Briefings

The Portuguese Association of Taxi Drivers (ACP) stated that banning electric scooters is the only possible measure, with a referendum proceeding normally but potentially cancelled if the European Central Bank permanently bans electric scooters. The ACP president emphasized the necessity of the ban as a last resort, while noting the referendum will follow standard procedures. The evidence indicates the ban is a conditional measure dependent on future regulatory decisions by the ECB.
