It is now very unlikely that CADE's activities will be disrupted before the end of the year

Yesterday the Senate approved the renewals of two mandates. Commissioners Olavo Zago Chinaglia and Vinicius Marques de Carvalho will have an additional 2 year-term each, and thus will integrate CADE's Board until August 2012. Both Olavo and Vinicius graduated and obtained PhDs in Law at the University of São Paulo. Olavo was a private practicioner before joining CADE, while Vinicius was already part of the Public Administration, helping to develop public policies in the Presency's Special Secretariat of Human Rights.
