Resumo
Essential condition for the proper functioning of the new State model sought by the Federal Constitution of 88, the Brazilian regulatory system is significantly behind the American congeneric in what concern to the employment of advanced regulatory practices. Taking the national petroleum agency-ANP as a reference, not much besides public consultations and hearings are required for the issuing of new regulation. Tools such as (1) mechanisms for coordination, planning and control of the regulatory action, (2) the fixing of a minimum content for the regulatory reasons, including the obligatory usage of regulatory impact analysis, and (3) the compulsory periodic review of existing regulation, among several other tools incorporated by the American system throughout the evolution experimented in the 20th century, are whether not used or not mandatory. Such fact, combined with an unreasoned tendency to deference by the Judiciary when asked to review such agent’s action, explains how a crucial agency like ANP remains indifferent to such practices after two decades since its foundation. Given that the conclusions of this work are based on a single case of a single agency, such conclusions cannot (and should not) be taken as a representative sample of the modus operandi of all agencies or, in general, as a representative sample of the quality of the entire Brazilian regulatory system. And this is not, in fact, the objective; our claim is that due to the absence of a regulatory framework requiring the adoption of uniform and mandatory regulatory practices, combined with the undemanding attitude demonstrated by the Judiciary in the control of the actions of these agents, the Brazilian regulatory system admits such a low level of performance that should be cause for concern and immediate attention.
