Not just Portugal, this is a European thing but apparently Germany hasn't implemented it yet and will do so starting next year.
That's the weird thing with some European "laws", they give countries 1 or 2 years to implement it and some countries abuse that to go and implement it on the very last day.
- pantulis 5y agoI can confirm this is supposed to be the same in Spain. Implementation varies across industries, of course.
- anticristi 5y agoEU regulations take effect directly and are roughly equivalent to national law (see GDPR). In contrast, EU directives stipulate the desired outcome and let countries draft their own national law to achieve the directive's desired outcome.

If you give them to the last day and they do it on the last day, they have done what you asked, it's not abuse. Want it done sooner? Require it done sooner.
