Cannot be cited for residence rules, nor for its own legal basis: the table cites a law number that does not exist. Its stay limits are stricter than the decree for asterisked nationalities, which is a fact about border practice rather than about the regulation. The table is re-issued as a dated PDF whose URL changes with every revision, so a stored reading goes stale silently instead of registering as changed.
