Entities seek Padilha to denounce Congressional ‘interference’ in regulatory agencies – 09/04/2023 – Mônica Bergamo

Representatives of entities from various sectors of the Brazilian economy will meet this Monday (10) with the Minister of Institutional Relations, Alexandre Padilha, to complain about alleged political interference by the National Congress on the autonomy of regulatory agencies.

They question an amendment presented by federal deputy Danilo Forte (União Brasil-CE) for provisional measure 1.154/2023, which created the ministries and bodies of the Presidency of the government of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT).

The parliamentarian proposes that councils be created with representatives of the Legislative, Executive and civil society to divide the functions of regulation and editing of normative acts that today are under the purview of agencies —as is the case of Anvisa (National Surveillance Agency Sanitary), for example.

For the entities that will meet with Padilha, however, the proposal by the deputy from União Brasil is “very serious”, it represents an affront to the regulatory process and compromises the attraction of national and international investments, in the face of external interference that could fall on the municipalities .

A manifesto signed by 45 institutes and associations, ranging from sectors such as energy and transport to health, telephony and climate, will be delivered during the meeting.

The text of the provisional measure and the amendments suggested by parliamentarians will be analyzed by a joint committee, composed of senators and deputies, starting on Tuesday (11). According to the system of legislative activities of Congress, 154 proposed amendments have been presented so far.
