On 28 January 2016, the Council of Ministers passed, amongst others, the bill conveying measures for protecting non-entrepreneurial self-employment. The regulation at issue must follow the procedure to enact a bill, in order for it to enter into force. Such regulation was announced as the professional Self-employment’s statute, since it is the first unitary text on the subject matter. It is thus subject to amendments and integrations. However, the Self-employment’s statute essentially governs three areas, at least in the circulated version: (i) new protection in favour of self-employed workers, (ii) foreseeing the possibility to access to European structural funds, and (iii) widening the tax deductibility of some expenses.
