"What role can Portugal have in the Digital Single Market"

Magda Cocco and Catarina Mascarenhas, TMT practice partner and senior associate, are quoted by Semana Informática (a weekly supplement within the daily newspaper Jornal de Negócios that deals with computer issues) on the European harmonization strategy outlined by the Commission Juncker and the role Portugal should have in this context.

The lawyers stand by a common and harmonious European framework, although they alert to the great challenge represented by the articulation between the European and international frameworks. Magda Cocco states that the harmonization "is a benefit to the EU and, to this end, also benefits Portugal, allowing the endowment of mechanisms and implementation instruments of the internal market to reinforce the international and healthy competitiveness."
