Aware of the importance of developing a competitive
economy, the 17th Portuguese Constitutional Government recognized, in its
Programme for the field of Justice, that "citizens and companies cannot
be burdened with bureaucratic requirements which add nothing to the quality
of the service". In keeping with the guidelines set out in its Programme,
the Government, acting through the Ministry of Justice, has striven to create
innovative services which help to improve the quality of life of citizens
whilst at the same time developing a better business environment.
This reform is therefore undoubtedly a very significant step towards creating a more competitive economy in Portugal, capable of attracting increased investment.
