A National Confederation of Industry (CNI) defined the legislative priorities from the industrial sector for 2025. The list will be presented on Tuesday (25), in session at the National Congress, but the CNN had access to the document.
CNI analyzed 1,041 legislative proposals of industry interest and selected 368 for debate in a seminar with 150 entities, including state federations, unions and sectoral associations.
135 proposals were chosen to integrate the industry’s legislative agenda, with 14 of them classified as priorities by the sector to 2025.
Some of the projects considered strategic by the sector are:
The sector also supports, with caveats, the Artificial Intelligence Regulation Bill (AI). CNI advocates text adjustments to eliminate innovation barriers, including improvements in copyright remuneration to enable system training with national data.
In addition, the document is contrary to the project that expands the paternity leave and provisional stability after its termination and the proposal to increase the CSLL and IRRF tax on JCP.
“The increase in the CSLL and IRRF tax rate on JCP represents additional pressure on companies’ costs, which weakens competitiveness and is passed on to the population,” the document says.
