The implementation of Portugal’s Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) has been marked by delays and obstacles which, according to several experts, jeopardise the achievement of the targets set by the European Union. The debate intensified following remarks by the President of the Republic, who highlighted the need to revise legislation on administrative contracts as a means of unblocking the process.
In an article for ECO, Miguel Neiva de Oliveira, Partner in the Public Law department at CCA Law Firm, agrees with the identification of the problem but disagrees with the proposed solution. In his view, the main bottleneck does not lie in the legislation itself, but rather in the way decision-making bodies have managed resources and procedures.
“I do not believe that our significant distance from the targets set by the EU is due to the complexity or rigidity of our public procurement legislation. It is, rather, due to the way in which decision-making bodies have managed these opportunities,” states Miguel Neiva de Oliveira.
