The below is from Sherpa, for those flying airlines such as AC that use that system:
That's ridiculous, no other European country has such a rule, and Binax Now is accepted elsewhere. Portugal is really limiting its tourism in this manner by not accepting the US documents (but the US government has idled in getting this issue fixed as well with a full year to adjust it now).

Update: I had no problem using Binax Now test, but the EWR staff seem dumber than a door nail. Also, no lounge available for biz class pax after 9pm. Newark is worse than some airports in Africa/Central Asia when it comes to pax services/transfers
