GA_P advises Grupo Lamosa on the acquisition of Grupo Baldocer
Gómez-Acebo & Pombo has advised Grupo Lamosa on the acquisition of Grupo Baldocer for €425m (i.e. €354m at closing and a second payment of no less than €71m).
Grupo Lamosa is the world’s second largest ceramics producer, with a presence in 9 countries, focused on the manufacture and marketing of ceramic tiles, adhesives and insulation, with a track record of more than 130 years in the building materials industry.
Last year it manufactured 215.3 million square metres and had a global turnover of €1,700m. The group has a strong position in Latin America, with 19 production plants on the continent, and another in Spain – the Cerámicas Balcaire plant in Call d’Uixó, which is part of Roca Tiles, which the group has also owned since 2021 (an operation in which we also advised Grupo Lamosa).
The GA_P team advising on the process was formed by a team led by Pablo Fernández Cortijo and Constantino Pérez Salgado, partner and of counsel of Corporate and M&A, and Corporate associates Javier Reyna, Carolina Orri and Rodrigo Fernández-Chillón.

Royal Decree 415/2026: key aspects of the new health technology assessment system
Royal Decree 415/2026 establishes a unified framework for the assessment of health technologies in Spain, distinguishing between the technical assessment and the administrative decision regarding funding, pricing or inclusion in the service catalogue, and incorporating the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2021/2282. The aspect that raises the most legal questions in this new piece of legislation is the connection between the assessment regulated by the Royal Decree and the procedures for funding, pricing, and inclusion in the service catalogue.

NGT plant patenting: betwixt and between regulatory continuity and expectations
The evolution of the concept of genetically modified organisms in the European Union in light of new genomic techniques (NGTs) is examined, along with the regulatory response that introduces a distinction between two categories of NGT plants, making the regime more flexible for those that can be considered equivalent to conventional plants. It also highlights that the institutional agreement reflected in the Council’s position represents a significant shift from the case law of the Court of Justice. Regarding patents, it highlights the absence of substantial changes, opting instead for a cautious approach based on transparency, monitoring, and possible future intervention.

Voluntary takeover bids and squeeze-outs
The Judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (Fifth Chamber) of 13 May 2026 (Korfin and Sempiola v Slovnaft, Case C-225/25) clarifies the concept of a takeover bid for the purposes of Article 2 of the 2004 Takeover Bids Directive, such that an offer made to the holders of securities of a company with a view to acquiring all or some of those securities does not fall within the concept of a takeover bid where it is made by an offeror who already controls the offeree company. Consequently, based on that court’s interpretation of the Directive’s provisions, there is no right of squeeze-out in such voluntary takeover bids.

Severance pay is a claim against the insolvent estate - not an insolvency claim - if a pre-opening-of-insolvency-proceedings dismissal is ruled unfair post hoc
Notwithstanding a dismissal occurring before the opening of insolvency proceedings, if a court finding of unfairness and an employer decision to make a severance payment occur after, the dismissed employee’s claim must be deemed against the insolvent estate, even if the parties had reached a settlement, if such was reached also after.

Supreme Court rules on ‘administrative silence’ in the electricity sector: “public service” or “service of general economic interest”
The Supreme Court judgment of 10 April 2026 characterises the concept of public service under Article 24(1) of Act 39/2015 as an exception to the ‘double silence’ rule, distinguishing it from the concept of service of general economic interest, which applies in liberalized sectors such as that of electricity supply. The Supreme Court thus concludes that in seeking an authorisation to close a combined-cycle power plant, the ‘double silence’ rule applies to the effect of a presumption of approval.
