If through the performance of several discontinuous tasks the intermediate down times determining the condition of a discontinuous task are cancelled, the working hours of the personnel assigned shall be subject to the rule laid down in Article 30, paragraph 2, of this CCNL. This rule does not apply in the case of occasional or sporadic work.
