urbanistic areas of urban areas, regulating the process of reconversion and administration of the

urban areas of illegal genesis;

b) That Act, and its successive amendments, laid down rules and commitments for the

conversion processes, attentive to the urgent need for their completion;

c) The assessment of its compliance has allowed to affer that the existing legislation does not constitute, in and of itself

same, an obstacle to the development of processes for the conversion of these areas,

responding, as such, to the needs of the Country, notably from public actors and

private;

d) However, the duration of the excecional regime also allowed to note that the same applies

to a complex and unrelated reality, which depends to a large extent on the commitment,

availability and consensus among public and private actors;

public utility servitude;

iii. The streamlining of reconversion processes, making them more Celtic;

iv. The articulation of the different legal regimes applicable to buildings and constructions;

v. The prediction of mechanisms that encourage the conversion and completion of the processes,

either of municipal initiative, or of particular initiative;

vi. The prediction of greater accountability for all involved;

vii. The prediction of further monitoring of the existing reality;

viii. The guarantee of further training and information to those interested as to the tramway of the

conversion processes;

ix. The prediction of measures allowing to overcome some difficulties in the framework of

operation of the joint administration bodies;

g) The result of the written hearings and consultations allowed still to affer the existence of another type of

embarrassments, not directly related to the legislation itself, which arise, some

of them, of the current socio-economic background, as are the economic difficulties for

to be involved in the payment of the infrastructure necessary for the regularization of the works of

urbanization;

Having on the basis of the above mentioned acquis, the present Law Project aims to comply with the

recommendations from the Working Group for the Identification of Existing Legal Constraints
