The Brazilian government is looking to find ways to regulate new services coming up under the collaborative economy umbrella.
Given the impact on traditional services caused by alternatives such as Uber and Airbnb, the Lower House of the Congress created a special group to discuss the creation of a legal framework for the new services.
The first session of the special group took place yesterday (30). Over a four-month period, the theme will be debated in public hearings with representatives of the public and private sectors, representatives of the civil society and academia.
According to the leader of the special group, congressman Thiago Peixoto, the goal is to come up with recommendations to propose regulations across the various segments of the sharing economy – from ridesharing to crowdfunding – which do not restrict new businesses too much but also do not impact the traditional economy.
