The entities of the Freight movement without Table, among which several agribusiness associations, reiterate on Tuesday (09), in a public hearing of the National Land Transport Agency (ANTT), which consider unconstitutional Law 13.703 / 18, on the tabulation of the freight, as well as the readjustments determined to the tables previously disclosed and the establishment of fines for alleged noncompliance with these norms.
To establish fines and inspection without clear technical criteria and in disregard of the regulation of the law itself only increases the insecurity to undertake in Brazil, says, in note, the movement. “It is intolerable for the freight contractor to be held responsible for an anticompetitive practice of transporters, just as it is intolerable that Procon or Anatel fines a consumer against an entrepreneur.”
For the movement, these decisions only increase the legal insecurity of the productive sector, harming the commercialization of products and inputs and impacting the cost of food for the population, leading to more inflation as reported in the last IBGE survey. “National competitiveness is at stake, accentuating the barriers already known in the logistics sector. All pay a high price for the table: producers, consumers and even carriers, in the face of the movement of some companies that expand or build their own fleets. “

In the evaluation of the movement, the productive sector can not accept this increase passively and will continue to fight for this mistaken measure to be reversed. “The Federal Supreme Court and the current government have instruments to remedy this situation and prevent Brazil from entering 2019 with this corporate backlash. Do not sin for this omission. “
