Resolution

Decree Law no. 34-A/96 of April 24th which regulated the 2nd phase of privatization of the share capital of Portugal Telecom, S.A., granted the Council of Ministers, under the terms of Act no. 11/90 of April 5th, the power to establish, through a resolution, the conditions necessary to accomplish that process.

In exercising this power, the Council of Ministers regulated, through Resolution no. 67-A/96, of May 10th, several aspects of the sale operations provided for under the above mentioned decree law.
