The agreement provides that "the calculation of the terms be resumed or, where appropriate, be restarted from that same date."

However, if no standard is approved in this regard,We must comply with what is established in Royal Decree 463/2020, and interpret that the administrative deadlines are resumed with the rise, therefore the period elapsed prior to the date of suspension must be taken into account in the computation..

The lifting of the suspension of the (material) expiration and prescription periods of the shares and rights.

The agreement approved by the Council of Ministers provides for theIncrease of the expiration and prescription periods of the shares and rights as of next June 4, 2020.

The agreement of the Council of Ministers has not ruled on the possible reinitiation of the terms of material law, so it can be understood that, in this case,there will be a restart and not a restart of the same.

Therefore,expiration and prescription periods must be computed taking into account the period already elapsed prior to the date of suspension.
