Over 267,000 people have particularly embraced a measure that allows them to pay €53 a month for half a year, compared with the regular rate of nearly €260. Discounts go down to 50% and 30% of the regular rate after that. The government also established that self-employed workers no longer have to pay the state the VAT they charge their clients until they have in fact been paid for their services. Despite these reforms, the overall number of self-employed workers has been declining since the crisis began, and is now 14% lower than it was before 2008.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\">English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Felpais.com\u002Felpais\u002F2014\u002F08\u002F20\u002Finenglish\u002F1408526391_480028.html\">http:\u002F\u002Felpais.com\u002Felpais\u002F2014\u002F08\u002F20\u002Finenglish ... \u003C\u002Fa>   \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\"> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa>.
