New TVDE regime law enters into force today

Correio da Manhã1 September 2026 at 07:38

The new TVDE (Transport in Undisguised Vehicles) regime law entered into force today. This legislation establishes new rules for the transport sector through digital platforms.

The Portuguese Association of Transporters in Undisguised Vehicles publicly expressed its concern about the new legislation. The association warned about what it classified as "a serious and objectively verifiable error" present in the new law.

This warning from the association represents a significant critique of how the new regulation was developed, suggesting that there are technical or content issues that need to be corrected.

The TVDE sector in Portugal has been growing in recent years, and this new law comes in the context of a regulatory effort to better frame this transport activity.

Trump asks Apple to change the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America" on its maps

The President of the USA, Donald Trump, directly asked Apple to change the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America" on its maps application, revealed the Secretary of the Interior, Doug Burgum, days after Trump signed an executive order with that change. Google has already implemented the new name for users in the USA, while users in Canada continue to see "Lake Ontario". Canada and the Seneca Nation criticized the measure, considering it a violation of treaties and a disrespect towards the indigenous peoples who gave the original name to the lake. This is not the first time Trump has tried to rename transboundary water bodies, having already ordered last year the change of the Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America".
