Agenda on Trade and Investment Policies
1. Trade Agreements 2. Trade Facilitation 3. Brazilian Investments Abroad 4. Trade in Services 5. Other Trade Policy Issues
1. Trade Agreements
CNI supports deeper integration of Brazil to the world economy through trade agreements. For CNI, Brazil should have a multifaceted strategy, covering bilateral, regional and multilateral agreements (WTO DDA).
Multilateral: reduce agricultural and industrial subsidies, non tariff barriers, improve trade remedies agreements, eliminate export restrictions and others; Regional: deepen agreements, including non tariff measures, services, investments, procurement. Foster energy and infrastructure agenda; Bilateral: negotiate agreements with countries outside the region. The priority is the European Union – Mercosul Agreement.
Agenda and Suggestions
2. Trade Facilitation
TF policies are crucial to reduce export and import clearance and release time. CNI priority is to implement the provisions of the recently approved WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement.
Single Window: harmonize and integrate customs-related agencies procedures to increase efficiency and decrease costs and time. Imports currently take around 17 days and exports 13 days; Authorized Economic Operators: implement Brazil´s mechanism to include more companies and to harmonize with other countries’ mechanisms;
Agenda and Suggestions
3. Brazilian Investments Abroad
Investing abroad contributes to increase Brazilian exports, innovation and companies´ productivity. CNI developed an ambitious agenda in this area that covers four topics: taxation, finance, diplomacy and innovation.
Agenda and Suggestions
Taxation: improve Brazil´s multinational companies profit tax regime and celebrate more Bilateral Tax Treaties (Brazil has only 29 agreements); Economic Diplomacy: increase diplomatic support to Brazilian companies abroad to reduce investment barriers and celebrate Bilateral Investment Treaties.

Bilateral Investment Treaties
4. Trade in Services
Services have a growing importance for manufacturing competitiveness in Brazil. Services represent around 55% of industrial production value-added and 40% of Brazil´s exports value-added.
Services agreements: engage in multilateral, regional (South and Latin America), bilateral and plurilateral services agreements aiming specifically at the liberalization of strategic services for the manufacturing sector. Services imports: reduce tax burden on services imports in Brazil, currently around 50%.
Agenda and Suggestions
5. Other Trade Issues
CNI has also an internal agenda to reform some of the Brazilian trade support instruments. Some of the main areas are: institutional reform, trade finance and tax credits.
Trade Court: establishment of specialized trade courts in Brazil. Tax credits and trade finance: improve guarantees for trade finance to enable more companies to use public credit, and accelerate tax restitution.
