Spanish Emissions Stickers

[Alshymer]

Hi
Does anyone know if we need Stickers for Spain in 2024?
I have German and French. Do I really need another?
Thanks for reading.

Thanks for your replies. Apparently according to U.K. Spanish Travel information today, permits cannot be issued to Foreign registered vehicles!
Seems strange that there is not a Euro fits all sticker.

French stickers (and German?) are accepted in Spain.

I guess they get way to many foreign campers wintertime from all over Europe and realised they would be overwhelmed with sticker requests, translation issues and the requirement to have a massive numberplate recognition database.

Unlike the French, the Spanish have a keep it simple approach to administration.

Transport policy within the EU is a matter of 'national competence' [? re title] and therefore Brussels has no locus/authority to standardise. Each Member State makes its own Rules and Regs
