The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the appeal against the President of the Institute of Olive Oil and Fats Products (IAPO). The appellant argued that the financial charges collected by the IAPO were taxes requiring legislative authorization, whereas the respondent maintained they were administrative fees. The court held that the specific Decree-Law in question was enacted under a valid legislative authorization, thereby validating the charges as taxes and confirming the President's competence to collect them.
