TEXTO 01

Brazil participates in COP 16 as a leader, government says

Brazil should participate in the Convention on Climate Change (COP 16), between November 29th and December 10th, in Cancun, Mexico, in a comfortable position of leadership, that is, the commitment of demanding a greater engagement from the other participating countries, especially the developed ones, regarding the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. www.pontodosconcursos.com.br 2

CURSO ON LINE INGLS TEORIA E EXERCCIOS - SENADO AULA 05 PROFESSORA: ALINE ANDRADE That was the opinion of three specialists from the government who participated, on Thursday (25), in a public hearing promoted by the Committee on the Environment, Consumer Protection and Inspection and Control. The debate was about the new commitments that will be taken on by the Brazilian government during the COP 16 and the range of the targets set last year during the conference in Copenhagen. Brazils Climate Change ambassador, from the Ministry of External Relations, Srgio Barbosa Serra reminded that Brazil is being internationally respected for having committed itself to a reduction target of greenhouse gas emissions above the 30% recommended to developing countries. He also explained that, although the target for developed countries was set between 25% and 40%, based on 1990, an agreement on that matter will hardly be reached during the meeting in Cancun. That is because the United States did not manage to approve the bill on emissions reduction in the American Congress. In the ambassadors opinion, it would already be a very positive result if, at COP 16, all countries agreed that there will be a new commitment to reduce the emission of gases that aggravate global warming, following the Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012. According to Srgio Serra, the perspectives are better in the financial area, especially regarding the approval of a funding of US$ 30 billion in three years to countries that are more vulnerable to the greenhouse effect. Our position will be to try to guarantee the following: that the funding is done in the short term and that there is a concrete sign of the Kyoto Protocols continuity regarding the second period of commitments.

TEXTO 02

Clean Record Law to be suggested to Parlasul

Eligibility Rules similar to the ones of the Clean Record Law could also be applied to the direct elections to choose the future members of the Mercosul Parliament (Parlasul). That was one of the requests of the Brazilian Committee on Human Rights and Foreign Policy to the Committee on Citizenship and Human Rights of the Mercosul Parliament, in a meeting at the Senate, on Monday (22). To the representative of the Committee on Human Rights and Foreign Policy, Daniella Hiche, the recent Brazilian law defines essential ethical and moral requirements to qualify the future regional bloc's parliament composition. The citizens have the right to a truly democratic representation. The Clean Record Law is an advance and can be taken as reference, she said. The hearing's aim was to subsidize the annual report by the Committee on Citizenship and Human Rights about the human rights' situation in Mercosul countries. Nine Parlasul members, also members of the committee, took part in the meeting, including its president, Mirtha Palcios, the work coordinator from Paraguay. Senator Augusto Botelho (without party RR) and the federal deputy Geraldo Thadeu (PSB-MG) represented Brazil.

ALGUMAS QUESTES DE PROVA DO LTIMO CONCURSO

Half the nation, a hundred million citizens strong EVER since it was first spotted amid the factory smoke of western Europes industrialising nations, the middle class has borne the hopes for progress of politicians, economists and shopkeepers alike. It remains hard to define, and attempts to do so often seem arbitrary. But in Brazil, the middle class describes those with a job in the formal economy, access to credit and ownership of a car or motorbike. According to the Fundao Getulio Vargas (FGV), a research institute, this means households with a monthly income ranging from 1,064 reais ($600) to 4,561 reais. Since 2002, according to FGV, the proportion of the population that fits this description has increased from 44% to 52%. Brazil, previously notorious for its extremes, is now a middle-class country. This social climbing is a feature mainly of the countrys cities, reversing two decades of stagnation that began at the start of the 1980s. Marcelo Neri of FGV suggests two factors behind the change. The first is education. The quality of teaching in Brazils schools may still be poor, but those aged 15-21 now spend on average just over three more years studying than their counterparts did in the early 1990s. The second is a migration of jobs from the informal black economy to the formal economy. The rate of formal job creation www.pontodosconcursos.com.br 22

CURSO ON LINE INGLS TEORIA E EXERCCIOS - SENADO AULA 05 PROFESSORA: ALINE ANDRADE is accelerating, with 40% more created in the year to this July than in the previous 12 months, which itself set a record. Together with cash transfers to poor families, this helps to explain why in contrast with economic and social development in India or China as Brazils middle class has grown, so the countrys income inequality has lessened. Entering the middle class brings a predictable taste for yogurt and other luxuries. But when shopping, middle-class Brazilians are more conscious of status than middle-class North Americans or Europeans. These are people who may ordinarily serve others, says Nicola Calicchio from McKinsey, a consultancy, so being attended to by someone is very important to them. Middle-class Brazilians may avoid the glitzy stores that cater to the rich, but they do not want their surroundings to look cut-price either. That may be true elsewhere, too, but a sensitivity to surroundings not wanting to be made to feel cheap is particularly marked in Brazil.
