Paragraph 69
 

The provisional aspect of the new provisional Article 20 is evident. This provision has been placed in the “Provisional articles” in Part Six of the Constitution. All files that were not yet ready at the time of entry into force of provisional Article 20 escaped the scope of this article and fell back into the regular system. This means that Article 20 is only temporary, a “one shot” exception. As a consequence, Provisional Article 20 is not so much a general rule (with the necessary abstract element in it) but an ad hoc solution.
