ESPM International Relations professor Leonardo Trevisan said, this Saturday (29), in an interview with CNN, that the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) realized that Brazil is not able to advance in the fight against deforestation.
“On the issue of deforestation, it is already very clear that the OECD has realized with a clear vision that Brazil has difficulties in making progress in this area. And he wants a compromise,” says Trevisan.
“The central question is, are we able to make a commitment and fulfill it on the issue of deforestation? We are very late on this issue. Perhaps that is our first obstacle, without forgetting tax reform and exchange rate reform”, he continues.
Last Tuesday (25), the OECD Council of Ministers approved the start of negotiations on the country’s accession to the entity. To be accepted, it is necessary to be aligned with a series of principles that govern member countries.
Among them are “the preservation of individual freedom, the values of democracy, the protection of human rights and the value of open, commercial, competitive, sustainable and transparent market economies”.
The promotion of sustainable economic growth, the commitment to combating climate change, deforestation and the loss of biodiversity are other important pillars.
The assessment of requirements passes through more than 20 technical committees and has no set deadline. Possible support for necessary adaptations can be made before the country officially joins the organization.
President Jair Bolsonaro (PL), when thanking the invitation, said that the country supports sustainable growth and has practices related to the preservation of the environmental area.
“There is no doubt that Brazil shares the OECD objective of supporting sustainable economic growth, ending poverty and leaving no one behind, as well as protecting our environment and improving the lives and prospects of all, inside and outside. of the OECD, as described in the OECD Convention,” Bolsonaro said.
