Brazil. Brazil's National Telecommunications Agency, Anatel, began receiving the company's contributions to the project called "regulatory guillotine," which intends to assess the need to maintain or not regulate by the Agency some standards that may not be necessary for the regulation of the telecommunications sector.
According to the Superintendence of Planning and Regulation of the Agency, the objective of the guillotine is to review sectoral regulation and eliminate or replace obsolete, insufficient or inefficient regulations to bring regulation closer to the current demands of society.
The purpose of the Grant is to consult with society on the desirability of the project, detailing the normative acts in force to receive the perceptions and contributions of the sectoral agents and other interested parties.
Contributions can be submitted by October 11, 2019 and will be used in the preparation of the Regulatory Impact Analysis (AIR), which will be finalized in December. AIR will support the Agency's Steering Board in the decision to open a public consultation on the regulatory guillotine.
Institutions such as the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) and the Chamber of Foreign Commerce (Camex) of the Ministry of Economy have carried out similar actions and are part of the international good practices recognized by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
