Guidance document

In order to standardise document names, the published "Administrative Ordinances" (VV) are being replaced by "Guidance documents" (WL). The function and effects of the document are not changed as a result of the name change.

During the transitional phase, small adjustments to existing Administrative Ordinances will continue to be made and will be published as such, with the corresponding information. Over time, however, Administrative Ordinances will be successively phased out.
