Paulo Alexandre Barbosa (PSDB-SP) said that the new mayor is aligned with the modernization of port legislation
The most important legislative agenda for the port sector in 2025 will be the beginning of the debates around the modernization of the port of ports (). Last year, a special jurist commission set up by the former president of, (PP-AL), the draft that will bear the articulation of the new port legislation.
Although the conversations are at an early stage, the deputy (PSDB-SP) said he was confident that discussions should advance to an approval of modernization later this year. The congressman, who has his electoral stronghold in the city of Santos – that houses the largest port in Latin America – told the Poder360 that the agenda has the support of the new president of Casa Baixa and ally of Lira, (Republicans-PB).
“I believe that Have all the conditions of be voted this year. President Hugo Mota It has clarity of this priority, It has alignment with this agenda, demonstrated concern With this theme, so we will to work here in Parliament with great responsibility so we can make this theme move forward ”said Barbosa.
Barbosa said the bill should gain traction in the House of Representatives from the definition whether the bill will go to a special commission or a permanent commission. The project will deal with regulatory, economic, logistics, political and labor issues, which should require a specific working group.
The modernization of port law aims to give more security to port investors and advances with regulatory standards. For example, Barbosa said he will defend an extension in the time of port terminal lease contracts to be 75 years. Today, the limit is 50 years.
“Today, One of the proposals is to expand the time of contract to 70 years, that I am in favor For an important measure, which are long -term investments, ensure that investments can consolidate in the country, investments external, including ”he declared.
Another proposal that should be discussed in the House of Representatives is a shared management of the main ports of the country. In Barbosa’s view, the control of assets should not be only in the hands of the federal government and that the participation of state and municipal governments in port administrations must be higher.
“The territorial area It is from the municipalities. That is, the impact of the port city It happens in the city. Truck that arrives, truck that leaves, The delivery that is generated, delivery that is no longer generated. The entire impact of the port city in the municipality. To arrive nthe ports, For example, the road state government, concession state. So, access It is from the state government. So, I think I defend a management tRipartite. A management model where everyone can have participation ”he declared.
