<DIV><FONT face=Verdana>É sempre com grande Alegria e algum Entusiasmo que
divulgamos estas excelentes noticias, pois desde a quebra registada em 2005 nos
totais, que os dados voltaram a apontar para uma subida; estando-se já
perto dos valores de 2004, esperando que no final de 2008 se ultrapasse
mesmo esse valor de 81 760 registado á 4 anos. </FONT></DIV>
