Barroso, who will remain at the head of the Prosecutor’s Office until the end of this year, stated that one of his main priorities has been to promote a comprehensive reform of Law 67 of November 14, 2008, which regulates the Office of the Comptroller General and the Court of Accounts. This law is 15 years old.
