Ministério da Economia e da Inovação-Procede à décima quarta alteração ao Decreto-Lei n.º 264/98, de 19 de Agosto, transpondo para a ordem jurídica interna a Directiva n.º 2007/51/CE, do Parlamento Europeu e do Conselho, de 25 de Setembro, relativa à limitação da colocação no mercado de certos instrumentos de medição que contêm mercúrio.

This legislative amendment updates national laws to restrict the sale and market placement of specific measuring instruments that contain mercury. This measure aims to reduce the use of hazardous substances in consumer and industrial products to protect human health and the environment. Manufacturers, importers, and distributors of measuring devices in Portugal are affected by these restrictions. The change ensures national law aligns with European Union environmental safety standards regarding mercury usage.
