Brazil to Announce Electric Sector Rules
1
Brazil to Announce Electric Sector Rules President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will soon issue a decree providing a much needed regulatory framework for Brazil’s electric sector, the country’s mines and energy minister said Tuesday. Dilma Rousseff said Silva would sign the decree by next week. The framework has been eagerly awaited by electricity companies who have been reluctant to invest in Brazil because of lack of clear rules.
2
“The decree puts expansion (of generating capacity) at its center and creates a market that is extremely competitive,” said Rousseff, who declined to offer further details until the decree is published. She said the framework should allow work to go forward on some 45 stalled projects for electric generation facilities, which have been held up by environmental concerns or a lack of financing.
3
In 2002, Brazil had to resort to energy rationing because a lack of rainfall left the country’s hydroelectric dams well below capacity. About 95 percent of Brazil’s electricity comes from hydroelectric dams. The government of President Fernando Henrique Cardoso responded by implementing an emergency plan to expand the country’s electrical generation capacity, mainly through thermoelectric plants that do not depend on rainfall.
4
But on Tuesday, Rousseff said the emphasis on thermoelectricity was misplaced because it would be hard to find enough gas to run those plants for the 10 days or so every year when they would be needed. She said Brazil’s future remained in hydroelectric generation, pointing out that the country uses only 24 percent of its hydroelectric potential. By comparison, France uses about 94 percent of its hydroelectric potential and the United States uses over 77 percent, she said.

TEXTO 2
Brazil Wants Culture as Basic Human Right
1
Minister of Culture, Gilberto Gil, challenged the 35 member countries of the Organization of American States (OAS) to include culture on the list of basic policies to promote economic development and foster social inclusion. At the second OAS Ministers meeting, which ended on August 24, in Mexico, Gil emphasized: “Government policies for culture can no longer be secondary, fragile, peripheral. They represent the social and infrastructure policies of the 21st century.” According to the Minister, it is necessary to expand the notion of culture as a vital dimension of citizenship, social inclusion, and quality of life, “the notion of culture as an obligation of the State.” Gil reminded the other ministers present that the development process “is not completed, if it is not given cultural underpinnings, if it does not incorporate wider access by the population to the means of production and dissemination of cultural materials.”
2
Earlier this month, the Culture Minister talked about creativity as a basis of the production process during the First Evaluation Meeting of the XI United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in Geneva. For Gil, the so-called creative industries should have a distinct policy. In his view, cultural goods and services cannot be treated in the same way as their commercial counterparts, because they contain specific values for sovereignty and the preservation of cultures.
3
At the XI UNCTAD, which took place this year in São Paulo, the Minister launched a proposal calling for a global policy of free circulation of cultural goods and products. Gil’s idea is to mobilize the international community to turn creative industries into instruments of leverage for developing countries. Now, the Minister wishes to establish the International Forum of Creative Industries, with headquarters in Brazil, to discuss the implementation of strategies in this area.
(Brazzil Magazine, August 27, 2004)
👉 Questão  7 :
According to the information presented in the article, Gilberto Gil
a) went to an UNCTAD meeting in Mexico, where he presented a project involving culture.
b) said in Geneva that creativity is fundamental for all industries, no matter what their focus is.
c) said that the development process should turn culture into a profitable good.
d) put forward the idea that creative industries should be treated the same way as other industries.
e) believes the idea that culture should include the notion of citizenship, social inclusion and quality of life.

TEXTO 3
Poor Nations Flex Trade Muscles
1
After five decades of being bullied or ignored in multilateral trade talks, the world’s poorer nations yesterday enjoyed the first real confirmation that the balance of power has shifted a little in their direction. The agreement in Geneva to kick-start the so-called Doha Round was seen by many developing nations as a delayed vindication of the tough stand they took in trade talks in Cancun, Mexico, last September.
2
Before Cancun, the post-war trading system had spent decades opening markets to the exports of rich nations while leaving in place huge barriers and distortions in the agricultural markets that are disproportionately important to poorer countries. The result is that tariffs imposed on goods produced by the poor – defined by the World Bank as people earning less than $US2 ($2.85) a day – are twice as high as those on the more sophisticated products made by people who are not poor.
3
At the Cancun meeting of the 147-nation World Trade Organization, a new “Group of 20” developing nations, led by Brazil, South Africa, India and China, used for the first time the clout that comes with the WTO’s reliance on consensus, which in effect gives each member a power of veto. When the developing nations insisted on more reform of farm trade, and rejected the so-called Singapore issues being pushed by countries such as Japan – covering “rich country” concerns such as facilitating foreign investment – the traditional trade powers were furious. The Cancun meeting broke up in disarray with European Union trade commissioner Pascal Lamy warning darkly that the “medieval” structure of the WTO meant there might be little future for a rules-based multilateral system.
(The Australian, August 2, 2004)

The poorer nations
a) have been ignored in Doha as well as in Cancun.
b) have endured tough trade barriers after Cancun meeting.
c) should increase the earning of their population to $2.85 a day.
d) may acquire some power after the agreement in Geneva.
e) are paying twice as high tariffs for the World Bank.
