N-1,
Your link talk about spanish DGAC.
By experience as an ex spanish licence holder, and also comparing with friends and collegues all over europe, the spasnih DGAC is by far the worst. They do their own rules and we know why: Their employees don't like to work more than 2 hours/day, and they donīt know how to use an email address or telephone, but the ministerio de Fomento needs to rip of people and suck as much money as they can.
If I have an advice to people doing their training in spain, as soon as you get your spaniard CPL guys, just run away to any other european DGAC, and convert you spanish toilet paper into something more acceptable.
The topic was covered previously, and I invite you to check out the last post of that following link:

Sorry, I canīt find the JAR-FCL rules on google, but I've been in professional aviation for many many years now and I have always heard that in all JAA countries the type rating is valid for 5 years, of course the IR, ME and LPC have to be refreshed every year.
