Under Legislative Decree No. 80 of 2010, striking off from the Syndicate register is a severe disciplinary penalty for an engineer (Art. 67(b)(3)); disciplinary offences lapse three years from their occurrence (Art. 74(b)); and engineers employed by the state, public establishments and the public sector are tried before the disciplinary boards only for acts outside their official work or under items 1, 3, 4 and 6 of Art. 68 (Art. 70), neglect of professional duty (item 5) not among them. WHETHER THE STRIKING-OFF SANCTION IS AVAILABLE FOR A DESIGN THAT FAILS YEARS LATER, WHEN SUCH AN OFFENCE 'OCCURS', AND WHETHER ART. 70 SHIELDS A STATE-EMPLOYED ENGINEER FROM DISCIPLINE FOR NEGLECT, ARE QUESTIONS FOR SYRIAN COUNSEL.

Measure and scope
Read at the articles named, 16 and 18 October 2026. Whether any of them has been amended since 2010 was NOT checked (the third-party copy shows Article 16 amended). The chapter's line 'A published name is what makes a design decision attributable twenty years later ... A ministry cannot be struck off. An individual engineer can, and knows it.' does not say the sanction is available twenty years on; the juxtaposition invites that reading (VERIFY.md EQ-11).
Known conflict
The three-year lapse (Art. 74(b)) and the Art. 70 limit sit beside the chapter's 'attributable twenty years later'. Attribution and sanction are different things; the decree answers neither the timing question nor the Art. 70 question on its face.

Action
Discuss only as a question or a risk. No sentence may say that striking off is or is not available for a design that fails years later, or that state-employed engineers are or are not exempt. The article cites Decree 80 only with Art. 67 and the three-year lapse side by side, or not at all (brief 10 item 7). Opened on D-307 item 2 (EQ-11), 18 October 2026.
