  9. The CONOCER situation December, 2004: The new CONOCER is created by Decree, but the establishment of the Trust is still pending – Until this happens, no personnel can be hired, nor can the the new system be approved. January, 2005: New General Rules of the Systems have been drafted, but they can only be approved when the Trust is established and the new counselors are elected. In short: Normalization and Certification of Labor Skills Systems, as presented in the Virtual Course are now outdated, and the new systems have yet to be validated.
