This decree-law incorporates the Programme of Investment Attraction to the Interior Region (PC2II) and establishes the rules applicable to investment projects qualified as Investment Project to the Interior Region (PII).

The CI’s competences are the following:
- Establish an investment attraction campaign (through actions of dissemination and promotion of investment activities in the interior territories);
