The AdC says Stemlab's purchase of Cordvida and Stamcriovitae, which owns Bebévida, raises serious doubts about competition. The deal cannot close while a second phase of up to 90 working days runs.
AdC on 19 June endorsed the Liga Portugal + FPF centralised TV-rights model for the 2028/29 season — an ~€250M annual pot split 57.5% sporting merit, 20% equal shares, 17.5% audience-and-attendance, 5% facilities. The clearance comes subject to multi-operator lot structures.
AdC closes the subscription-TV advertising case with €13.35M in fines — MEO settles at €4.2M, NOS €4.9M, Vodafone €3.8M and Accenture €0.45M for a coordinated 30-second pre-roll scheme on catch-up recordings. NOS and Vodafone are appealing; dismantling has 90 days.
The AdC closed a six-year cartel file on 5 June with €13.35 million in coimas split across the three pay-TV operators and Accenture for coordinating a 30-second non-skippable advert before recorded programmes — Altice paid, NOS and Vodafone are heading to the Tribunal da Concorrência.
The Autoridade da Concorrência on 29 April 2026 escalated the Better Foods–Cerealis Moagens deal to an in-depth Article-41 investigation, citing 'sérias dúvidas' across most relevant markets. The merger would put Nacional, Milaneza and Napolitana inside Portugal's largest miller.
The Autoridade da Concorrência today blocked Spain's Boluda from acquiring Remolcanosa Portugal — Serviços Marítimos. The deal would have collapsed the Port of Sines tug-and-mooring market into a monopoly. Two remedy packages were filed and both were rejected as insufficient.
