48 STREAMLINED PERMITTING Smooth setting up AICEP Environmental Authorities Land Management Authorities Regional and Local Authorities Ministries AICEP can help! The Portuguese Government launched an Investment Committee to provide permanent support to investors to facilitate the setting up of their business, mainly by providing assistance in obtaining all the permits and licenses required. This Committee consists of different stakeholders in the areas of zoning, environment, industry, etc., and they all get a global panorama of how their individual decisions impact those of others. As a result, a project timeline is agreed upon: this tool comprises all the licensing process and the legal deadlines are thoroughly monitored, as well as the institutions involved at each stage, which then results in accountability: the outcome is a rapid response from the public administration entities while overcoming procedural bottlenecks and speeding up the process.
