Transitional provisions and application notes
Specific powers are assigned through regulations. Advice and technical cooperation with the Inspectorate do not amount to assuming all its enforcement powers.

Article 13Initial deadlines to constitute bodies and approve regulations concern the Institute’s establishment. They are not recurring employer compliance deadlines.
