PRESIDENTE DA PETROBRAS PEDE DEMISSÃO










https://economia.uol.com.br/noticias/redacao/2018/06/01/presidente-da-petrobras-pede-demissao-do-cargo.htm



Vivemos tempos realmente estranhos, estes em que um grupo de caminhoneiros se organizam via mídias sociais e derrubam o presidente de uma gigante estatal do Petróleo, a Petrobras e colocam em balburdia toda a equipe de governo, população e agitam as bolsas de valores no Brasil e exterior.


Um movimento difuso, sem liderança explicita conseguiu o imponderável. Contudo não conseguem resolver o problema inerente a própria profissão deles, ou seja, o valor do frete. Todos sabem que o Brasil vive um excedente de caminhões e pouca carga para transportar, dada a recessão que o pais vem atravessando.


A lei do mercado é implacável,  rege-se pela oferta e demanda(procura) e onde existe excesso, invariavelmente o preço tende a baixar. Junta-se a isso a flutuação do preço do petróleo a nível mundial. O que a categoria não consegue entender é que o petróleo é um produto caro para explorar e refinar. Somente para se ter uma ideia o custo médio de operação diário de uma plataforma gira em torno de USD 400,000 por dia, fora outros custos marginais.


No transporte marítimo de cargas, os armadores para se prevenir dessas flutuações e alta do petróleo, criaram uma taxa extra para o combustível, (BAF – bunker additional factor)  embutida no frete, que é regido por uma conferência internacional de frete entre os armadores. Desta forma o mercado vai se ajustando. Mas, estes são grandes “players” do transporte mundial e não esperam por governos.

BELOVED HOMELAND, BRAZIL

BELOVED HOMELAND, BRAZIL


Our beloved country is facing hard times to preserve the fresh democracy and institutions placed to the test with last events steemed from the lava-jato (car wash) operations. Which resulted in arresting of the majors businessman and politicians convicted by corruptions and bribery. The watershed moment was the arresting of former presidente Lula (Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva), which rattled the Brazil and international media.


Lula da Silva, has been the most influential leader from the left party PT in decades, that governed Brazil  for almost 20 years, including his sucessor Dilma Roussef, who has undergone a impeachment process by the national congress, obeyed all requirements of legal due process along with the Supreme Tribunal Federal, removing her from the post of presidente


The spate of these events has lead the international press to undertake a erroneous reading of facts. Most of correspondentes, mainly, non residents, misconstrue the events, providing a  false reality to his readers.


The complexity of the subject mixed with the lack of legal knowledge and the Brazilian procedural law have lead the foreign correspondents at the continuous stress work. Given that their principals charge them for more News, and so, in order to attend their requirements, they send disconnected details from reality, entailing a flawed logic and unteneable facts.


Nevertheless, the Brazilian civil society is following this case closely and not only following, but supporting the Lava-Jato and also the international entities and plenipotentiary of the abroad embassies in Brazil. Only for a recall, lets make a perusal in the former president Lula trial from the begining til the final award by the TRF 4 and  mittimus issued by  Sergio Moro Judge. Let´s see hereinafter:


ü  The former presidente Lula was convited to a little less than 10 years of prision by the Federal Judge Sergio Moro.

ü  Whereas his lawyers have entered with appeal in the TRF 4 court. The Judges of that court, did not uphold the appeal, rather, increasing the prision sentence to 12 years.

ü  Unsatisfied with the results, Lawyers of defendant, once more enter the same court with referral named embargos declaratórios “motion of declaration” to clarify some ambiguities in the sentence.

ü  thereupon, defendant´s lawyers tried to get a writ of “habeas corpus” in the Superior Tribunal de Justiça - STJ (against de prision during the judging of appeals) However, the STJ, the whole Judges has rejected the writ unanimously.(11x0)

ü  Once more, defence Lawyers argued new HABBEAS CORPUS application, this time in Supremo Tribunal Federal – STF, but again, luck was not favourable to them and the STF Judges has rejected the habeas corpus application to this case by the score of 06x05 (hard case)
  

As we can see the Brazilian procedural penal code is prodigal in appeals and the Federal Brazilian Constitution assists in guaranteeing the right of the accused to the presumption of innocence which is enshrined in Articl 5º, LVII - CFB/88. Therefore, this same article do not preclude the prision after the second instance conviction.


Thats the key point of the two mainstreams, In line with the terms of reference to the Lava_jato breakthrough focused on two main issues: One class and the civil society deemed to the discussion on the reform of penal understanding of prision after the second instance conviction. The other side the School of thoughts defending the last court of appeals to allow /order the defendant prision.


these are complex issues, but the facts must be disclosed in their fullness. Important to point out that the rights of appeals of person arrested keep going in the superior courts pursuing his release through the different appeals.

O ADERBAL TINHA RAZÃO!!!

O ADERBAL TINHA RAZÃO!!!




Meses atrás fui procurado por um cliente, cujo nome “fictício” era Aderbal. Uma pessoa simples de hábitos comezinhos que buscava dar baixa na sua empresa junto aos órgãos públicos; cuja as atividades já haviam sido encerradas a longos anos. Mas, não tendo logrado êxito, contratou meus serviços.  Comentou que no Brasil é mais fácil abrir uma empresa do que fecha-la, ao que concordei.



