The political difficulties of the government in Congress made its first victim in the area of infrastructure: Planalto Palace suspended, at least for now, sending the new mining code to the Legislature.
This is the legal framework for, on the one hand, accelerate investments, and secondly, to improve the collection of royalties collected by the Union in the exploration of minerals.
According to Folha learned with ministers, advisers and Congressmen, in evaluating the Executive no mood to remit Reform Now, after wear seen in voting Provisional Ports.
President Dilma Rousseff won the race to approve the MP last week, but the vote has exposed a base embattled.
No decision on how long the suspension will cost. Some argue that waiting until June. Others argue that there is no climate or schedule to enjoy a complex project in a short time.
For this group, the mark may be in the bin for an indefinite period. Deputies and senators claim that, if not this year, it makes sense to send it in 2014, full-year election.
NEW CODE
The new code of discipline mining exploration and exploitation of minerals in Brazil, fixed by 4%, the rate of call Cefem (Financial Compensation for Mineral Products, the mining royalty) and determines the maximum time for the operation of a mine.
The project therefore addresses several supply chains, including the production of iron ore, one of the main items in the export basket of the country.
Planalto Palace also changed his mind on how to send the proposal. Instead of MP, which has immediate application-now prefers bill.
This is because, after the difficulties to approve the MP Ports, parties base began to rise against the provisional measures that move in a little over one hundred days.
In the opinion of experts, while Brazil did not change your password, continue losing market share to competitors such as Australia, which produces ore similar quality but with most competitive price.
Last night the government also faced difficulties in the House to vote on provisional measures because the base and opposition parties influence the voting for the approval of a project that extinguishes the additional charge of 10% of the FGTS paid by employers in unfair dismissal.
