Transitional provisions and application notes
Registration became enforceable twelve months after 26 August 2007. The transitional provision covers documentary checks during that period and the historical exception for sites started before 19 April 2007.
Transitional provision firstThe transitional 10% and 20% permanent-employment shares are historical; the schedule set 30% from 20 April 2010. Apply Article 11’s calculation rules rather than reusing old percentages.
Transitional provision secondUse of the temporary sheet under Law 32/2006 was allowed for three months after these regulations took effect. That period ended and does not replace today’s Subcontracting Book.
