Comments

The law text I have [kha97a] and [kha97b] is not exactly the text of the web. It seems that one version (the web one) is the first version of the law, whereas I have a more complete version, the problem is that the date of the law ion the web is more recent than the date I have (same month though), but the number of the law on the web is more ancient than mine. My version doesn't bring much more, just more bla bla, like «all citizen of the region shall respect the flag...», etc..
