The plenary of the STF decided this Friday, June 07th, to waive legislative endorsement and bidding for the sale of subsidiary companies and mixed economists.

The decision applies to companies that belong to energy holdings such as Petrobras and Eletrobras. They are not valid, however, for the holding companies themselves, which – by decision – need authorization from the National Congress to be sold. The main affect in the decision of the STF is Petrobras. The company has sold and intends to sell some of its most important subsidiaries. A contrary decision by the STF could delay or even prevent – ​​depending on the decision of deputies and senators – the sale of some companies.
