The government expects to announce later this year two more steps of the Investment Program in Logistics (PIL), in the amount of $41.43 billion each. There will be investments in ports, roads, railroads and waterways, the CEO of the Empresa de Planejamento e Logística (EPL) Bernardo Figueiredo reported to the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo. That is why we will not be without things to do in the EPL, he said, explaining that the postponement of the High-Speed Rail (HSR) auction had little effect on the routine. This is not the biggest or the most complex project we are working on.
He warned the team of the bullet train that they will only go on vacation in 2015. That is because the auction was delayed by at least a year. The new steps of the PIL will cover waterways, as the chief of staff of Brazil Gleisi Hoffmann anticipated to O Estado de S. Paulo. Among them are the Tietê-Paraná and Araguaia-Tocantins waterways.
The federal highways BR 251 e 365 in the stretches connecting Salinas (state of Minas Gerais) to Montes Claros (state of Minas Gerais) and to the Triângulo Mineiro, the federal highway BR 364 between São Simão (state of Goiás) and Rondonópolis (state of Mato Grosso) and the stretch of highway BR 163 in the state of Paraná should also integrate the list.
In railroads, the rail links between Lucas do Rio Verde (state of Mato Grosso) and Porto Velho (state of Rondônia), and Figueirópolis (state of Tocantins) and Barreiras (state of Bahia), which will integrate the North-South Railroad to the West-East Railroad (Fiol), are under study, among other projects.

Suggestions
We are beginning to prepare the actions for them to be contracted in 2014 and 2015, he explained. The projects were selected from suggestions made by more than 20 entities on what they consider a priority in logistics. We made two rounds, those with higher priority and those with a little less priority. He said it does not matter whether these ventures will be performed as public work or concession.
It is up to the EPL to assemble the shelf of projects that President Dilma Rousseff promised to fill until the end of her administration. Yesterday, he met the team that takes care of HSR and reported that works continue normally, now with the challenge to develop a generic engineering project, which previously had to be done according to the standard used by the winner of the bid.
