SUMMARY:

This paper aims to review the systematic of the local content policy in the oil sector from the perspective of development, mainly considering this phenomenon as a fundamental objective of the Republic in the 1988 Federal Constitution (art. 3, II) and its legal implications . With the relaxation of the Union's monopoly on oil activities (EC 9/1995 and amendment of article 177 of the CF), the National Agency for Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels - ANP was created to regulate the sector, through the promulgation of the so-called 'Petroleum Law' (Law 9.478 / 97). Among the sector's regulations, the local content policy was instituted through a clause inserted in the oil contracts to guarantee the participation of the Brazilian industry in the supply of goods and services, defined in percentages that the operators would commit to comply with. Applied since 1999 (first bidding round), the policy aims to promote the development of local suppliers, technological development, generate employment, income, qualified labor and economic and social spillovers, as well as making the local industry competitive internationally. Then considered a developmentalist policy, it has a legal basis in the Federal Constitution with regard to development as a fundamental objective of the Republic and in the objectives of the “Petroleum Law” with regard to the preservation of the national interest, the promotion of development and expansion of the oil market work, as well as expanding the country's competitiveness in the international Market. It is in this sense that it is questioned whether the local content policy promotes the development sought by the Constitution. There is a whole administrative machine (direct and indirect administration) specific to regulate the sector, with the ANP standing out for the institution of its own local content policy and its controversy regarding the possible violation of the principle of legality when creating obligations and punishments. However, there are bills that intend to regulate the matter in progress in the houses of the Legislative. Despite the application having generated benefits to the national industry, problems were identified in the PCL system, especially in TCU's technical audit and in the exposure of data in recent years, asking whether the initial development objective is being met or if there is only one market reserve. The work uses the hypothetical-deductive method, gathering the main norms related to the theme (which are scattered), documentary research, data collection and bibliography for theoretical support. It is concluded that the current model based on obligations and punishments is inefficient, and should have regulatory improvements, with periodic review of protection levels, defined goals, monitoring to know objectively the reality of the sector, prioritize certain strategic sectors, focus on international competition and transact to a model more focused on stimulus and the right of first refusal.
