Proposal has controversial points such as license for adhesion and commitment and special environmental license
The federal deputy (PL-MG) made a change in the bill aimed at flexing environmental licensing in the by including mining in the text. Originally approved by By 2021, the project did not contemplate the mining sector, but the new version is already in process and the vote is scheduled to take place until Wednesday (16).
The proposal maintains some controversial points, such as the License for Adhesion and Commitment (LAC) and the Special Environmental License (LAE). LAC, in particular, has generated criticism of environmentalists, as it can facilitate the exploitation of oil at the mouth of the Amazon, allowing projects selected by the government to be analyzed without considering environmental risks.
In addition, the proposal also suggests changes that can weaken the role of the National Environmental Council (CONAMA) and increase the autonomy of state and municipal agencies in the licensing process. The project rapporteur also included simplified licensing focused on the sanitation sector, which also raises concerns.
Opponents of the proposal argue that some of their provisions, such as LAC, may violate the constitution and decisions of the Federal Supreme Court. The discussion around the project reflects a clash between economic interests and environmental protection, highlighting the complexity of the theme in the current scenario.
