The Project Was Proposed by ABOL in 2020 and Seeks to Offer a More Agile and Less Bureaucratic Business Environment

The Commission on Transport and Communications (CVT) of the Chamber of Deputies approved, on the morning of this Wednesday (9), Bill 3757/2020, which regulates the activity of Logistics Operators (OLs) in Brazil. The text was proposed by the Brazilian Association of Logistics Operators (ABOL) in 2020 with the aim of bringing greater legal security to the sector, reducing bureaucracy and, consequently, improving the operational day-to-day of these companies and attracting new investments. Currently, the role of the OL, which offers integrated services of transportation, storage, and inventory management of goods, is not covered by any legal or administrative regulation.

Over the past two years, the bill has been constructed and refined by various hands, with the support of federal deputies Hugo Leal (PSDB/RJ) and Carlos Chiodini (MDB/SC), the author and rapporteur of the project, respectively. It also had the collaboration of the president of CVT, Dep. Hildo Rocha (MDB/MA). In addition, ABOL conducted ongoing clarification work about the importance of the text with parliamentarians interested in better understanding the role and areas of operation of OLs.

And the bill will continue to be a priority for ABOL in 2023, as the next step is to ensure that it is approved by the other committees of the Chamber and also the Federal Senate.

According to Dep. Hugo Leal, all the work done so far seeks to provide more legal and operational comfort to the companies that drive the country through logistics. “Without them, there is no agricultural output; there are no food, beverages, medicines, cosmetics, or electronic goods on store shelves, and there is no sustainable growth of e-commerce. We have several logistical bottlenecks, and this bill proposes to resolve some that will positively and directly impact the businesses of shippers and the lives of Brazilian consumers. With this, we hope that it will be approved and become law already in 2023,” said the author of the project.

In the same vein, Dep. Chiodini reiterated that it is the Logistics Operator who receives the cargo and delivers it to your home, who fractions and handles all the storage logistics. “But, it is a sector that, unfortunately, despite all this representation, does not have an exclusive CNAE and therefore is recognized as a transporter and storager. We are simplifying, uniting these agendas in respect to the Logistics Operators, something that is very important and representative in the state of Santa Catarina, where our ports, multimodal logistic integration of airports and roads, and everything else make our state a hub,” highlighted the rapporteur.

According to the executive director of ABOL, Marcella Cunha, the OL, or “3PL,” as it is known internationally, plays a fundamental and essential role in the productive and supply chain of the country and performs activities that are often invisible to the eyes of consumers and civil society in general. They are companies that offer various, integrated, and customized logistical solutions, both in terms of transportation (across all modalities) and in warehouse handling and inventory management.

“The pandemic further highlighted the relevance of Operators, who were responsible for transporting doses of the Covid-19 vaccine. They remained active throughout the period, ensuring the supply of the country. Not to mention their role in the increase in online sales. The bill is nothing more than the recognition of an essential activity. It is a project that the entire sector aspires to, so that we can provide greater security for the expansion plans of OLs here in Brazil.”
