Why form a company in Portugal?

After the European borders were opened in 1993, all European nationals were able to form a company in a Member State of their choice without the obligation to live there and this is within respect for national company law, pursuant to the 11th Council of Europe Directive (89/666/CE).
To ensure compliance with the Decree of 30th May 1984 (on registration in France of trading companies with their registered office abroad) of the European Union Directives, the 11th Directive was transposed to French law by decree number 92,521 of 16th June 1992, published in the official gazette on 17th June 1992. Likewise, the other European countries have transposed that directive to their national law.
