According to Deputy Gilmar Machado, the government leader in the Congress, processes for the construction of stadiums and infrastructure will be governed by more flexible rules to ensure the execution of work.

Changes include the reduction of requirements for environmental licenses, for expropriation of property and for contracting companies under emergency regime when necessary.

According to Machado, the works that need to be implemented faster are those to renovate and expand Brazil’s airport infrastructure.

In response to concerns that the relaxation could lead to irregularities, the deputy said there will be supervision and control of the Court of Accounts of the Union.

“We are solving a problem for 2014 World Cup, which will be in Brazil. That does not mean that there will be no supervision, we will do everything that has to be done,” he said.

The construction schedule for the tournament is delayed, which provoked complaints from FIFA to Brazilian government.
