SAO PAULO - Measure extinguish the minimum rate for essential services was approved by the Working Committee of Administration and Public Service on Wednesday (16). The proposal that consumers only pay for services actually rendered.

For the draftsman of the Bill 6347/02, Mr Eudes Xavier (PT-EC), the proposal is appropriate. He denies even the justification of the concessionaires who claim that the simple installation of infrastructure generates costs, even if consumers do not use the service.

Service used
Xavier argues that the costs of utilities apply only to state that, to compensate for spending on infrastructure, to create taxes. "The rate may be required beyond the control of the taxpayer, simply because the service in question is at your disposal," he said, according to the Agency Board. "While the rate will only be payable by the customer who actually use the service."

For the Deputy Walter Pinheiro, author of the measure, the rationale of providing services to charge a minimum rate comes from article of the Constitution allows the charging of fees for specific public services provided to the taxpayer.?

  Default
The project had been approved by the Consumer Protection in the form of substitute for the committee's rapporteur, Mr Almeida de Jesus (PL-EC). The deputy said the ban on entering the name of the users of public services in lists of default.

However, this ban was rejected by the Working Committee. Xavier argues that the adoption of the measure would stimulate the default, affecting even the quality of services.
