I posted the transcript of Pedro do Carmo saying 'review'' so I don't understand why you think I've overlooked the fact. Allegedly they decided to review the evidence following meetings with Operation Grange;
Following a meeting of the Scotland Yard with the PJ's directorate, it was assigned to the section of investigation and criminal prevention of Oporto the task of liaison with the English in the re-analysis of the case elements.

I think the Portuguese might be rather offended by the presumption it was necessary for them to wing it on the coat-tails of others in what was very much their own business and jurisdiction.
It appears you may have missed the following from the link I provided earlier ...
SnipThe exercise was the culmination of months of work by four Portuguese detectives based in Porto in the north of the country, who are directly working for the highly respected senior officer
Helen Monteiro, an expert on abduction cases.__________________________________________________________
In Portugal, Ms Monteiro is seen as the driving force finally to get the Madeleine case files re-opened after five years, rather than through the efforts of Scotland Yard. She and her team are working separately from the Yard, although there is close liaison between the two.
Yesterday Portuguese Justice Minister Paula Teixeira da Cruz said the decision to reopen the case, taken last week, was due to the work of the Policia Judiciaria and not because of pressure from Scotland Yard. She said: "The PJ developed diligences that allowed for this process to be reopened. Often there are almost perfect crimes and not all of them are discovered all over the world. If the PJ requested the reopening, it has good motives to do so."
