The President of the Regional Government of the Azores, José Manuel Bolieiro, held a "very productive" meeting last Saturday at the Palace of Sant'Ana with the President of the National Assembly, Augusto Santos Silva, who has been on an official visit to the Region in recent days.

At the end of the meeting, the President of the Government emphasised the importance of the exchange of views with Santos Silva on "some pending issues" regarding the relations between the Portuguese Republic and the Azores.

The constitutional revision, a future revision of the Regional Finance Act, the Maritime Law and the situation concerning inter-island data cables were under analysis at the meeting.

According to José Manuel Bolieiro, who acknowledged that many of the issues addressed concern the National Government rather than the Parliament, it is nevertheless possible to "improve and expedite" the right of the Autonomous Regions to be heard on matters that fall within the competence of the Portuguese Parliament.

The visit of Augusto Santos Silva to the Azores was led by the President of the Legislative Assembly of the Autonomous Region, Luís Garcia, who also attended the meeting at the Sant'Ana Palace.
