Every six months, initially, since the provisional measure was issued in May, this first three months will have to be sent to the Ministry of Finance, showing the impact of this provisional measure, the results, whether in employment or in the sector itself. Every six months, this evaluation will be carried out, and the participation of the National Congress will be maintained, guaranteeing that, through these reports presented by the Ministry of Finance, Congress itself can also carry out its evaluation and do its work there every year. So, I want to thank the government and everyone for their trust in our work, both mine and Reginaldo's. I would like to thank our leadership here, Senator Teresa Leitão, who also participates a great deal, and also all the ministers, Zé Guimarães, Morete, and everyone else who has been with us on this front. We are not only delivering social justice and strengthening our popular economy, but we are also listening to the consumer, especially Brazilian women, those who are daily struggling to keep their family budget compatible with their reality. So, congratulations to everyone involved. Thank you very much for the opportunity. [applause] Well, also present here are the executive secretaries of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Rodrigo Zerbone, Samara Castro Secon, Robson Barreir, I already mentioned Robson Barreirinha, all the people who were stuck in bed exhausted, he would come over to pass on information, it was always a problem for us, you know, to match the information with the Federal Revenue Service. Robson Barreir, as I've already mentioned, and Gerson Vitecu, the secretary of parliamentary affairs, and so on. And now Minister Daril Dúria speaks on behalf of Bruno and everyone else because he represents all of us. Thank you, Guimarães. Good morning, President Lores, President Al Miriam, Márcio, Sidone, Nuno. Greetings to you, my colleagues present here. I would like to extend a special greeting to Senator Leo, Senator Teresa, and Representative Reginaldo. Once again, the partnership and open dialogue between the government and Congress is yielding positive results. Mr. President, I wanted to talk a little about this history, especially when we look at the program that you mandated we establish from the very first year, which is a compliance program, a regularity program, called Remessa Conforme, led by Robson Barreirinha, the special secretary of the revenue service, who is here. It's important that we put these things into a story so that it doesn't seem like they're just gifts. It takes a lot of work and a lot of political guidance for us to get to where we are today. You can imagine that online commerce grew considerably from 2015 to 2016, especially during the pandemic, but the governments that preceded us did nothing to make the state more efficient. So, it took more than 30 days for these purchases coming from abroad to be processed, cleared through customs, and delivered to the people. There was no control over what was being sold. So, of course you had, right, a little shirt, sneakers, but we saw a lot of toy guns that came with them, a lot of toys that were harmful to children. What did we do? And here's the detail, Mr. President: before our government, there was no exemption, there never was, for remittances made from a legal entity, from a company to an individual. So, in addition to all the lack of control that existed, what was being sent to Brazil with zero tax was an abuse. So, if he said the following, there are large companies that operate in this, that would put an individual there, John from China sending a shipment to Mary in Brazil, when in fact it wasn't John from China, it was a company that made that shipment. And then you'd talk to the tax department and say, "But hey, don't you realize it's growing?" Yes, but no, the previous government didn't give that directive, there was no such guideline to organize. So what we did was organize these shipments within the country according to the established procedures. Today, Mr. President, the ease of the process is evident. We receive information about what's coming from the companies even before it leaves the port of origin. All the companies sat down with us and said, "No, we're going to standardize the packaging." So, we know what's inside, which company it comes from, and which is complying with child and adolescent protection regulations. We have identified weapons and drug trafficking in our international partnerships that we no longer allow in Brazil. It has decreased significantly, but apprehension has increased considerably. So, we've been doing this, and we were the ones who initially implemented the exemption for companies and individuals. Back in 2023, the states started charging ICMS (a Brazilian state sales tax), and the federal government removed the company's exemption, which meant that people who bought these products in the country were now in compliance. In 2024, the National Congress made a change through a unanimous vote that resulted in a 20% tax. And as Reginaldo said, we have been following and witnessing his determination to say: "My commitment is to the poorest people, and they are the ones who are primarily affected by this taxation on this purchase." So, it was President Lula who once again reinstated the exemption that we implemented at the beginning of 2023, in addition to establishing this safety control for children, guaranteeing quality, the INMETRO seal, bringing these companies in, because they have a responsibility to us that they are advertising the right, that they comply with Brazilian rules, and again bringing the exemption within a regularity program that allows us, as Senator Leon said, to have control. If we have control now, it's because before there was no control at all; it was abuse, lack of control, fraud. Now we have the state functioning well, efficiently benefiting businesses and the most needy people, who now have access to products that are not available in Brazil, and can access these products from around the world, and bring them into their families. [Clearing