STF revokes suspension of fines for non-compliance with the freight table

The Federal Supreme Court (STF) minister, Luiz Fux, decided on Wednesday to turn back and repeal his decision that suspended the National Terrestrial Transportation Agency (ANTT) from fines for non-compliance with the rules of road freight data throughout the country, informs the “Agência Brasil”.

The revocation was determined following a request for reconsideration by the Federal Attorney General’s Office (AGU). In the request, the AGU argued that the creation of the table ensured normalcy on the country’s highways and met the truckers’ claims after the category strike in May.

For advocacy, maintaining the standard is advisable until a re-evaluation is made by the new government, which will take office on January 1. The minimum freight price table was established by Provisional Measure 832/2018, converted into Law 13,703 / 2018, and by Resolution 5.820 / 2018, of ANTT, which regulated the measure.

In deciding the issue, the minister agreed with the arguments put forward by the AGU and understood that friendly solutions to the conflict should be prioritized. “For these reasons, the information provided by the Attorney General of the Union suggests the existence of periculum in mula inverse, namely, the interruption of the administrative consensual channels of resolution of the controversy, in the imminence of possession of the new government.” Fux.
