The production sector that forms the Freight movement without Table, which counts on the adhesion of several agribusiness entities, sees with concern and surprise the publication of Resolution 5.833 / 18, last Friday (09), by the National Agency of Land Transport (ANTT) thatimposes fines on companies for non-compliance with the freight table.
The entities that make up the Freight movement without Table represent 21% of GDP, employ almost 20 million people and account for more than 40% of Brazilian exports. The group contests in the Federal Supreme Court the constitutionality of the Law 13,793 / 2018, which determines the policy of minimum prices for road freight.
According to a note of the motion, the publication of Resolution 5.833 / 18 is not in accordance with due process of law: fines are defined without a clear methodology and the fine is established on an inapplicable scale. In addition, that resolution does not respect proportionality in the application of the fines and they could reach 200% of the value of the product transported.
In the evaluation of entities, private services will never be the correct way to reverse the economic crisis and resume growth and development in the country. The Freight movement without a table emphasizes that it awaits a speedy manifestation by the Federal Supreme Court in order to solve this impasse which harms not only the productive sector, but the entire Brazilian population.
