New steps towards freedom confirmed to start August 1st

NEW STEPS TOWARD FREEDOM CONFIRMED TO START AUGUST 1STThe Prime Minister, António Costa, confirmed yesterday that the restrictions on commerce and restaurants will end on August 1st, maintaining the mandatory use of digital certificates or negative tests indoors on bank holidays and weekends. Covid certificates or negative test results will also continue to be necessary for air and sea travel and entry into hotels/ accommodation, and within the new regulations this rule has been extended to entry into gym classes, spas, casinos, cultural events, weddings and baptisms.

"We will generically eliminate the time limitations on activities, and therefore both commerce, catering, and shows will be able to resume their normal hours, with a general limitation of everything being closed at two in the morning," said the head of Government at 'briefing' after the meeting of the Council of Ministers yesterday, which took place today at Palácio da Ajuda, in Lisbon.

António Costa also stated that the elimination of these limitations is combined with the "intensive use" of the digital certificate or negative tests, which are still necessary to enter the closed spaces of restaurants on weekends and holidays, as well as to access tourist accommodation.

As part of the new deconfinement process, it was also announced that certificates or negative tests will continue to be required for air or sea travel, group classes in gyms, spas, casinos cultural events, weddings and baptisms.

It will also be necessary to use a digital certificate or a negative test in events (cultural, sporting or corporate) with more than 1,000 people in an open environment or 500 in a closed environment, and also for weddings and baptisms with more than 10 people.

In the first phase of distrust, starting on Sunday, weddings and baptisms may have a capacity of up to 50%, which will increase to 75% in the second phase as soon as 70% of the population has completed vaccination, something that Government estimates reaching in early September.

In the third phase, when 85% of the population has been fully vaccinated - something the Government is aiming for by October - the restaurants will be able to operate without limits on people per group.

The top 5 contributors to the EU for that year was
:
Germany €25,82 billion
France €21,01 billion
Italy €14.96 billion
UK €14.05 billion
Spain €10.22 billion

The facts speak for themselves, but I admire your blind faith in Joker Johnson and the Tory's, as they have ransacked and robbed the the country, in the present moment and in the past 10 years that they have been "running the country".

Yep you keep telling us how the UK wasted €14b every year on your failed project and how happy you are being ruled by Brussels.
But I can't understand your obsessive hatred of Johnson seeing you don't live there. Perhaps you fancy him.
One day you'll realise that all politicians are a-holes.

................................

Relex Chip,
Britain leaving the European Union is not going to affect me, I will continue to live happily here in the EU.
But you enjoy your new found freedom though ...

I feel sorry for my UK compatriots, that do not understand the facts about being a third country, and the implications of trading with far of places like Australia and Asia, when the richest and closest neighbours are here on our doorstep.

This decision won't affect me, as I live here in the EU and I'm a resident !

Quote from Chip: The UK paid over billions in gifts to the EU.
In 2018, the UK Government expenditure was £864.09 billion and payment between UK and EU was 14.05 billion, total EU expenditure for the same year 148.2 billion, so its plain to see that the UK paid medium contribution.

The top 5 contributors to the EU for that year was
:
Germany €25,82 billion
France €21,01 billion
Italy €14.96 billion
UK €14.05 billion
Spain €10.22 billion
France and Germany came together after ww2 to promote common goals and the European Union was born from this and it grew into the multinational Trading Union that it is today.

The UK should have been more involved in building this powerhouse, but instead it became the puppet for the USA, as it vetoed almost all movement towards progress for the EU and its no secret that the EU are not all that bothered that the UK have decided to go it alone.
So please stop this nonsense about the UK bolstering up the EU, the facts are everywhere, please read them.


Powerhouse. Give me a break.
And for your information the UK never once used it's veto because we were good obedient members even while we were paying through the nose.
UK growth is now way ahead of the failing EU's and we are glad to be out whilst the EU treats us with contempt.
But thanks for confirming that we gifted billions to Brussels which they lent to Portugal with interest, yet still can't balance their budget or get their accounts through audit.

BROOK, The UK handed over billions in gifts to the EU along with all net contributor countries including those I mentioned. You can play semantics as much as you wish but you know these countries provided support with no comeback whilst the EU passed it on as loans.
Nice business but the EU is still skint.
As others have said, I will leave you to research the parlous state of Portugal's finances.

State of distrust - what is that supposed to mean. Unemployment EU 7•1% UK after Brexit 4•8%

...................................

European Union is not a country, it is a collection of countries that make up the the richest Treading bloc in the world.

Gifted billions by those countries in the north (Germany, Holland etc and until recently the UK) then lent with interest to the south e.g. Portugal.
Yet still they are bankrupt. Astonishing.

Please explain your theory of bankruptcy in Portugal ?

Chip,

Gifted Billions...
Definition of a gift " A thing given willingly, without payment".

Definition of loan " A thing that is borrowed, especially a sum of money, that is expected to be paid back with interest.

It would be unusual if countries "gifted billions".
However, when a country requests a loan, the process will result in other countries proposing to give a loan at a particular rate of interest, it's a highly lucrative way of making money for any country.
