What this means
This is a statistical labour-market update. The cited source reports the number of foreign affiliates and its year-on-year increase. It does not, by itself, establish a new legal obligation, a new registration procedure, longer processing times, or new telephone services. Those points should not be inferred from the affiliation figure alone.
What to do now
No specific action is required by this statistical update alone. If you need information about an individual employment, contribution or residence case, check the applicable official procedure separately.
