SÃO PAULO - After completion of public hearing, the board of Anac (National Civil Aviation Agency) announced that it will discuss the release of charges for international flights originating in Brazil and predicted that the decision to quit within a month.

The hearing, held on the last fourth (11), in Brasilia, 120 people attended, with 21 of them had suggestions. The entity, none of the representatives of these companies are positioned against the free pricing.

The questions were restricted to the timing of implementation of the measure and the capacity of domestic firms to compete with the foreign. Now the Anac will evaluate all input and respond in writing to each.

Competitiveness
For the agency, domestic companies are able to compete, because it makes the rest of the world. Besides Brazil, only Venezuela, China and Japan have checked prices today.

This reality contradicts the claim of Snea (Sindicato Nacional das Empresas Aeroviárias) that there are unequal conditions for foreign and Brazilian companies, as the price of aviation kerosene (QAV), which would be 5% to 10% more expensive in Brazil.

At the hearing, the Anac reminded that foreign aircraft are also required to fill their tanks in Brazil, where there are flights, paying the same price paid by domestic companies.

Consumer Law
The Pro Test - Consumers' Association attended the hearing held by Anac and defended the release of charges. According to the authority, control prices inhibit competition and harm the passengers.

The Association says that the book market is unjustifiable and only harms the consumer. With most airlines, the reduction of tariffs will be a charge for the conquest of the market and with competition, prices tend to decline gradually.

"If the Anac want to give more weight to their actions should not interfere in this issue of the only international flights, but also in domestic, promoting free competition," argued the Pro Test.

Free pricing
Scheduled to come into force on January 1, the resolution of Anac determined percentage discount on fees charged by national and international companies, for flights originating in Brazil to any country, except for South America

The goal was that in 2010 the tariff was total freedom. For the companies to adjust to the new reality of the market, the process occurs gradually, and, first, there is a permission of 20% discount on the minimum currently required. On April 1, the discount would be extended to 50%, and on July 1 this year, would be 80%.

However, on January 15, the STJ (Superior Court of Justice), due to a request from Snea (National Union of enterprises Aeroviárias), suspended the resolution of Anac. The decision was the President of the body, Minister Hamilton Carvalho, who argued that the agency had not conducted a public hearing on this presence, as the law provides.
