With the prospect of resumption of discussions in Congress on the interim that fills gaps in the Forest Code, the Minister of the Environment, Izabella Teixeira, said on Thursday (2) that the government works for the approval of the MP to put new laws environmental practice and power "next".
The minister commented on the project's environmental law during the presentation of data on deforestation in the Amazon in April, May, June and July. The event occurred in the morning, in Brasilia.
In July, when congressmen and senators assessed the opinion of MP in the joint committee which is processing, related to agribusiness adopted parliamentary procedural maneuvers to delay the vote.
The main text was not approved, but more than 300 amendments, which can change it back to be debated next week when the committee resumes work.
"The government's effort is to vote yes. We want to vote and want to apply the code, "said the minister told reporters. "We want environmental regulation, and this requires that the Forest Code is approved."
Debate must be supported by society - The Forest Code was approved by Congress in April this year, had 12 points but vetoed by President Rousseff.
To regulate the gaps opened by the veto and add some rules, the President enacted the measure, when approved by the committee still needs the approval of the plenary of the House and Senate to follow the presidential sanction. The MP must pass through both houses until October 8, or loses its effectiveness.
The MP is, for example, the percentage of land that must be preserved or restored to the property to be regularized.
"It is important that society supports the debate in Congress and that Congress has the sensitivity to approve the text of the MP and the farmers move ... taking the illegality and doing what we want in the environmental area, recovering forest, planted forest and to match what is environmental protection with productivity.
