Re: [urn] GVAT registration request

["Martin J. Dürst" <[e-mail]>]

Hello Dale, others,

I'm not at all familiar with Austrian bureaucracy, but I'm not sure that 
a department with such a specific and catchy name as "Applikation Smart 
Data & Softwareservices" will stay the same much longer than it takes 
for an employee to retire. (This could be different for more 'standard' 
departments with more established names.)

Regards,   Martin.
