Portugal Advertising



a. General regulation
1. Consumer Protection Law (Law 24/96 of 31 July 1996 - PCPA) states in article 7(4) as a general principle that advertising shall be lawful, explicit, and truthful and in accordance with the consumer’s rights.
The PCPA also states (article 7(5)) that any clear and objective information contained in advertisement of any good, right or service makes part of any legally binding contract or deal celebrated after such advertisement.
According to article 1 of the CP, the Advertising Code is applicable, in general terms, to any kind of advertising regardless of the respective mean or support used for advertising.
The CP’s rules do not apply to political or parties’ propaganda, which are subject to special regulation.
Article 24(1) of TV Law, refers that all the elements of programmes, shall respect in what concerns its presentation and contents
- human dignity (// art. 12 a. TVWF Directive); - fundamental rights (art. 12 TVWF Directive);
- free formation of children’s and teenagers personality (art. 12 TVWF Directive); - shall not, in any case, contain
o pornography on non conditioned free-access services; o violence; o or induce rage racism and xenophobia.
Thus, article 24 of the CP is clearly more restrictive than article 12 of the TVWF Directive.

Like the UK's ASA, Portugal has a self-regulatory body, which is called the Instituto Civil da Autodisciplina da Communicacao Comercial (ICAP). It is also built on similar principles to the ASA, that all advertising must be truthful and lawful and yet there is more to it than that. In the advertising code, it states that advertising must respect human dignity, fundamental rights and free formation of children's and teenagers personality. Regulation of such opinion based rules, must be tricky, but Portugal as a country has high regard for clear-cut moral values. I spent a lot time looking through great creative work from Portugal's agencies and many of the best have a direct message or warning behind them. So I have picked the campaigns that I think not only are effective, but also support a good cause.
