"Portugal: State Aid"

Miguel Mendes Pereira, Competition & EU practice partner, is author of an article for Global Competition Review's magazine "The European Antitrust Review 2016", on state aid.

In the article, Miguel Mendes Pereira exemplifies how state aid became an unavoidable topic after the financial and economic crisis, which demanded an Economic Adjustment Programme, through some cases of major impact, such as, the recapitalisation of Portuguese banks, the resolution of Banco Espírito Santo, General Court rules on Banco Privado Português and the Viana do Castelo shipyards.
