According to the agency, despite the expectation of approval of the plans, it is possible to hold the auction even before the PDI approval. For some analysts, the new regulation concerning the decommissioning of platforms did not clarify this aspect. “The auction can be held before the PDI approval. What cannot happen is the removal of the platform before the PDI approval (by the ANP, Ibama, and Navy),” clarified the agency.
