The Constitutional Court ordered the government to resend the 1976 Labor Agreement between Portugal and the USA, which had been withheld despite a prior request. The court noted that while some documents were provided, the specific agreement referenced in the official notice was absent from the file. Consequently, the case files were suspended for thirty days while a new request for the document was issued.
