Portugal's Treaty of Accession to the European Economic Community, signed in Lisbon on 12 June 1985 alongside Spain's, took effect 1 January 1986 and committed Portugal to phased adoption of the customs union, common external tariff, structural funds, common agricultural policy, and free movement of capital and labour over a transition period to 1992-93. Domestic implementation came through extensive legislative alignment. The intended effect was to anchor democratic consolidation, force domestic productivity convergence through external competition, and secure EEC structural-fund financing for modernisation, marking the formal exit from the Carnation Revolution's revolutionary phase.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
