Further to the thread I started about half an hour ago I now have a translation of the letter we have received from the GNR in Portugal. We parked at Armacao de Pera last January and in the morning were woken by the police who made us sign a declaration. At the time they told us it was just a warning and there was no fine to pay - just don't do it again. We thought it was a legal parking place so we were quite shocked.
Here is the translation of the letter:
"By this notice, it is stated in the notice that, by order of the President Rosa Christina de Palma, dated 02/02/2017, on the report of the National Republican Guard, a proceeding was instituted against management.
In accordance with the content of the order, you are alleged to have carried out caravanning in an undue place on 20 January 2017.
These facts, for violation of the provisions of No. 1 or No. 2 of Regulatory Decree no. 38/80 of 19 August, in conjunction with Article 1 (1) thereof. 18 of Decree-Law no.1 310/02 of December 18, are liable to punishment on a non-ordering basis, pursuant to the provisions of art. 47.0 (1), al. g) with a fine of € 150 to € 200 of the same legal provisions.
Therefore, for the purposes of Article 50 of the General Regime of Counter-Ordinances and Fines, you are hereby notified to present Written Defense in Portuguese, within 20 days, of the date of receipt of the Notice of Notification, to allege what he has as appropriate, on the case of the said notice, and may also appoint witnesses and constitute, under the terms of law, counsel.
If you do not file a defense in writing, you must, however, proceed with the delivery of a copy of your last proof of income equivalent to I.R.C. or I.R.S. and their respective settlement note depending on whether it is a legal or natural person, to prove their economic situation.
In addition, if you inform us that you are Arguido, you have the right to be represented by a lawyer at any stage of the proceedings.
