Procurement and Infrastructure Management Procurement Supervision Embrapa - Brasilia, DF 00:31:12 Jamil Machado: Bom Dia, 00:31:29 Paulo Roberto Coutinho: Bom dia! 00:32:00 Jamil Machado: Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares - IPEN/CNEN-SP 00:32:02 Tassia Silva: Good morning! I'm from State Government of Rio de Janeiro, public procurement advisor. 00:32:20 Christopher Yukins / GW Law: Jonas is citing our states' reverse auction laws -- the first true federal rules on reverse auctions (decades after Brazil's!) are about to be published in final form. 00:32:23 Sharon Brown: Good morning , thank you for this opportunity 00:33:27 Terminal 2: BOM DIA 00:33:48 Judson: Bom dia! Controle Interno da Universidade de Gurupi Tocantins - Unirg - Judson 00:35:16 Christopher Yukins / GW Law: As Jonas points out, the US$600 billion federal procurement regime is separate from the state and local markets and rules. We have almost no vertical integration in national-state-local rules. The American Bar Association is opening an effort to update a Model Procurement Code (2000), which is perhaps as close as we get to vertical integration. More information on the Model Procurement Code is on www.publicprocurementinternational.com. 00:37:52 Christopher Yukins / GW Law: The European Commission is looking to open the Canadian public procurement markets by mutual recognition of contractor registration, under the EU-Canadian Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA). That could be Brazil's future, under the Government Procurement Agreement, as contractor qualification systems "talk" to each other more effectively. 00:39:01 Christopher Yukins / GW Law: We are coordinating a study of US bid challenges under a congressionally mandated study with the US Department of Defense. More information on www.publicprocurementinternational.com. 00:40:15 Christopher Yukins / GW Law: We "copy and paste" our institutions from the British, e.g., our national art galleries. 00:42:10 Christopher Yukins / GW Law: The U.S. registration and qualification systems are now consolidated under the "System for Award Management" -- www.sam.gov -- which Jonas has cited. It is a play on the name "Uncle Sam," our national "mascot." 00:44:15 Christopher Yukins / GW Law: The rules regarding non-discrimination under the WTO Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) are very difficult to enforce in the United States. The easy bridging that Jonas foresees will depend on informal cooperation between Brazil and the United States -- which is very possible, that is how the defense markets have been opened, through intergovernmental cooperation rather than litigation. 00:48:33 Christopher Yukins / GW Law: I taught this morning for several hours in a class run by the centralized purchasing agency in Vienna, Austria, the BBG, on behalf of the European Commission. The Commission is investing heavily in building capacity in public procurement officials, especially those in the centralized procurement bodies. 00:49:49 Christopher Yukins / GW Law: The reality is that the international trade agreements, such as the GPA, serve as a "pathway" for sharing international best practices in procurement. 00:55:16 Renata Garcia Lima: True, the new public procurement law is coming with strong approach to planning, governance, accountability and top down continuing training 00:55:25 Victoria Christoff: Bom dia, estamos aceitando perguntas em portugues, nao so em ingles 01:06:10 Luciana Esteves: Bom dia Farmanguinhos/FIOCRUZ presente! 01:07:27 Christopher Yukins / GW Law: Brazil's advance in e-procurement is an important international model -- using government systems as the platform. The experiment in the United States in using third-party platforms (such as Amazon) for direct micro-purchases by government officials has been disappointing -- a recent GAO report said that, against hoped-for micro-purchases of $6 billion / year, in the first year the main U.S. centralized purchasing agency, GSA, saw only $60 million in sales through these third-party platforms. 01:10:27 Renata Garcia Lima: e-procurement, the e-marketplace, (will) also count on the virtual warehouse 01:11:41 Blessing Karadzandima: How long is the transition period. 01:11:55 antonio marques da silva júnior: 2 years 01:11:56 Fernando Correa: 2 years 01:12:06 Blessing Karadzandima: ok thanx 01:12:14 antonio marques da silva júnior: 18 months from now 01:12:40 Christopher Yukins / GW Law: As a result of the failure of the U.S. "national strategic stockpile" during the early days of the pandemic, U.S. procurement strategy is shifting to the "virtual stockpile" which Renata cites -- "virtual" stockpiling by mitigating supply chair risk through framework agreements for critical supplies. 01:14:25 Victoria Christoff: Para as participantes que estao "levantado a mao," por favor coloque suas perguntas aqui no chat, o podem fazer suas perguntas no final das apresentacoes. Obrigada. ////For those attendees who are "raising their hands," please place your questions here in the chat, or you can raise your questions at the end of the presentations. Thank you. 01:14:51 antonio marques da silva júnior: However, the scope of sanctions is ridiculously weakened, since suppliers receive sanctions in a certain institution and start to participate in processes of others. 01:18:09 Christopher Yukins / GW Law: The European Union's procurement directive, 2014/24/EU, Article 57, calls for contractors to provide victim compensation in the event that their bad acts have caused victims harm. It is an important international example of this type of human rights provision. 