Description

Simplification of the Investment Chapter of the FTAA (Free Trade Agreement of Americas) to the Brazilian government as the Brazilian national financial system position.

In 2001, the Brazilian Security Exchange Commission (SEC), that is, the Comissao de Valores Mobiliarios (CVM) and the Abrasca (Associação Brasileira das Companhias Abertas), that is, the Brazilian Association of Open Companies, organized at BOVESPA, actually B3, the closed Seminar "Seminário As negociações da Alca e OMC no Mercado Financeiro e de Capitais. São Paulo: Bovespa; 2001." I participated thereof as my academic production as a JD candidate was on FDI:

I integrated just the High-Level Study Investment Group on the FTAA WTO negotiations. There was a High-Level Study Service Group but my knowledge was restricted to FDI. The Brazilian Ministry of External Relations, together with BOVESPA – actually B3 - asked the Group, chaired by BOVESPA's International Relations manager, to simplify the brackets of the Investment draft Chapter, under State Secret. In this group I was the only academic with legal background. Hence I simplified the Investment Chapter of the FTAA reporting to the Brazilian government the Financial National System position.
