TELEFONICA, Cellnex and Red Eléctrica continue to be the only companies of the Ibex-35 that have joined the registry of interest groups launched by the National Commission of Markets and Competition (CNMC), close to three years on.

The registry, launched towards the end of 2015, now has 451 registered members, which means it has only added 44 new members in the last year. The presence of companies such as Uber or Correos, which are the subject of studies by the CNMC, has been noted by critics.
