Portuguese Officials Seek Urgency For Court Of Auditors Law

Radio Observador Lisbon 12d12d Impact 5

The Portuguese government has requested urgency in the parliamentary review process for amendments to the Court of Auditors' organizational law. The Portuguese Bar Association's Competition Law Circle has issued an opinion warning of potential unconstitutionality regarding such changes. However, Cunha Rodrigues maintains that no such constitutional risk exists. The discussion focuses on national matters and how information from investigations is communicated to the public. The proposal includes provisions to exempt certain actions from prior visa requirements, according to the source. The government of Luís Montenegro wants all contracts involving European funds to bypass prior oversight by the Court of Auditors. This proposal is being submitted as a bill with a special request for urgency.

This proposal is being submitted as a bill with a special request for urgency. The government said that this new program is not a replacement for the existing Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR). This comes during a critical year for the execution of these European funds. The source noted a high degree of uncertainty regarding how new regulations will function and the potential for long-term administrative delays. Current administrative terminals are described as non-functional, with processes reportedly taking up to 10 years. The government currently lacks a clear plan of action for these transitions.
