Cade approved the sale of three units of Parmalat — a company in judicial recovery since June last year — to Perdigão. It also approved the purchase of stakes in four electricity transmission companies by Cemig and Brascan. The body understood that the operation did not represent any harm to competition, as Perdigão had practically no share in the dairy and biscuit markets. Before the operation, the operations of the two companies coincided only in the margarine market, but their share did not exceed 1%. The information is from the newspaper Gazeta Mercantil .

The OAB and 17 other entities that are part of the Forum for the Right to Access to Public Information sent a letter to the candidates for the Presidency of the Republic in which they request the inclusion, in the government program of the winner of the elections, of the commitment to send to Congress, next year, bill regulating access to information at all levels of public administration. According to Gazeta Mercantil , the objective is to make effective the principles set out in articles 5 and 37 of the Constitution.
Court dispute
Gazeta Mercantil also reports that a North American court rejected part of the lawsuit that chip manufacturer AMD is taking against its main rival, Intel. Delaware Special Data District Court Judge Joseph Farnan said U.S. law does not cover many of the claims brought by AMD in the lawsuit. The North American judge's decision follows several quarters in which AMD, the world's second largest computer chip maker, has taken market share away from Intel, which competes strongly with AMD.

Awaited with apprehension by financial institutions and consumers, the Federal Supreme Court ruling on the application of the CDC in relations between banks and customers will be published this Friday (29/9) and will serve as a parameter for the lines of conduct to be followed by parties. In June, the STF plenary understood, by nine votes to two, that consumer relations of a banking or financial nature must be protected by the CDC. According to this Thursday's edition of DCI , the big question now is whether the final wording of the ruling, bringing together the vote of all ministers, will exclude interest rates and tariffs from CDC regulation.
Tax amnesty
Valor Econômico publishes that after a tough negotiation, the Legislative Assembly of São Paulo approved, in a symbolic vote, the Executive's Bill 501, of 2006, which establishes the tax amnesty program for ICMS debtors, with exemption from up to 100% of the fines and 50% of the interest, resulting from triggering events up to December 31, 2005. The text is the result of ICMS Agreements 50 and 73, of 2006, signed by the National Council for Financial Policy, a meeting of the secretaries of State Treasury. The project still needs to be sanctioned by Governor Cláudio Lembo and its forms of membership regulated, possibly by decree.
ECAD obtained four requests for protection from the courts of Brasília, Goiânia, Rio and Belo Horizonte to guarantee the collection of public performance copyrights from the Mexican group RDB, which will tour the country in September and October.

Breach of confidentiality
The Federal Court authorized, as published by Folha de S. Paulo , the breaking of the telephone and banking secrecy of the six PT members considered involved with the purchase of the dossier against the Tucano candidate for the São Paulo government, José Serra. Based on the phone calls exchanged between the two directly responsible for closing the deal, Gedimar Passos and Valdebran Padilha, with the four who would have designed the operation — Jorge Lorenzetti, Oswaldo Bargas, Expedito Veloso and Freud Godoy — the Federal Police hopes to gather more elements to confirm everyone's participation in the case. The lawyers will appeal the decision.
Judge José Pires da Cunha, of the 5th Federal Court, in Mato Grosso, rejected a request from the Federal Public Ministry to kidnap and block the assets of the Vedoin family, accused of leading the bloodsucker mafia, whose empire began to be built in the city of Rio Grande do Sul by Silveira Martins, from the 1970s. The report is from the newspaper Estado de S. Paulo .

Also according to Estadão , the national vice-president of the Brazilian Bar Association, Aristoteles Atheniense, said that President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva 'discourages' the Federal Police by making statements that no one can be held responsible for infractions until all resources are exhausted.
