    BRASIL NEWS,Blog do Planalto-O estreitamento do diálogo político entre o Brasil e os Estados Unidos!

    O estreitamento do diálogo político entre o Brasil e os Estados Unidos

    Posted: 18 Feb 2011 08:09 AM PST

    Chanceler Antonio Patriota foi entrevistado nesta sexta-feira no programa Bom Dia, Ministro. Foto: Elza Fiúza/ABr

    bom dia, Ministro

    A expectativa da visita do presidente dos Estados Unidos, Barack Obama, ao Brasil, prevista para os dias 19 e 20 de março, é vista como "muito positiva", segundo disse o ministro das Relações Exteriores, Antonio Patriota, durante entrevista ao programa "Bom Dia Ministro", nesta sexta-feira (18/2), em rede nacional de emissoras de rádio. Conforme assinalou o chanceler, na visita deverão ser discutidos assuntos de ordem econômica, comercial, além do estreitamento do diálogo político entre os dois países. Patriota destacou que "os Estados Unidos são um país com o qual temos uma tradição de bom relacionamento, além de ser o segundo parceiro comercial individual do Brasil". Entre os temas de maior interesse, Patriota cita a área de cooperação em ciência e tecnologia, no momento em que o Brasil procura desenvolver sua produtividade industrial e competitividade.

    Além da discussão de todos esses pontos, o encontro deve dar uma conotação de tratar-se de uma visita de reafirmação da amizade entre os povos norte-americano e brasileiro. "O Brasil é o país com o maior número de afrodescendentes fora da África, e não pode deixar de nos sensibilizar a presença do presidente Obama no Brasil," disse na entrevista.

    Com relação aos biocombustíveis, o chanceler explicou que já existe uma agenda positiva com os Estados Unidos que beneficia terceiros países. Já sobre a tarifa imposta pelo Congresso norte-americano ao etanol brasileiro, o ministro explicou que isso tem penalizado as exportações brasileiras, e não há perspectiva de eliminação, a curto prazo, porque envolve interesses regionais específicos. Não é algo que dependa do presidente Obama, explicou ele: a dinâmica da política interna norte-americana impede que isso aconteça.

    "Além dos Estados Unidos, a presidenta Dilma também havia manifestado interesse em manter contato com a China – país que visitará em abril deste ano – em função desses dois países serem os principais parceiros comerciais do Brasil", esclareceu Patriota na entrevista.

    Ele lembrou, porém, que a prioridade da presidenta é a América do Sul.

    Ouça abaixo a íntegra da entrevista do ministro Antonio Patriota.


    Segundo o ministro, a relação com a China é cada vez mais importante para o Brasil, já que é a primeira parceira comercial. Embora existam aspectos no relacionamento que mereçam ser examinados, disse ele, não podemos esquecer que estamos tendo um superávit bem robusto com a China, que em 2010 foi de US$ 5,2 bilhões. Em sua avaliação, o relacionamento entre Brasil e China é um relacionamento intenso, complexo, mas que pode ser mutuamente benéfico.

    "É nesse espírito que a presidenta Dilma Rousseff deverá viajar até Pequim, e encontrar um equilíbrio que seja o melhor possível para os dois países."

    Questionado especificamente sobre a questão da concorrência chinesa e sua mão de obra barata, Patriota afirmou que isso pode causar um desconforto, especialmente nos setores de brinquedos e calçadista brasileiro. Mas, segundo explicou, o Brasil também emerge em setores específicos, em que desloca outros produtores.

    "De modo que é um jogo em que temos que nos preparar, temos que cuidar da competitividade da indústria nacional Esse é um tema que está na agenda do governo. Não é só através da proteção que nós conseguiremos superar essas dificuldades. Na verdade, a proteção geralmente desencadeia proteção do outro lado também, e aí nós ficamos em uma situação que é negativa para todo mundo. Eu acredito que o Brasil tem condições de se afirmar em inúmeros setores, inclusive no calçadista."

    Durante a visita à China, também está previsto um encontro com os BRICs (Brasil, Rússia, Índia, China, e agora também a África do Sul). Segundo Patriota, os chineses organizarão nos dias 14 e 15 de abril eventos com esse grupo, o que na avaliação do ministro será um encontro muito proveitoso e interessante para a coordenação de uma série de assuntos, inclusive os relacionados ao G-20.

    A retomada das negociações da rodada de Doha também foi abordada pelo ministro. Segundo ele, o Brasil está disposto a retomar a negociação, que prevê redução de tarifas e uma série de outras medidas no campo comercial, que podem beneficiar muito os países em desenvolvimento, como os africanos, por exemplo. Mas ele não considera razoável que se faça concessões adicionais.

    "O que não consideramos razoável é que países desenvolvidos, entre eles os Estados Unidos, em particular, exijam uma contraparte adicional àquela que estava sendo prevista em 2008, especialmente depois de uma crise econômica que foi deflagrada em consequência de atitudes tomadas no Norte, não foi o Brasil que provocou essa crise econômica. Na verdade, foram os países emergentes que mais ajudaram a retomada da economia mundial. De modo que já estamos dando uma contribuição muito importante."

