Paulo Pinheiro talks to i newspaper
"The State spends thousands of euros campaining for national products and services, however many public companies and entities chose foreign suppliers", writes i newspaper in its 4 January edition. Yet "in matters of public purchases the principle of neutrality must prevail, which means no supplier may be chosen in favor of their nationality" adds the newspaper quoting Paulo Pinheiro, partner at Vieira de Almeida & Associados (VdA) specializing in Administrative Law.
