After being discussed in the Federal Senate, Provisional Measure (MP) 842/2018, which deals with the renegotiation of debts by rural producers, will return to the House of Representatives’ analysis. According to the president of the Senate, Eunício Oliveira, there are “material inaccuracies” in the text sent to the Federal Senate.
As reported by the Senate Agency, the leader of the house chose to return the MP to the MPs claiming that there is time to analyze the text.
The article retakes items vetoed by the government when sanctioning the law on the Rural Regularization Program (PRR).
The MP, which is in force, releases the concession of discounts only for the settlement of debts under the National Program for Strengthening Family Agriculture (Pronaf), with two percentages (70% or 35%, according to the date of the contract), repealing five articles promulgated after the overthrow of presidential vetoes.
On the other hand, the conversion bill, presented by Senator Fernando Bezerra Coelho (MDB-PE) in the mixed commission that analyzed the MP, retakes these articles with minor adjustments, most of them regarding the date of adhesion and the reduction of discounts. Both texts condition the granting of benefits to the inclusion of fiscal waivers in the Budget.
