Compliance Extension
Extending your existing global compliance framework to the Portuguese requirements, rather than building a parallel one.
Legislative update of 28 July 2026. Act no. 37-A/2026 established the governance of the RTRI, created its Management Board, repealed Article 19 of Act no. 5-A/2026 and replaced the transitional regime with a staggered timetable. English-language commentary published before that date — including the earlier version of this website — is out of date. See the consolidated calendar.
Who it is for, and on what basis
Intended for. Multinationals and EU associations that already maintain an EU Transparency Register filing or an equivalent internal framework.
Legal basis. Articles 5, 7, 10, 12 and 15 and the Annex to Act no. 5-A/2026.
Scope and deliverables
- Comparison between your existing framework and the Portuguese requirements, item by item;
- identification of what maps across and what has no equivalent;
- designation and publication of the person responsible for public institutional relations (Annex, Article 4);
- adaptation of the code of conduct and its publication (Article 15(3));
- contact-record and contractual-relationship procedures aligned with your group standards;
- cooling-off verification for staff recruited from the Portuguese public sector (Article 12(1)).
Method and phases
- Review of the existing framework;
- gap analysis and design of the missing pieces;
- adoption and publication;
- briefing of the teams involved.
Duration and fees
Indicative duration. Four to eight weeks.
Fees on proposal. Set by reference to the actual scope, established in a preliminary call at no cost, and presented with an itemised breakdown of deliverables, timing and terms.
