They are an AETR country with different tacho rules.They now have the same tacho rules.
They had the same tacho rules as EU had when we were on paper tachos too. They simply don’t implement them at exactly the same time as us, so there’s a few years while the rules are slightly different.
So for a while, you could still do 30 then 15 (or 3 x 15) minute breaks for your 45 mins, and 4 plus 8 hours for your rest on a journey involving an AETR country, but not any more.
Switzerland is also an AETR country btw.

AETR rules
Journeys to or through the countries that are signatories to the AETR Agreement
are subject to AETR rules. AETR rules apply to the whole journey, including any EU countries
passed through.
From September 2010, the AETR rules have been amended to recognise the digital tachograph and align closely with Council Regulation (EC) 561/2006. The changes include:
Defining the maximum weekly driving limit as 56 hours
Removing the compensation for reduced daily rest
Raising the minimum length of daily rest from 8 to 9 hours
Allowing the daily rest to be taken in two periods (instead of three as previously)
Permitting a regular daily rest period to be interrupted no more than twice for ferry journeys (rather than once as previously)
Introducing model attestation forms
