Communiqué
1. The President of the Republic took the decision to send back to Parliament, today, Decree No. 150/X which “Approves the terms of extra-contractual third party liability of the State and remaining public bodies”, requesting that the same be subject to reappraisal.
2. Without questioning the need to introduce a new pattern for the extra-contractual third party liability of the State, the President of the Republic believes that the various measures included in the law may have financial consequences which, in terms of the fiscal strain on the taxpayers, could be considered as devoid of reason, and could also cause an added load on the judiciary establishment, as well as creating great difficulties in the running of the Public Administration.
3. The message that the President of the Republic addressed to Parliament will be disclosed in this same official site of the Presidency of the Republic, www.pesidencia.pt
