Economic operators carrying out commercial activities, service provision, and public catering (corresponding to CAEN codes provided in the Annex) are required to submit documentation for obtaining the operating agreement, respectively the operating authorization for carrying out public catering activities.

It is not necessary to obtain the operating authorization in the following situations:

• for the work points of legal entities with a non-profit purpose (associations, foundations, etc.) that do not carry out commercial or service provision activities;
• for food and non-food product manufacturing activities that take place in industrial areas provided for in the Zonal Urban Plan and that do not involve the sale of products through their own sales structures;
• for spaces exclusively dedicated to gambling and betting;
• for law offices, headquarters of public notaries, judicial executors, insolvency practitioners, mediators, accounting experts;
• for medical offices, medical analysis laboratories, and medical clinics;
• for financial intermediation activities (currency exchange, insurance, etc.);
• for other forms of legal organization operating under special laws.
