Nova proposta de alteração do Código Florestal traz ameaças à sua implementação

The document analyzes how MPV 884/2019, by removing the deadline for CAR registration, risks undermining the Environmental Regularization Program (PRA) and creating legal insecurity. It examines 35 parliamentary amendments, some of which propose drastic changes to the PRA's operational logic, and discusses a pending Supreme Court challenge (ADI 6.157/DF) regarding the measure's constitutionality.

• MPV 884/2019 removes the final deadline for registration in the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR), making it a permanent system. While intended to prevent the exclusion of small landowners, particularly in the Northeast, this change affects the Environmental Regularization Program (PRA) because the deadlines for both are linked.
• If MPV 884/2019 is approved in its original text, the deadline for joining the PRA would be extended indefinitely. This removes the incentive for producers to regularize environmental liabilities in Permanent Preservation Areas (APP) and Legal Reserves, as they could maintain agricultural activities in consolidated areas without regularization.
• A group of parliamentary amendments (Nos. 12, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 27) proposes a fundamental shift in the PRA, moving the responsibility for initiating regularization to state environmental agencies via notification, rather than the current system of producer-led initiative. This could force states to revise existing regulations and cause legal insecurity.
• The analysis of 35 parliamentary amendments reveals that many are 'hybrid' or entirely unrelated to the central object of MPV 884/2019, attempting to alter various other sections of the Forest Code or different laws entirely, which contributes to legal instability.
• The Supreme Federal Court (STF) is reviewing the constitutionality of MPV 884/2019 through ADI 6.157/DF. The challenge argues that the measure is a re-edition of the expired MPV 867/2018, lacks urgency, and violates the principle of prohibition of environmental regression.
• Regarding agricultural credit, amendments 14, 22, 23, 24, and 35 seek to extend the CAR registration deadline for credit purposes for all rural properties. Without these, the deadline remains December 31, 2018, allowing financial institutions to require prior CAR registration for credit granting.
