This Spanish member-state law (not an EU instrument) introduced a mandatory, non-waivable remuneration right for press publishers against online content aggregators, deliberately designed so that publishers could not grant free licences as German publishers had done, with fees collected collectively through the SGAE successor body.
Google responded by shutting down Google News in Spain in December 2014, causing Spanish publishers to lose substantial referral traffic; the provision was repealed and replaced by Spain's transposition of Digital Single Market (DSM) Art. 15 via Real Decreto-ley 24/2021, after which Google News relaunched in Spain in November 2021.
