Do I need to print the traveler reports?
The reports will be printed and will make up the record-books containing between 100 and 500 pages, which will be available for the Law Enforcement Forces and Agencies. Even though it is produced by external software and/or it is saved on computer, the physical book must be produced, pursuant to current legislation and until the law is updated, which is currently being processed. Establishments must keep the record-books for a period of three years.
