     Funkcjonowanie certyfikowanych adiutorów nie ograniczałoby możliwości korzystania również z pomocy radców prawnych czy adwokatów ani nie blokowałoby możliwości ustanawiania innych dowolnie wybranych pełnomocników.

     The functioning of certified assistants would not limit the possibility of using the assistance of legal advisers or advocates, nor would it block the possibility of appointing other freely chosen proxies.
