National Parliament of Portugal embraces the EC!

On May 28th this year the Congress of the Republic (the Portuguese National Parliament) discussed the Draft Resolution proposed by “The Greens” recommending that the government adopt the principles of the Earth Charter. The resolution was indeed adopted,  meaning that the National Parliament of Portugal endorsed the Earth Charter!

“The greens” pleased by the approval consider that the endorsement of the Earth Charter will be an incentive to the Portuguese Government and  to the Congress to be commit to implementing the objectives, values and principles expressed in the Charter.