throat] Therefore, Mr. President, we are very consistent with your directives , those of the ministries, to guarantee social justice, to assist the poorest, but at the same time to maintain control and transparency of information. Mr. President, it is always in our interest to have transparency , not only in this case, but here as well. So let's bring transparency to the goods entering the country, to the controls, to what we've found to be wrong, so that Brazilian companies and Brazilian consumers can better follow this very successful policy of yours. Thank you, Mr. President. [applause] Now, the president is going to sign the measure, approve it, right? and follow your word now. I was thinking of promoting myself as the musician I am quick. to take a picture. I just need to make a repair here. Well, everyone says that this law is to help the poorest people. Isn't that true? Isn't that true? Here at this table, all the women who are here, and some of the men, buy these cheaper things. Most people spend their entire time looking for bad news . Find something unusual to buy that he's never seen before using Pix. In other words, people are buying it, and it's not because they 're poor. The middle class buys this stuff. I was with councilwoman Lu, buying his daughter, buying the old lady, buying our senator, buying our telethon, you know? Everyone buys this one. Yes, if I don't remove this discourse that's for the poor, and the poor aren't for those who like to buy these things. If we can invent someone who buys $3,000, why ca n't we invent someone who buys $50? What is the tax rate for someone who buys 50? And I can tell you, I think the discourse of businessmen who say they are going to have losses is quite false. Let's wait and see who was in command. What we're doing is simply delivering justice, that's all. Making a repair. One thing we did was put a tax on it, then we took the tax off, and it was put in place by the Chamber of Deputies. I was with Hadadead when we understood the telephone. So the president of Turira, whom I didn't see, said that he should impose the tax, that we had an agreement that the merchants are here because I need to impose 20%, because if it's not 20%, nothing will be approved, and so on. I said, "Then impose it," and I countered, " Then impose it," and there was no need to impose it. That's the concrete fact. So what we're doing here is making amends for people who can't travel by plane, who can't buy wine. who can't afford to buy whisky, who can't afford a fancy leather jacket, who bought something a little smaller. The other day my wife bought a little thing to button up shirts. A hook, especially for fastening those cuff buttons, which are sometimes difficult to fasten when the button is tight. You can't find that in a shopping mall, you can't find it anywhere else, you know what you found on the internet while scratching your phone. I call it itching, itching, itching down, itching up because there's nothing wrong with it. And every now and then, when there's something good to buy, you buy it. Why did we have to tax these people? So what we're doing, by law and regional regulations, is simply ensuring fairness, letting people buy things, because it's like this: it 's 50, it 's 50, it's a maximum of R$250, you know? It's money, you know, if it wasn't going to these people, where would it go? This money is circulating in commerce, it's generating more jobs, it's creating work opportunities, it's generating benefits for people. And both Reginaldo [clearing his throat] and his partner Leo forgot to mention that it 's not just medicine that we have, it's not just blouses, we're also inventing medicine. And check out the article about medication here; I'll definitely read it. Eliminates import tax on medicines not available on the national market [clearing the throat] intended for patients with rare or neglected diseases. This will apply to finished products with no national equivalent classified by Anisa, imported by individuals or for personal use. I just wanted to make an appeal to you all here. I needed to see if the other provisional measure could be corrected, either through the SUS (Brazilian public healthcare system), or through the SUS, because the SUS certainly serves people with these diseases. I think it was important that the SUS (Brazilian public healthcare system) could also buy, you know, your taxes so it could distribute things for free to these people. So it's important that in any provisional measure, our legislators remember and include the word " for the SUS" to distribute it to the people who use the SUS. The tax reform would mean that starting next year, any purchase of medication by a public body would be taxed at zero, but we can see if that will change by the end. Very well. But we might have it by the end of the year. So, guys, I wanted to know this for you . Well, the tax policy will come into effect in January, but there will still be a lot of discussion. It's when it comes into effect that we'll realize what the complaints are in practice, what, you know, is good in theory but doesn't work in practice. We're going to have a lot more discussion, but the concrete fact is that what we're doing today is making amends to the sectors that want to buy. I'd almost call it trinkets, right? Almost like a trinket. Because it's such a small, insignificant thing that it's not worth anyone saying it causes harm, that it causes unemployment, or that it will cause problems for businesses. If you go into a store today, in those big Brazilian stores, you won't see any clothes produced here in Brazil. You'll see clothing producers in Beste, you'll see producers from China, producing in Vietnam, everything hanging there. Half Vietnam, half Korea, half I do n't know what, half dance, half I don't know what. And what bothers them is the poor little thing. So, congratulations to you all. You will go down in history as the people who contributed to making amends to the consumer public who spend little money but buy only what is necessary. It is fine? Congratulations and thank you, comrade [applause]
