Canary Islands Government Extends Partnership with Spain’s National Inspection Agency

The Canary Islands government has officially renewed its partnership with Spain's Organismo Estatal Inspección de Trabajo y Seguridad Social (OEITSS), the national Labor and Social Security Inspection Agency. This extension, approved in August 2025, prolongs the existing four-year cooperation agreement for another four years, ensuring continued joint efforts to oversee labor standards and social security enforcement within the region.

Significance of Collaboration

This collaboration is crucial for maintaining effective oversight of workers' rights and social protections, especially in a region with a significant tourism and service sector where labor issues can be complex.

The agreement outlines shared responsibilities, including:

  • The appointment of key officials
  • The operation of a regional supervisory commission

Impact for Residents and Workers

For residents and workers in the Canary Islands, the renewal signals ongoing commitment to:

  • Fair labor practices
  • Stronger enforcement of social security laws

It also emphasizes the importance of regional and national authorities working together to uphold workers’ rights and combat irregular employment practices.

The extension follows legal procedures, including:

  • Public registration
  • Official publication

These steps ensure transparency and accountability.

Both parties, the regional government and the national agency, reaffirmed their dedication to collaboration under Spanish law, with dispute resolution falling under the Spanish administrative judicial system.

"The partnership renewal underlines our commitment to protecting workers' rights and strengthening social security enforcement," said a regional government official.
