Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT: ENERGY-MODEL BILL VOTE DELAYED ANOTHER DAY
REF: A. BRASILIA 464
B. 03 BRASILIA 321
C. 03 BRASILIA 3940
D. 03 BRASILIA 2859
Other legislative priorities delayed yesterday's (March
3) scheduled vote on Brazil's new energy model (Ref A) by
one day. A Senate contact has told us the vote is expected
to take place later today (March 4) after a plenary debate
in the Senate, which we have confirmed was underway as of
early-afternoon local time. Industry representatives
continue to lobby furiously, including the visiting Duke
International President, who will meet with Minister of
Mines and Energy Dilma Rousseff this afternoon with a
request for eleventh-hour changes to render the new model
less detrimental to current private investors. It looks
unlikely that industry will achieve any such major changes
in the bill at this stage. If it were to do so, the
legislation would have to be returned to Congress's lower
chamber for reconciliation and a further vote there.
