Competition Act Overview

Miguel Mendes Pereira, partner at the Competition & EU practice area, writes an article for the European Antitrust Review about the Competition Act Overview in Portugal.

The partner states "After the entry into force of a new Competition Act in 2012, 2013 added yet another new element to the Portuguese competition ecosystem: a new president and a new board of the Competition Authority were appointed by the government. Expectations are running high to see whether the toolbox provided by reinforced investigation powers will lead the Competition Authority into a more muscular enforcement."
