The proposed capitalization of Petrobras (Bovespa: PETR3/PETR4, NYSE: PBR / PBRA, Latibex: XPBR / XPBRA, BCBA: APBR / APBRA), in package of four bills sent to Congress by the government to regulate the exploiration of oil in the pre-salt layer, has a series of "omissions" that could undermine the initiative. The analysis was performed by four legislative consultants of the Senate, the study Assessment of the Proposed Regulatory Framework of the Pre-Salt, which should inform the parliamentary debate on the matter.

The need to establish a state enterprise, the Petro-Sal, to oversee the consortium of oil exploration in the pre-salt is one of the main questions raised by four Senate's legislative consultants, two lawyers and two economists, in the the study of Assessment of the Proposed Regulatory Framework of Pre-Salt.
