CHAIR OF THE COUNCIL OF MINISTERS

Proposal for Resolution No 6/XII

The Portuguese Republic and the Argentine Republic, countries linked by historical links and

solid cultural, have been promoting fruitful cooperation in all areas of their

bilateral relationship, which translates into the approval of legal instruments of diversion

nature.

The Agreement between the Portuguese Republic and the Argentine Republic on the Transfer of

Convicted Persons, signed in Lisbon, on October 6, 2008, is yet another example

of such cooperation, with the object of the promotion and further deepening of cooperation between

Portugal and Argentina in the area of Justice.

The Agreement makes it possible to transfer a convicted person on the territory of one of the

States, with the agreement of this, to the territory of the other in order to fulfill it, or to continue

to comply, a conviction that was imposed on him by sentence carried on trial,

contributing, by this route, to the social reinsertion of the convicted persons.

The transfer application may be requested either by any of the States, or by the

own doomed person, thus allowing nationals of both countries to

fulfillment of deprivative penalty of freedom in its social environment of origin.

This Agreement shall be interpreted and implemented with the safeguard of rights and guarantees

constitutional and legally enshrined and in respect of the fundamental interests of the

Parts.

It is thus of particular importance to proceed with the approval of the Agreement.

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 Resolution:

CHAIR OF THE COUNCIL OF MINISTERS

Approve the Agreement between the Portuguese Republic and the Argentine Republic on the

Transfer of Condensed People, signed in Lisbon, on October 6, 2008, whose

text, in its authenticated version, in the Portuguese and Spanish languages, it publishes in attachment.
