AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoRight to Repair (EU infringement): The European Commission has started infringement proceedings against 18 countries, including Portugal, for not fully transposing the EU right-to-repair rules. The directive is meant to cut waste and emissions by making repairs easier and extending product lifespans, and it now also covers more indoor heating appliances. Fuel Protests (Portugal): Truckers staged a go-slow convoy on the A1 and commuters honked on Lisbon’s 25 April Bridge as fuel prices hit record highs, with the government saying it will review proposals after hearing from the movement. Heat & Fire Risk (Portugal): A late-season heatwave is pushing temperatures to around 36–40°C in parts of Portugal, with IPMA warnings and alerts about increased forest fire risk in inland areas. Sustainable Energy (Spain): WELTEC BIOPOWER began building a biomethane plant north of Madrid, targeting up to 60 GWh/year—enough for about 11,700 households. Biodiversity (Portugal): A new plant species was identified in Monchique, Algarve, after a tourist’s photo was shared online and later confirmed by botanists. Mobility & Housing (Spain): Barcelona has removed minimum parking requirements for new downtown flats near public transport, aiming to discourage car use and support sustainable mobility.
