The TAP Board of Directors co-opted José Eduardo Moreira as new administrator and Chief Operating Officer (COO), replacing Mário Chaves who presented his resignation from the position in early August, with effect from August 31st. Mário Chaves had been a member of the Board of Directors since 2023.
José Eduardo Moreira has been at TAP since 1998 and currently serves as General Director of maintenance and engineering of the company. He previously held engineering positions in the engine maintenance and airworthiness engineering departments.
This is the second change in TAP's board this year, after Gonçalo Pires left his position as administrator with the financial portfolio, having been replaced by Renato Inácio.
TAP is undergoing a privatization process, with the Air France-KLM and Lufthansa groups presenting binding proposals in late July. The Portuguese government intends to sell up to 49.9% of the company's capital, of which 5% is reserved for workers.
O Conselho de Administração da TAP cooptou José Eduardo Moreira como novo administrador responsável pela direção de operações, depois de o gestor Mário Chaves ter renunciado ao cargo no início de agosto, anunciou a companhia aérea.
“Por deliberação de cooptação do Conselho de Administração, José Eduardo Moreira é o novo COO [‘Chief Operating Officer’, diretor de operações] da TAP, na sequência da renúncia ao cargo apresentada por Mário Chaves”, refere o grupo de transporte aéreo num comunicado enviado às redações.
Na TAP desde 1998, José Eduardo Moreira é atualmente diretor-geral da manutenção e engenharia da companhia aérea. Anteriormente “exerceu funções de engenharia nas direções da manutenção de motores e da engenharia e aeronevagabilidade”, refere a empresa.
Mário Chaves fazia parte do Conselho de Administração da TAP desde 2023, com as funções de diretor de operações.
Em 3 de agosto, a empresa informou que o gestor apresentou a renúncia, com efeitos a 31 de agosto.
No início do ano, Gonçalo Pires, gestor que tinha o pelouro financeiro, também saiu da administração da TAP, tendo sido substituído por Renato Inácio.
A TAP encontra-se em processo de privatização. Na corrida estão os grupos Air France-KLM e Lufthansa, que em 29 de julho entregaram, cada um, as propostas vinculativas para entrarem no capital da companhia.
Esta é a terceira e última etapa obrigatória no processo de privatização.
O Governo português pretende vender até 49,9% do capital da TAP, dos quais 5% estão reservados aos trabalhadores, podendo a parcela não subscrita ser adquirida pelo investidor selecionado, ao abrigo de um direito de preferência. – LUSA

Brazil's Federal Revenue Service, in partnership with the Federal Police and the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office, has intensified the repression of consulting firms that commercialize false tax credits, having dismantled, through Operations Títulos Podres, Obsidiana and Quimera Fiscal, schemes that caused more than R$ 1.6 billion in damages to public coffers. The investigations reveal that these fraudulent consulting firms induce good-faith companies into filing Compensation Declarations based on nonexistent, time-barred, or fabricated assets, exposing them to qualified fines and other sanctions.
Regional Federal Courts across Brazil are condemning the Federal Revenue Service for illegally preventing the compensation of tax debts with third-party judicial credits, as provided for in Constitutional Amendment No. 113/2021 and Article 100 (§11) of the Federal Constitution. The judicial decisions ordered the Union to create administrative mechanisms to enable the so-called "account matching," removing sanctions and ensuring legal certainty for companies and consulting firms affected by these bureaucratic hurdles.
