I'm glad to report that the Portuguese law proposal[1] which was made by
the Government (who holds absolute majority in the Parliament) is quite
more sensible that it would be expected.

There's a few problems with whether research is effectively forbidden in
certain areas or not, but all things considered... it's not the disaster
it could be (and was in some places).