01:20:32 Ian Campbell: Good Morning Everyone 01:23:17 Soala Warmate: Good morning/afternoon to everyone, and thanks to Prof. Yukins, Ms Christoff and the GWU. Please, It will be helpful if the questions/contributions are translated to Portuguese and English Language. So that all participants will benefit from the knowledge and insight shared here. 01:24:29 Christopher Yukins / GW Law: An excellent idea, Soala -- thank you. 01:29:39 Christopher Yukins / GW Law: The Biden administration will soon issue proposed regulations governing environmental sustainability in U.S. federal procurement. The federal rules already call for eco-labels. Although the Biden administration has called for other public assessments of GHG emissions, it is unlikely that GHG emissions will be made a criterion for award in all federal contracts, because the data on GHG emissions for any given good or service are still not fully available in the commercial marketplace. 01:30:57 Victoria Christoff: Por favor, em vez de "levanter a mao," por favor, fazer suas perguntas aqui no chat, e apresentaremos suas pergunats as painelistas no final das apresentacoes. Obrigada //// Please, instead of "raising your hands," please place your questions here in the chat, and we will raise your questions to the panelists at the end of the presentations. Thank you. 01:39:32 Frank Tolin: Kindest regards. Regarding sanctions and criminal penalties: can you provide and example of a crime and the criminal penalty under the existing law and what the increased criminal penalty under the new law? 01:39:43 Christopher Yukins / GW Law: An interesting comparison for Brazil: then-President Trump withdrew the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations on his second day in office. Canada, Japan and others proceeded without the United States, and it is now the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). Although the TPP was originally intended to consolidate U.S. influence in the Pacific, now China has asked to join the CPTPP. If China joins ahead of the United States -- which is reconsidering its participation -- China will be able to influence the terms on which the United States might enter the CPTPP. 01:41:40 Christopher Yukins / GW Law: Even if Brazil does not offer dollar-for-dollar equal access to its public procurement markets, compared to the United States, the negotiations should still proceed. The United States insisted dollar-for-dollar reciprocity from Canada in the US-Mexico-Canada regional agreement; that aggressive position failed spectacularly, when the Canadians simply withdrew from the procurement chapter in the US - Mexico - Canada Agreement (USMCA). 01:42:31 Jamil Machado: Srs. na lei brasileira atualmente, quando ocorre a concorrência de empresas estrangeiras com empresas nacionais, caso a empresa estrangeira apresente o menor preço deve ser feito uma equiparação de preços ou seja ao valor da empresa estrangeira é acrescida os gravames dos tributos que oneram exclusivamente os licitantes brasileiros na operação final de venda, esta regra permanecerá nas novas leis? 01:45:17 Cesar Pereira: Frank, there are several examples. Bid-rigging increase from 2-4 years in prison to 4-8 years (article 90, Law 8.666; article 337-F, Penal Code, introduced by article 178, Law 14.133) 01:46:06 Frank Tolin: Wow! Great. Thank you. 01:48:18 Victoria Christoff: Para Jamil Machado, de Jonas Lima: Jamil Machado, a nova lei prevê que cada edital irá determinar a parte dos tributos, nessa questão de equalização entre propostas brasileiras e estrangeiras. Ficou mais flexível que a anterior sobre quais seriam os impostos (os recaem exclusivamente sobre brasileiras quando à operação final de venda). Mas a tendência, na prática, é que os editais continuem com regras similares. 01:48:27 Christopher Yukins / GW Law: The public consultation regarding the GPA appears to have been very hope and healthy. Similar consultations have not been possible in other GPA accessions, such as in post-Soviet states that lack a tradition of public dialogue such as you've seen in Brazil. These consultations are very important to ensure the perceived legitimacy of the GPA, as a country seeking accession sorts out its coverage offer. 01:48:45 antonio marques da silva júnior: Como trabalhar a questão do favorecimento às Micro e Pequenas Empresas com o GPA? Principalmente pela Constituição prever o fomento à economia local/regional. 01:49:06 Mariana Distefano Ribeiro: Is the GPA regulated by OMC? What are the requirements to join and what are Brazil deficiencies to join? 01:57:49 antonio marques da silva júnior: As Micro e pequenas empresas são as que sustentam muitas cidades interioranas, principalmente nos rincões da Amazonia Legal, sendo assim, um tipo de válvula de escape para essas regiões. 01:58:49 Frank Tolin: Even though the submission by Brazil is confidential, are there any practitioners (such as yourselves subject to a non-disclosure agreement) who were consulted for potential changes to the submission before submission? 01:59:00 antonio marques da silva júnior: Também acredito que as empresas do GPA entrarão em licitações mais vultuosas, porem, sem uma barreira limite, não há como prever o que ocorrerá 02:04:34 Natália Mussato: Obrigada pela apresentação 02:04:49 Heloísa Berto da Silva: Congratulations! 02:04:50 Maurissa De La Rosa: Thank you 02:04:53 antonio marques da silva júnior: Parabéns à todos os envolvidos!!! Muito boa explanação de todos!!