    Patriota reafirmou, durante no programa "Bom Dia Ministro", que a questão dos direitos humanos é fundamental para o Brasil, um país que atribui grande importância às liberdades civis, políticas, à liberdade de expressão, e que tem trabalhado muito pela redução da desigualdade e da pobreza. Segundo ele, um país adquire mais autoridade no cenário internacional para falar de direitos humanos quando ele faz o seu dever de casa e quando procura melhorar a situação internamente.

    O chanceler também reafirmou que o Brasil defenderá sempre uma abordagem equilibrada e justa do assunto, desde que isso não se transforme em uma agenda de cunho político. Questionado especificamente sobre o Oriente Médio, o ministro declarou: "eu não acho que o Oriente Médio seja necessariamente uma região prioritária para se falar de direitos humanos. Todos os países do mundo podem melhorar a sua situação em matéria de direitos humanos, independente do grau de desenvolvimento.

    A respeito da relação do Brasil com o Irã, o ministro esclareceu que o que houve não foi uma aproximação com o governo do Irã, mas um esforço para contribuir para a criação de confiança entre países como os Estados Unidos e o Irã, e contribuir para que houvesse uma solução diplomática para a questão, que é uma das mais complicadas da agenda internacional.

    "Consideramos que é interessante manter um diálogo com o governo iraniano, até mesmo para diminuir as tensões, porque o isolamento às vezes só exacerba o que já é uma situação preocupante e que pode levar a um conflito."

    Patriota afirmou que não identifica problema no relacionamento diplomático entre Brasil e Itália, em função da situação de Cesare Battisti. Segundo o ministro, trata-se de uma situação que se encontra agora no contexto do Judiciário, e que seguirá seu curso no Judiciário.

      Remarks by the President Obama on America's Great Outdoors Initiative!

      The White House

      Office of the Press Secretary


      THE PRESIDENT: Well, welcome to the White House, everybody. It is great to have you here. What better place to hold our Great Outdoors event than right here, inside the East Room. (Laughter.) We thought it might be a little chilly for some of you. Not the folks from Montana. (Laughter.) Now, while an indoor celebration of the great outdoors may seem strange, it is worth noting that the White House is actually inside a 82-acre national park –- including an area once found to have the "densest squirrel population known to science." (Laughter.) This is true. So we've got that going for us. (Laughter.)

      I want to thank Sally for the terrific introduction. I asked her if she brought me any gear. She said that Secret Service wouldn't let her -- otherwise she would have. (Laughter.)

      I also want to make a couple of acknowledgements -- people who have worked so hard on this initiative, and I want to make sure that they get all the credit in the world: my great Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar, is here. (Applause.) My outstanding Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack. (Applause.) Tom is still recovering from the Super Bowl -- big Steelers fan. (Laughter.) Went down to the game, all that stuff. Had the towel. (Laughter.)

      Administrator of the EPA, Lisa Jackson. (Applause.) Chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, Nancy Sutley. (Applause.) Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works, Jo Ellen Darcy. (Applause.) And somebody I am just thrilled to have here because this is my model for public service and just not only a great former senator but also just a class act and a wonderful gentleman, who I have not seen in a while -- John Warner of the great Commonwealth of Virginia. (Applause.) Best to you, John. Thank you.

      We also have -- in addition to Sally, I want to make sure that everybody knows who's standing behind me here -- Dusty Crary, who's a rancher from Rocky Mt. Front Advisory Committee -- Dusty. (Applause.) Sam Solomon, the president and CEO of the Coleman Company. (Applause.) John Tomke, president Sporting Conservation Council, Ducks Unlimited. (Applause.) Troy Uentillie, Navaho Nation member and the Sherman BIE School. (Applause.) And Rebecca Wodder, president of American Rivers. (Applause.)

      All these folks have just done a lot of work to make this day possible.

      Now, in 1786, Thomas Jefferson described the view from Monticello: "How sublime to look down into the workhouse of nature," he wrote. "To see her clouds, hail, snow, rain, thunder, all fabricated at our feet." To most Americans at the time, Jefferson's experience was a familiar one. The vast majority of the continent was wilderness. No matter where you lived, you didn't have to travel far to find acres of open fields and unspoiled forests.

      But in the years that followed, Americans began to push westward. Cities sprang up along riverbanks and railroad tracks. The nation grew so fast that by 1890, the census director announced that he could no longer identify an American "frontier." And yet, in the midst of so much expansion, so much growth, so much progress, there were a few individuals who had the foresight to protect our most precious national treasures -– even in our most trying times.

      So at the height of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln agreed to set aside more than 60 square miles of land in the Yosemite Valley -– land he had never seen -– on the condition that it be preserved for public use. Teddy Roosevelt, of course, our greatest conservation President, wrote that "there is nothing more practical in the end than the preservation of beauty." Even FDR, in the midst of the Great Depression, enabled the National Park Service to protect America's most iconic landmarks –- from Mount Rushmore to the Statue of Liberty. So conservation became not only important to America, but it became one of our greatest exports, as America's beauty shone as a beacon to the world. And other countries started adopting conservation measures because of the example that we had set.

