DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. 75 /XI/1.

RECOMMENDS TO THE GOVERNMENT THE MAINTENANCE OF THE FINANCE SERVICE

FROM VISEU 2

The Government has decided, on a proposal from the Director-General of Taxes, to carry out the merger of the

two Viseu finance services in a single service. This measure dictates the closure

of the Viseu Finance Service 2, eliminating an important service for the population

from Viseu.

The justifications indicated by the Government for the closure of the Finance Office 2

find themselves unsuitable for the reality of the Viseu's concelain and the geographical area

engaging. Despite the number of users making use of electronic services from

finance has increased, it is consensual that the access rate by that route decreases

drastically as we move into the interior and the resident population if

features of more advanced age ranges. This is the case of Viseu and the geographical area

of influence, where one perceives the valorisation that exists of the presential care

by users.

On the other hand, the number of users recognizing the importance of the Service of

Viseu Finance 2 is relevant, as you perceive by the more than 5400 served users

in the month of January passed by this counter. Incidentally, this is a very similar number to the

carried out by the other Viseu finance service, which counts, however, with more

employees for analogous service. In the past January it was more than 5400 the

users served in the Viseu Finance Service 2, resulting in an average of about

2

300 users per day. These figures clearly attest to the valorisation that is given by the

population to the Viseu Finance Service 2. This way, with its 24 employees,

the Service manages to have an average of attendance per employee superior to others

similar services in the Viseu concelain. This statistical information allows

identify that the rationalization of herds that the Government upholds, is already found

currently to be held.

One of the challenges with which, currently, many cities encounter, relates to the

need for creation dynamism in the various geographical areas of the city. In this measure,

public services work, often, as anchors of that dynamism, attracting

users who enable, in their immediate vicinity, the existence of local commerce. This is a

of the functions that the Viseu Finance Service 2 fulfills, what it presents particular

relevance in the city of Viseu.

The option of the merger of the Finance Services in Viseu will result in a decrease of that

diffuse and dye effect of the city that exists at present. On the other hand, the merger

will create new problems in the city, with the problems of mobility and parching

that will arise and could be avoided with the maintenance of the two finance services

in Viseu.

The consensus that the maintenance of the Viseu Finance Service 2 in operation

took over in the county is others of the factors to be mentioned. The strength of argumentation in defence

of this service is such that it has allowed approval in the Viseu Municipal Assembly, by

unanimity, of a motion against the closure of the service.

Thus, under the applicable constitutional and regimental provisions, the Group

MP from the Left Bloc proposes the following Resolution:

The Assembly of the Republic recommends to the Government the maintenance of the Service of

Finance from Viseu 2 in activity.
