The measure was signed by Helio Bisaggio, Superintendent of Infrastructure and Movement of the ANP. It is worth noting that the authorization was granted only for the trade of natural gas and does not cover other products, such as Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in bulk.