      Protecting this legacy has been the responsibility of all who serve this country. But behind that action, the action that's been taken here in Washington, there's also the story of ordinary Americans who devoted their lives to protecting the land that they loved.

      That's what Horace Kephart and George Masa did. This is a wonderful story. Two men, they met in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina -- each had moved there to start a new life. Horrified that their beloved wilderness was being clear-cut at a rate of 60 acres a day, Horace and George worked with other members of the community to get the land set aside. The only catch was that they had to raise $10 million to foot the bill.

      But far from being discouraged, they helped rally one of the poorest areas in the country to the cause. A local high school donated the proceeds from a junior class play. Preachers held "Smokey Mountain Sunday" services and encouraged their congregations to donate. Local businesses chipped in. And students from every grade in the city of Asheville -– which was still segregated at the time –- made a contribution.

      So stories like these remind us what citizenship is all about. And by the way, last year Michelle and I, we were able to walk some of the trails near Asheville and benefit from the foresight of people that had come before us. Our daughters, our sons were able to enjoy what not only Teddy Roosevelt did but what ordinary folks did all across the country. It embodies that uniquely American idea that each of us has an equal share in the land around us, and an equal responsibility to protect it.

      And it's not just the iconic mountains and parks that we protect. It's the forests where generations of families have hiked and picnicked and connected with nature. It's the park down the street where kids play after school. It's the farmland that's been in the family longer than anybody can remember. It's the rivers where we fish, it's the forests where we hunt.

      These days, our lives are only getting more complicated, more busy, and we're glued to our phones and our computers for hours on end. I have to -- Michelle and I, we're constantly having to monitor our kids, get outside. Turn off the TV. Put away the Skype. (Laughter.)

      Cars and buses shuttle us from one place to another. We see our kids spending more and more time on the couch. For a lot of folks, it's easy to go days without stepping on a single blade of grass.

      At times like these, we have to ask ourselves: What can we do to break free from the routine and reconnect with the world around us? What can we do to get our kids off the couch and out the door? And by the way, because I'm a smart husband, I, here, want to point out all the great things that Michelle is doing with the "Let's Move" initiative to help kids stay active and healthy. (Applause.)

      Today, our open spaces are more precious than ever -– and it's more important than ever that we come together to protect them for the next generation.

      So, in my first months of office I signed a public lands bill -- that many of you worked on -- that designated two million acres of wilderness, over 1,000 miles of wild and scenic rivers and three national parks. (Applause.) I'm very proud of that. And some of the members of Congress who worked with us on that are here today, and we're very proud of them.

      But at a time when America's open spaces are controlled by a patchwork of groups, from government to land trusts to private citizens, it's clear that conservation in the 21st century is going to take more than just what we can do here in Washington. Just like the story of the Great Smoky Mountains, meeting the new test of environmental stewardship means finding the best ideas at the grassroots level. It means helping states, communities and non-profits protect their own resources. And it means figuring out how the federal government can be a better partner in those efforts.

      And that's why, last year, we launched the America's Great Outdoors Initiative. Over the last 10 months, members of my administration have held more than 50 listening sessions with over 10,000 people -– from hunters and fishermen to tribal leaders and young people. And together, we've laid the foundation for a smarter, more community-driven environmental strategy.

      To make it easier for families to spend time outside no matter where they live, we're going to work with cities and states to build and improve urban parks and waterways, and make it easier to access public lands.

      To encourage young people to put down the remote or the video games and get outside, we're going to establish a new Conservation Service Corps so they can build a lifelong relationship with their natural heritage. And this is something I know Ken cares deeply about. (Applause.)

      To help set aside land for conservation and to promote recreation, we're proposing to fully fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund, for only the third time in our history. (Applause.) And we're intending to pay for it with existing oil and gas revenues, because our attitude is if you take something out of the Earth, you have a responsibility to give a little bit back to the Earth. (Applause.)

      So these are the right steps to take for our environment. But they're also the right steps to take for our country. They help spur the economy. They create jobs by putting more Americans back to work in tourism and recreation. They help inspire a new generation of scientists to learn how the world works. They help Americans stay healthier by making it easier to spend time outside. And they'll help carry forth our legacy as a people who don't just make decisions based on short-term gains of any one group but on what's best for the entire nation in the long run.

      So working together to protect the environment we share, lifting up the best ideas wherever we find them, preserving the great outdoors for our children and for their children -- that's our responsibility.

      The great Rachel Carson once wrote that "The real wealth of the nation lies in the resources of the Earth -— soil, water, forests, minerals, wildlife... Their administration is not properly, and cannot be, a matter of politics." Something more than politics. That was the call echoed by Jefferson and Lincoln and Roosevelt. It's the call that has driven generations of Americans to do their part to protect a small slice of the planet. And it's the call that we answer today.

      So I'm grateful to all of you for the great work that you've already done. Keep it up. Thank you. God bless you, and God bless the United States of America. (Applause.)
