Rapporteur in the Chamber of, Deputy Zé Vitor (PL-MG) argues, among them the license granted only based on the promise of complying with requirements established by environmental agencies, without an in-depth analysis.

The parliamentarian, however, already admits to leave to another text the detailing of controversial measures, such as the strategic license sponsored by Senate President David Alcolumbre (Union-AP), which can benefit oil exploration at the mouth of the Amazon.

The two devices, AEA, respectively, are the main focuses of dispute within the proposal, which should be voted by Thursday (10).

Zé Vitor of the Government (PT) and will bring the theme to the deputies in the coming days, to complete his report, which can bring some changes.

The need to update the rules of environmental licensing is a consensus between environmentalists and ruralists, which, on the other hand, differ on how this should be done.

The current project is supported by the ruralist bench, but is harshly criticized by the Minister of the Environment, and its allies, contrary to the two licenses and the emptying of competence of federal agencies.

On the other hand, folders like A, and defend the text as it is.

The proposal came in the House and. Now, Zé Vitor can only make amendment changes in the proposal (which does not impact merit) and accept or reject changes made by senators – as this is the case of LAE.

“A [relatora no Senado] [PP-MS] He did a brilliant job and managed to improve the text in relation to that of the House. Of course, it is a complex subject, very dynamic and constantly new improvements will be required, “he says.

LAE allows projects considered strategic by the government to be authorized by a simplified process, and is criticized by environmentalists for allowing political interference and ignoring environmental risks.

This licensing (Brazil-AP Union), great supporter of this activity.

“It will not be able to solve everything, there are points that only a writing amendment is not enough. We are closing a text and proposing complements, through a bill to be presented in the sequence. It is inevitable,” says the deputy.

Zé Vitor rules out Lae to overthrow, but admits the possibility that the single -phase procedure (in which the venture undergoes only an impact analysis) is better detailed in the parallel project.

He evaluates with technicians to make newsroom changes at some points of the proposal, such as licensing to response to climate or mining emergencies.

In the first, he sees the current text very generic and says he wants to restrict simplification only to cases directly related to the impact of extreme events.

Zé Vitor estimates that the inclusion of mining in simplified licensing processes needs to be better studied by deputies, since this possibility was inserted by the Senate. It is also a point that can be discussed more closely in the subsequent project.

The deputy.

In this procedure, the entrepreneur receives the endorsement to start his activity by committing to comply with previously established environmental requirements, without undergoing an individualized analysis.

From the current newsroom, works of small and medium -sized polluting and environmental impact – the environmentalists argue that it should be restricted only to the first group, as the second brings more risks to nature and, therefore, it would be recommended that they would be better assessed.
