Decree establishing measures for Energy Crisis

The Portuguese Government may respond to oil supply emergencies by taking measures leading to the restraint of oil demand. The Decree further stipulates that demand restraint measures may initially aim to persuade the population to reduce energy consumption by disseminating information and media campaigns. Compulsory measures, on the other hand, may consist of restrictions placed upon the use of motor vehicles or restrictions of underused routes of public transportation.
