Relatório de estágio curricular realizado na Comissão Nacional de Protecção de Dados

The personal data protection is presented as an indisputably complex and transversal subject and gives an account of this report, a result of curricular internship at the Portuguese Commission for Data Protection. The Commission is the competent authority for the control and supervision of personal data processing. The subject around which this report was prepared is the protection of personal data, analyzed in several aspects. The protection of personal data is, for some time, a topic that raises many concerns, because it is closely linked to fundamental rights constitutionally protected. Fundamental rights inherent in each of us are a result of Article 1 of the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic, in the sense that the dignity of the human person is affirmed as the first value around which the Portuguese legal system will have to be based. In other words, is the dignity of the human person the highest value in the Portuguese legal system. Was the development of societies to the point that we know today that has led to the importance to the personal data of citizens. In modern societies, it is possible to know everything about everyone and the curiosity of others seems not to worry about the injuries that affect the rights of citizens. Where new technologies make excuses for the excessive processing of personal data and where subjects do not seem to bother about their personal data crossing the world, it is important that jurisdictions give value the protection of personal data and the implications of its misuse, in that as these are the mirror of identity each of us and can be used against their owners, causing irreparable damage to the their fundamental rights. Being understood as protection of personal data the possibility of each citizen to decide the use of their data and how they can be used, we can say that its protection depends essentially on each of us, as holders of personal data. Therefore, the protection of our data begins in ourselves.

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.

Public diplomacy : Relatório de Estágio na Embaixada dos Estados Unidos em Lisboa

O OPA da Embaixada dos EUA é o departamento responsável por todos os eventos e relações públicas da Embaixada, assim como todos os programas de intercâmbio educacionais e culturais, com o âmbito de promover a política externa americana, assim como os seus valores. O departamento é principal ponto de contato com os meios de comunicação, organizações e pessoas individuais que queiram obter informações sobre os EUA. Além das tarefas desenvolvidas, enquanto estagiária, no âmbito da linha de trabalho do OPA, o presente relatório contém uma contextualização e enquadramento histórico sobre a PD. A PD tem como objetivo promover os interesses nacionais e a política externa, além de informar e influenciar os públicos estrangeiros sobre a sociedade norte-americana e o Governo dos EUA. Todo o trabalho desempenhado no OPA está intrinsecamente ligado à PD e por isso este relatório está dividido em duas partes: a descrição das minhas atividades no departamento e o trabalho de investigação sobre a PD.
