The government wants to prohibit a company to operate a railroad and transport freight in it at the same time, said the CEO of EPL (Company of Planning and Logistics), Bernardo Figueiredo, this Friday (22).
In the current concession model of railroads, the same investor who has the concession of the rail operates the trains.
The determination will be in the first contracts to be submitted next week, when there will be the first auctions of the new plan of federal government grants.
We do not want to have a clear perception that there is favoritism of a [company] over another, he said.
This does not exclude, however, that a company that operates a railroad to join the auction for transporting in another different one. The government also intends to prevent companies that operate and transport in these railroads to sign agreements to receive benefits, for example, in places of loading and unloading.
Bernardo says the ANTT (Terrestrial Transportation Agency) will create a new division of monitoring that will account for detecting any irregularities.
New deadlines
Yesterday, the CEO of the EPL confirmed the change of the concession of railroads, from 30 to 35 years. All right, we are already working with it. Next week comes the first project, with announcement and contract, he said.
The businessman added that the government works with expected rates of return from 12% to 15%, besides inflation, both for highways and for railroads.
He said that all announcements should be published by June this year.
