In contrast, Lagos refused to take on new assignments in the field of animal health and protection and food safety
Health, Education, Culture, Animal Health and Food Safety are the new areas to be transferred to the municipalities
Transfer of means and competences was unanimously approved at a Chamber Meeting
Silves must reject the four competences. Olhão and Loulé had already failed in the area of Tourism
Only Portimão and Olhão will assume, in 2019, the powers that the Government decided to decentralize
Faro will wait for 2020 to take over areas of Justice and Beaches
Ourique says he has defended for a long time that there is "a reinforcement of proximity and harmony to the region, populations and territories"
Joaquina Matos says he agrees with the decentralization process, but that he does not consider that he is, for now, able to assume the vast majority of the powers that the Central State wants to transfer to the Chambers
Decentralization was one of the central themes of a meeting between the presidents of the Algarve Chambers and members of the Government, in Faro
Isilda Gomes says that the new skills "mark a new phase of municipal management"
