FecomercioSP: PEC at the end of the 6×1 scale does not address the country's needs

The president of FecomercioSP (Federation of Commerce of Goods, Services and Tourism of the State of São Paulo), Ivo Dall'Acqua Jr., stated that the text of the PEC (Proposed Amendment to the Constitution) that ends the 6×1 scale does not address the country's needs.

The speech took place this Tuesday (26), after a meeting between representatives of the Brazilian business community and the president of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre (União-AP), to ask for more time to analyze the 6×1 PEC.

"Brazil is a continent. We have diversity within the same city, within the same neighborhood, within the same business. So, you can't put something one size fits all and want it to adequately serve everyone, first and foremost. It's a constitutional reform, it's a constitutional change", he explains.

About the meeting, the president evaluated it as "excellent", as business representatives managed to convey concerns regarding the processing of the proposal to the president of the National Congress.

"We had time to speak, we brought our arguments and raised our concerns about the speed and lack of depth in the debates on such a complex subject", he said.

The president of Fiesp (Federation of Industries of the State of São Paulo), Paulo Skaf, also participated in the meeting and said that the proposal discussed in the Chamber is "outside the Brazilian reality".

"Alcolumbre understood the complexity of the subject and the need to debate calmly. Our proposal is that the discussions be carried out calmly. The only thing that needs to be done is to take your time and do it quickly. A few more months won't make any difference. The Chamber's proposal was made irresponsibly. It didn't listen to any sector", he said.

The special commission that discusses the PEC, however, received businesspeople from different sectors not only in the Chamber, but also in seminars held in the states.

Representatives from Fecomercio-SP and CNC (National Confederation of Commerce in Goods, Services and Tourism) participated in a commission hearing and also took a stance against the end of the 6×1 scale.
