Relatório de estágio na Caixa Geral de Depósitos

This report will describe the activities undertaken during my internship at the Personnel Department (DPE-UPE4.1) in Caixa Geral de Depósitos (CGD), Lisbon, between September 22, 2014, and February 28, 2015. I consider that it is important to note from the outset i) that the subject of my training was suggested by my supervisor in the DPE and accepted by me; and ii) that the internship consisted essentially of carrying out research and information gathering into the different social systems that coexist within the bank and the application of each legal system in solving concrete situations of the CGD employees. The research and analysis of information was important not only for my study but for the CGD itself, as it enables the department to have such an important matter, full of specific characteristics, condensed into a single document, i.e. this report. This is a complex reality. The various welfare systems differ according to the contractual agreement linking the employee to the employer at the date when the labour contract is signed, and also the unique/singular characteristics of the CGD. In the early stage I started by trying to understand the financial institution and its organization and role and the department where I worked. So I analyzed the CGD Statutes and the legal measures that crystallized the scheme for its employees and I also researched its domestic and international operations. The first month was devoted to the research and analysis of such legislation to understand the creation of the CGD and its path to date. In the second and third months I studied the legal social systems that are applied to different groups of CGD workers. This period was quite important to identify and understand the differences between those regimes of CGD employees as well as the procedure inherent in each case. I highlighted the non-implementation of “the social protection regime of convergence” to the workers of this institution; the differences regarding the allocation of sickness subsidies paid to workers who belong to Social Security and CGA contributors, as well as the enforcement of internal rules to all the workers when a work-related accident happens. Then I focused on to assessing and examining external legislation and several internal regulations in order to obtain solutions to questions raised and situations involving by the workers, in order to understand how the DPE solves these situations. Over the last three months of internship, after this more theoretical work, I began the analysis of concrete situations involving employees carrying out their duties in Portugal and abroad. Some of these situations had been received by the department before the beginning of my internship and others over this period. When I was “working” in the DPE I analyzed “cases” that had been solved and some others without a final solution because they were still in courts. As for the last ones (new cases) I was able to follow their assessment and sometimes their outcome. Some of them became study cases for me. Over these five months of my internship, several cases were analyzed and discussed by legal experts of DPE in which I could participate. I always worked hard. I know that this action contributed to elucidate me about the treatment of the issues, and allowed me to have a direct contact with some workers and be part of a dynamic work team. For these reasons, my internship report is not merely descriptive of activities. It consists of an analysis of rules (legislation) and a regulatory framework of activities and it is also a description of several specific situations solved or in a solution process. Through this work I intend to make known the particular reality of a modern Portuguese financial institution not only because of its importance in our country but also such a large number of employees work here (in Portugal and abroad). I should add that throughout my internship I was allowed to attend conferences, within the scope of the bank in order to get a broader view of some issues related to the daily life of the DPE and the CGD. So, I participated in I Jornadas Bancárias and the Conferência Internacional do Contrato a Termo, given that the CGD is a bank and the DPE deals with legal and labour relations.

Identificação de perigos na cadeia de produção e distribuição de produtos comercializados por uma Empresa do ramo alimentar

O efeito conjugado das imposições da grande distribuição e dos consumidores cada vez mais exigentes levou aos intervenientes do sector alimentar considerarem a certificação dos seus produtos e/ou sistemas de produção e distribuição por referenciais específicos. Todas as organizações que intervêm na cadeia alimentar têm a responsabilidade de colocar no mercado produtos alimentares, cujas condições de higiene e segurança estejam devidamente garantidas. Este trabalho tem por base o levantamento dos perigos considerando todos os potenciais elos da cadeia até ao consumidor final e que podem introduzir perigos para a segurança alimentar, de forma a definir medidas para controlar esses mesmos perigos ou simplesmente comunica-los com vista ao seu controlo. Tem, ainda, como objetivo melhorar a definição da utilização prevista dos produtos ao nível da utilização imprópria, não prevista mas razoavelmente expectável a par com a identificação dos perigos que não são esperados mas que podem ocorrer e ser introduzidos no produto desde a sua origem até ao consumidor final. O trabalho desenvolvido teve por base um período de estágio curricular numa Empresa do ramo Alimentar (Empresa X), onde se realizou um levantamento e posterior revisão de todos os rótulos de caixas e embalagens, fichas técnicas e planos HACCP dos produtos comercializados. Foi possível identificar de uma forma geral os perigos associados às matérias-primas, etapas de processamento e ao produto final, demostrando assim que todos os intervenientes na cadeia alimentar têm de assegurar a segurança no produto na etapa onde intervêm. Foram ainda feitas sugestões de medidas a implementar pela Empresa e ou Fornecedor, sendo que algumas delas já foram implementadas pelos fornecedores da empresa X no seguimento da sugestão apresentada. Concluiu-se que é possível à obtenção de um produto seguro caso exista a colaboração de todos os intervenientes da cadeia alimentar e o cumprimento das boas práticas de fabrico por parte dos mesmos. No entanto constatou-se que ainda é necessário melhorar a rotulagem de alguns produtos no sentido de evitar a sua utilização impropria por parte dos consumidores ou elo seguinte da cadeia até chegar ao consumidor final.

O mercado desenvolveu-se e evoluiu de forma a criar ligações mais próximas entre clientes e fornecedores, as relações de parceria entre ambas as partes são cada vez mais necessárias ao bom funcionamento das compras. Cada setor de atividade tem as suas particularidades, no entanto de forma geral todas as empresas avaliam com base no preço, prazos de entrega e qualidade dos produtos.

Relatório de estágio curricular

The purpose of the current internship report is to share the opportunity I have had to learn during my stay in CMVM as an intern, specifically in relation to the exercise of private equity supervision in Portugal, in order to contribute to the study of private equity legal framework. Private equity is the activity to finance or acquire enterprises with growth potential (normally consider as genuine industry), for a limited period of time, in order to support the enterprise’s development to benefit from future profit sales of participations. By observing and studying the registration procedures, as well as the specific legislation and reality of other jurisdictions, it is concluded that supervision specifically related to private equity is one of the most important aspects in this industry, as it is the best way to know and control it. To improve the performance of supervisory functions, and the very development of private equity, it is essential to have a legislative review in order to simplify the rules enforcement necessary for the proper running of the industry as well as for more efficient supervision and control of this activity, thus developing it and making it more attractive in a national and international basis.
