Infrastructure Minister pulls out of attempt to merge transport agencies
Jun, 04, 2019 Posted by datamarnewsWeek 201924
On Monday 06/03, the Infrastructure Minister Tarcísio de Freitas announced that the government had given up on trying to merge the National Land Transport Agency (ANTT) with the National Agency for Water Transportation Agency (Antaq).
“There is a legitimate concern in the market, especially within the port and navigation sector, that one sector will absorb the other and we will end up having weaker regulation, for example in the port and navigation segment,” he said, justifying the decision.
Even before taking office, the minister’s intention was to create the National Transportation Agency, bringing together the shipping, road and railroad sectors, providing greater ‘rationale’ in the regulatory process.
