That's about changing passwords every 30 days, not the interdiction of writing those passwords somewhere. I've google-trad the full PDF but couldn't find such interdiction. But that's no big deal. And I find pretty amusing they wrote in a law the minimum length of passwords :) (and that limit is obviously too low).