Solicitei alguns documentos, que me entregou de pronto. Todavia, faltaram outros que ficou de apresentar. Falei para enviar por WhatsApp ou e-mail. Alegou que não possuía, somente utilizava SMS e que iria trazer pessoalmente. Perguntei pelo número de seu celular para entrar em contato.


Informou o número. Porém, condicionou o recebimento de mensagens SMS e ligações, a um horário pré-estipulado. Intrigado, perguntei se ele tinha problemas com a justiça ou estava sendo ameaçado por alguém? Não, retrucou simplesmente. Que na verdade, ele tinha medo mesmo era dos Russos o localizarem pelo celular.


Mais encafifado fiquei e indaguei, se era espião ou já tinha trabalhado para o FBI, CIA, ABIN ou qualquer outro órgão de inteligência no Brasil ou exterior. Me olhou assustado e perguntou o que significavam aquelas letrinhas? Que ganhava a vida, prestando serviços como modelador e cortador de tecidos para algumas fabricas de confecções do Município.


Então, não há o que temer, retruquei. Você que pensa! Objetou ele, quanto mais eu me aventurar no celular, mais fácil os Russo vão me achar, e me mostrou seu aparelho. Um bem antigo, com uma tela tão minúscula, que mal dava para enxergar os números.


Mas, você nem fala russo não é espião nem nada, comentei. Aí é que está o problema rebateu ele. Como vou conseguir explicar tudo isto, estando nas mãos dos Russos? Tempos depois, os meios de comunicação nacional e internacional veiculava a possível intervenção dos Russos nas  eleições americana, referendum do Brexit e posteriormente o vazamento de dados do Facebook no imbróglio com a empresa de dados, Cambridge Analítica.


Coincidência ou não, encontrei o Aderbal caminhando tranquilamente pela orla marítima em uma tarde de sexta-feira. Conversamos um pouco, perguntei pelo aparelho celular se já o havia trocado. Respondeu que ainda possuía o mesmo. Pensei em inquiri-lo a respeito de inteligência artificial, robótica e as próximas eleições no Brasil, em outubro.


Contudo, refleti um pouco e não o fiz temendo pelas respostas. Vai que o Aderbal....

TRADING ON THE BABEL TOWER

TRADING ON THE BABEL TOWER


I would like to share in this article, some insights and  personal perceptions about the  negotiations, regarding to some companies and peoples from abroad where I took a part in  deals and for the sake of good order, henceforth shall be called as Contractors.


Therefore,  this post, by no means intend to be a business manual, or guide book even because should be untenable to describe so vast and complex subject in a few words and lines. I have not such a claim.


Working in the maritime industry for more than 27 years, dealing with a multicultural people, commercial managers, head of contract and others remarkable responsible persons, feel myself fortunate to have learned with my colleagues, some knowledge and tips that end up to be embeded in the way of doing business.



Each country and people holds specific details and behaviour to do business and achieving the best results in contract dealing, no matter what be the type, short, médium or long term contract. Its imperative to know beforehand the culture, applicable law, person in charge to deal the contract and last but non least, rely on your personal instincts


For instance, the northern of Europe, while negotiated with a contractor some short terms contracts, my perception at that time, the value charged should be an average of price practiced in the international Market. I reminded that Contractors does not used to ask for a rebate in the  amount. If higher or far below price  to the Market, your company will be out. Mean that the applicant company is not trustworth


In  central Europe, some companies ask for or may accept a discount in the invoice or contract, once that be reasonable the percentual negotiated and according to the values practiced in this kind of business. But its not usual, some contracts, mainly the médium and long term contract, a draft must be issued prior and terms be agreed, before close the deal.


the other hand,  I also had some experiences with companies in the Balkan country and Middle east. They are good to do business and discuss the contract amount. Nonetheless, the contractors companies are very meticulous and requiry the utmost of the contracted company, which imply that the contracted must hold the necessary and strong expertise to face a fast pace and accomplish the jobs accordingly.


Regarding to the Asian continent, contractors sometimes like to carefully make a previous assessment of the contracted firm, their custom, culture and company´s background. Also, the Contractors like to appoint a deputy manager to entertain and assess the contracted company´s manager, in order to vet him and take the "datas" to their Commercial diretor. After this you will meet with him directly to discuss the the contract and terms.


In summary,  whatever be the template contract, if simple bespoke contract  or standardized and ruled by the FIDIC book, EPC/TurnKey, clauses Knock for Knock(widely used in oil and gas industry) and others terms  thereon, The contract managers/head must be in mind the uniqueness of each contract, country culture and  others relevant informations and also, who will be designated to run the deal.


Set up an international mindset and thinking globaly are the key features to deal in the complex babel tower of worldwide business and contract. Althought we have effective technological tools to enhance and give more accuracy to the executives decision as, big data, AI and the emerging of skilled Start ups companys tailoring and customize services to clients.



But, one question maybe can  be arisen by the readers, whats the best country to do business? My response is: all the countries. We live in a globaly and integrated world persons and companies are connected all the time, selling and exchanging, products and services, TRADING  “urbe et orbi”. This is a great advantage of the mankind, namely, Interaction, i.e. reciprocity in market access, not only virtual, but face to face. Think this is realy a social funtion of contracts and business.
