Sorry for nitpicking, but I don't understand the 1953.
If you have 50 years, it should be 1960 (or 1959, if it is 50+1)
As well, if you have 70 years, it should be 1940 (or 1939, if it is 70+1,
and this is the case of most european countries I think).
Probably there's something related to the year of the new law coming in
(2004), but I do not understand.
