Proposed Law No. 33 /XI

Exhibition of Motives

The National Strategic Reference Framework 2007-2013 (QREN), approved by the

Resolution of the Council of Ministers No. 86/2007 of July 3 constitutes the document

strategic for the period 2007-2013 that frames the concretization in Portugal of

economic, social, and territorial development policies through the structural funds

and of cohesion associated with the cohesion policy of the European Union. In this context, it is anticipated

that the implementation of the QREN and the respective operational programmes is viabiliated by the

mobilization of significant community resources-some 21.5 thousand million Euros,

that ensure the realization of investments in the economy, society and the territory

national on the order of the 44 thousand million Euros.

The Government has been adopting measures with a view to speeding up the implementation of the QREN,

to highlight the Memorandum of Understanding concluded between the Government and the Association

National of Portuguese Municipalities, on March 9, 2010, which translated into a Plan

of Initiatives to Promote the Execution of Municipal Initiative Investments in the

scope of the QREN. This Initiatives Plan had as its main objectives to accelerate, the

short term, the implementation of the municipal initiative projects within the framework of the QREN and

strengthen the recognition of municipalities, particularly through communities

intermunicipal, as a strategic partner of public development policies,

growth and employment.

CHAIR OF THE COUNCIL OF MINISTERS

In line with the disigning of ensuring maximum use of community funds

available within the framework of the QREN, the Government takes as a priority to promote and guarantee

the implementation of infrastructures considered strategic for development and the

competitiveness of the national territory, and which integrate beneficiary applications of co-

community funding within the framework of the QREN.

From among these infrastructures stand out those considered decisive in the Programme of the

XVIII Constitutional Government, specifically the infrastructures in the areas of

water supply and sewage sanitation, waste management, and the

business competitiveness in the context of regional development.

In the first area, in the sector of water supply and wastewater sanitation,

the Strategic Plan of Water Supply and Wastewater Sanitation for the

period of 2007-2013 (PEAASAR II), approved by Despacho n. 2339/2007, 14 of

February, (2 th series), has devoted to Portugal a strategy of approximation to standards

of water supply and wastewater sanitation of the most advanced countries of the

European Union.

According to the PEAASAR II, the achievement of these goals must translate, between

other measures, in the realization of the investments necessary for the completion and expansion of the

multimunicipal systems at "high" and the continuation of the infrastructure of the strand in

"low", with special focus on investments that enshrine the articulation between both

the strands, determining the mobilization of the QREN community funds to support the

execution of the same.

In the second area, in the waste management sector, the Strategic Plan for Waste

Urban Solids for the period 2007-2016 (PERSU II), approved by the Portaria

CHAIR OF THE COUNCIL OF MINISTERS

n ° 187/2007 of February 12, advocates for an increase in the installed national capacity

of digestion of anaerobic, composting, mechanical and biological treatment and the

selective collection of organic matter, so as to ensure compliance with the targets of

landfill diversion, planned for 2009 and 2016, without jeopardizing sustainability

economic of them.

Like the PEAASAR II, the PERSU II also assumes as a determinant of articulation

of the same with the QREN. As it refers to, the implementation of the measures

recommended requires an inevitable financial effort, in particular from those concerning the

construction of new infrastructure and or the adaptation of existing ones, so as to

achieve performance levels consistent with the intended goals, predicting-

if the investments in question are sustained by the QREN.

In the third and last area, in the business competitiveness sector, the XVIII Programme

Constitutional government associates regional development with modernization initiatives

of the Portuguese economy and its infrastructures, with a view to the full

of the wealth creation capacity of all and each of the areas of the territory

national, in a framework of sustainable development.

These initiatives presuppose the potentials of the strategy and the tools provided for in the

QREN, specifically the specific regulation " Support System for Areas of

Corporate Reception and Logistics " created within the framework of the QREN and which aims, in the framework

territorial of the northern regions, Centro, Alentejo and Algarve, namely, the creation,

requalification and conversion of areas of corporate reception, raising its quality

and qualification, rationalizing and giving coherence to the regional and local network of this type of

spaces, as well as support for the management of these platforms, particularly with regard to the

provision of shared services, and still the promotion of local entrepreneurship.

In this context, attests to the country's needs in supply infrastructure of

wastewater and wastewater sanitation, in infrastructure for the valorisation of waste

urban solids and in infrastructure of business reception areas, as well as the

priority of the Government assigned to the promotion of the implementation of the QREN, it is necessary that

these infrastructures are completed and enter into exploration with the greatest brevity

possible, making a significant contribution to achieving the goals set by the Government and

for the stimulus of the economy.

Thus, the similarity of the special scheme established for the necessary expropriations to the

delivery of certain hydroelectric profiteers approved by the

Decree-Law No. 301/2009 of October 21, and authorized by Law No. 83/2009, 26 of

August, urge to create an analogous regime for the expropriations necessary for the realization of the

infrastructure that integrates beneficiaries of community co-funding,

particularly those identified above as prioritised, so as to potentiate their most

quick execution. In that measure, it matters to ensure that the recognition of the utility is

public wants the recognition of the urgent character of expropriations and measures to

concretize.

The present special scheme is without prejudice to the rigour that projects of this complexity require,

applying exclusively to projects that have been the subject of analysis and pre-selection in the

scope of your application to the competent technical body for the allocation of the funds

Community and safeguard the rights of private individuals, ensuring their right to fair

compensation.

It is also intended to apply this special regime of expropriations to the completion of the infra-

water supply, wastewater sanitation and valorisation structures of

municipal solid waste, co-financed by the Cohesion Fund in the period 2000-2006,

and to the realization of the infrastructures allocated to the development of logistics platforms which

integrate the National Network of Logistics Platforms, approved by the Decree-Law

no 152/2008 of August 5 in such a way as to facilitate the inherent procedures

administrative and potentiate the beneficial effects for the economy of this initiative.

The "Logistic Portugal" is an essentially private initiative plan, taking over the

State a regulatory position and facilitator for the realization of the same. The Regime

CHAIR OF THE COUNCIL OF MINISTERS

Legal of the National Network of Logistics Platforms advocates that it is incumbent on the State to

facilitation of the development of logistics activities connected to the transport or the

goods, involving the promotion of links to platforms under construction or the

build.

In this way, it is intended to streamline the implementation and completion of the ambitious network of

logistics platforms designed and promote the location of the productive activities together

of the infrastructures of the "Logistic Portugal", as a form of valorisation and planning

of the territory.

The conjugation of this special regime with the said decree-law, allowing for simplification and

or the celerity of administrative procedures, is determinant to foster,

decisively, private investment and potentiating, in particular, the increment of

economic activity and the creation of employment.

Thus:

Under the terms of the paragraph d) of Article 197 (1) of the Constitution, the Government presents to the

Assembly of the Republic the following proposal for a law:

Article 1.
