Its organs, the Municipal Council of Ilhas (Câmara Municipal das Ilhas) and the Municipal Assembly of Ilhas (Assembleia Municipal das Ilhas), had been abolished. The law provided for their dissolution (dissolução) became effective on 31 December 2001.[1] The law also provided for the "extinction" (extinção) of the provisional municipalities (municípios provisórios)[1] but had not mentioned anything about the concelhos.
Former municipal organs
Following the handover of Macau to China on 20 December 1999, they were renamed as Provisional Municipal Council of Ilhas (Câmara Municipal das Ilhas Provisória) and the Provisional Municipal Assembly of Ilhas (Assembleia Municipal das Ilhas Provisória).[2]
The institutions were abolished on 31 December 2001 and replaced by the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau the following day.[1]
Divisions of departments
Despite the extinção of the municípios provisórios and the dissolution of the municipal councils and assemblies in 2001, certain government departments have maintained divisions for "das Ilhas" (the Islands), e.g., the Departamento Policial das Ilhas (DPI, lit. 'Police Department of the Islands'; which exists alongside the Departamento Policial de Macau).
