Every amount and the MPRP launch event are already recorded from L.N. 121 of 2021, 310 of 2024 and 146 of 2025 (and the launch event from this document). L.N. 57 of 2024 is marked against regs 15, 17 and 21 (conditions, cessation, confidentiality) but the consolidation does not show what it changed and prints no amounts or dates for it, so no event is added. The EUR 500,000 indemnity cover is an agent condition, described here only. No statistics. Rules restated from other sources are now recorded from this document too (decision 8).
