Estatuto Orgânico de Macau
The Estatuto Orgânico de Macau was an organic statute that provided for government in Portuguese Macau. Approved on February 17, 1976, the Portuguese legislation reclassified Macau as a "Chinese territory under Portuguese administration".
The Organic Statute was successively amended by Law No. 53/79 of 14 September 1979; Law No. 13/90 of 10 May 1990; and Law No. 23-A/96 of 29 July 1996.
On December 20, 1999, the Organic Statute was replaced by the Macau Basic Law, as the territory became a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China.
