: Port Authority of Barcelona, the Hydrographic Confederation of the Tagus and the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC).
In total, all the entities have attended only 238 of the 992 indications given to them by the Council. It is regrettable that 39% of the entities have not implemented any of the recommendations, and 19 entities have even worsened their compliance levels compared to the last review conducted. There are still 42 public bodies and 22 private entities evaluated that do not meet 75% of their transparency obligations.
Faced with this situation of persistent and unjustifiable non-compliance, after more than a decade of validity of Law 19/2013, of 9 December, on transparency, access to information and good governance (LTAIBG), the Council urges them to comply without delay with the obligations imposed on them by this law. In particular, it reminds those responsible for public bodies that Article 9.3 of the LTAIBG establishes that the repeated failure to comply with the obligations of active publicity “will be considered a serious infringement for the purposes of applying to those responsible for the disciplinary regime provided for in the corresponding regulatory regulations».
The experience derived from the evaluation processes carried out in the last four years leads the Council to reaffirm the need for this independent authority to be endowed with coercive powers to ensure full compliance with the LTAIBG.. “It is essential that the independent supervisory authority be able to rely on enforcement instruments such as, for example, the imposition of coercive fines to ensure compliance with the transparency obligations imposed by law on public bodies and private entities receiving public funds,” As the President of the Council, José Luis Rodríguez Álvarez, has stated publicly on numerous occasions.
The individual evaluation reports of the 77 entities, as well as any claims they may have made, are available on the Council’s website. Also the aggregated report on the degree of compliance achieved by all entities, which includes the lists of public and private entities evaluated with the compliance index reached in 2025, their evolution compared to that achieved in 2024 and the degree of application of the recommendations made by the Council in that evaluation, as well as the number of non-compliances that remain.
The Council carries out its evaluation with its own resources and using its own MESTA methodology, developed with the defunct State Agency for the Evaluation of Public Policies and the Quality of Public Services.
