A Historic Regulatory Milestone

Law n.º 5-A/2026 represents the first comprehensive transparency regime for interest representation in Portugal, following more than a decade of parliamentary debate and international dialogue. This is a fundamental legislation that establishes registration, disclosure and accountability obligations for all entities engaged in interest representation activities before public bodies.

Entry into force occurs on 29 July 2026, creating a critical 180-day period for operational preparation of affected organizations. The Interest Representation Transparency Register (RTRI) will open at the beginning of this period, with a 60-day deadline for registration of all mandatory entities.
