Brasilia - The president of the National Land Transport (ANTT), Bernardo Figueiredo said on Tuesday that the agency is working to regulate important aspects of the current model of granting railroads, regardless of the new sector regulatory framework, which is being worked for the federal government. He said the main actions are in the areas of user right, right of way, targets of transport and tariff ceilings.
"Regulations are important because they address aspects of quality improvement of service delivery," he explained. According to Figueiredo, such regulations should be discussed at public hearings in coming months, and should be completed by year's end.
The government will also discuss with the new entrepreneurs of the sector regulatory framework. A meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, the Ministry of Transport. "The government wants to listen to the whole world, users and dealers to make a critical mass over the decree and take the decision."
Figueiredo also said that there is a possibility that as pension funds Petros, Petrobras, the Funcef, CEF and Previ, Banco do Brazil, form an Equity Investment Fund to enter into the design of high speed train.
He said the idea is that these funds will join the winners of the bidding after the auction. "I think it's cool, because it enhances competitiveness." The auction of high-speed train that will connect the cities of Sao Paulo, Campinas and Rio de Janeiro, is scheduled for December 16.
