The claim involves the vote and approval of MP 959, which extends the entry into force of the LPGD to May 3, 2021, which must occur until August 26, since after that date the MP loses its validity; the creation of the National Personal Data Protection Authority, which awaits the presidential decree establishing the parameters of its structure and the appointment of 5 directors by the Presidency of the Republic to form its Directive Council; and the vote of Constitutional Amendment Proposal no. 17 of 2019, which elevates the protection of personal data to a Constitutional right and guarantee and establishes the Union's private competence to legislate on the subject.
In the letter, the representatives of these entities explain the current scenario of legal uncertainty and consider that: "LGPD is an opportunity to provide quality service and generate new business. Therefore, in order to have the protection of privacy in Brazil in balance with legal security, it is also essential to extend the entry into force of the LGPD. We understand that during this period the creation of the ANPD must take place, its internal structuring, the works around the regulatory pieces (which involve wide and unrestricted public consultation) and guidance and education of organizations and citizens around these rules ".

As of the launch of this letter, the representatives of the entities hope to build a "broad business front in Brazil and abroad to raise awareness among the authorities about the importance of legal security around privacy and data processing in Brazil. The action is open to the adhesion of new institutions that want to be part of this movement ", explains Andriei Gutierrez, coordinator of the ABES Regulatory Committee.
