Environmental crimes: recent changes to the Penal Code
Manuel Gouveia Pereira, Real Estate & Environment practice managing associate, writes an article for the quarterly thematic magazine Indústria e Ambiente.
The article in this issue is dedicated to the law no. 81 / 2015 introducing an amendment to the Criminal Code, related to environmental protection, specifically on ships pollution and the introduction of penalties for infringements.
"It is important to ensure legislative stability and effective operation and monitoring in the field, promoting the 'shock efficiency'," says Manuel Pereira Gouveia.
