• CNMC mandates Renfe to open workshops to Iryo
• Renfe cites technical and economic impacts
• Court issues interim measure in favor of Iryo

"Spain's competition regulator CNMC has ordered Renfe to grant rival Iryo access to its maintenance workshops. Renfe pushes back, citing technical impossibility and claiming a loss of 1.2 million seats and €60 million in revenue. The dispute hinges on the definition of light vs heavy maintenance under EU directives. Iryo argues it needs only 7% capacity. The Audiencia Nacional issued a preliminary injunction favoring Iryo. Renfe is studying compliance but insists the timeline is unworkable."
