This was done in order to contribute to social distancing measures to help combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is important to point out that the suspension of terms subject to this Official Communication does not suspend the duties to comply with other obligations derived from the applicable regulations or the relevant permit, that do not require any filing or confirmation of compliance by SENER.
