Highlights

​Welcome to the new Competition Authority portal.

The Competition Authority has been entrusted with the mission of guaranteeing that the competition rules are applied in Portugal. Indispensable components of this mission are the contribution and support of all the economic agents involved in the construction of a more dynamic and competitive economy.

For this reason it is presenting this new portal, which gives a special place to online services and offers new functionalities. It broadens, systematises and updates the information that is available, guaranteeing integration with existing platforms.

By modernising and speeding up the portal, as well as bringing it up to date, the Competition Authority will more successfully achieve its objectives of information, transparency and interaction. In fact, the new portal is more attractive, has more and better information, offers simpler access, and presents a new image on the level of its graphics and communication.

Here, among many other options, you can find information on the Competition Authority’s activities and decisions, submit a complaint online, search for important legislation or notify the authority of a merger operation.

We sincerely hope that this new portal proves to be another step forward in the process of serving competition more effectively.

Manuel Sebastião
President of the Competition Authority
