ORO.FTL.235 Rest periods
(b) Minimum rest period away from home base.
The minimum rest period provided before undertaking an FDP starting away from home base shall be at least as long as the preceding duty period, or 10 hours, whichever is greater. This period shall include an 8-hour sleep opportunity in addition to the time for travelling and physiological needs.

Following is from: Certification Specifications for flight time specification schemes. (DRAFT)

AMC1 ORO.FTL.235(b) Rest periods
MINIMUM REST PERIOD AWAY FROM HOME BASE
The time allowed for physiological needs should be 1 hour. Consequently, if the travelling time to the suitable accommodation is more than 30 minutes, the operator should increase the rest period by twice the amount of difference of travelling time above 30 minutes.

Since it is quiet new and not that easy to find, above mentioned AMC might be a wrong document, but it was what i could find.

Any body knows when is the effective date?
It is mentioned:
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from [2 years after its entry into force].
