Anvisa's said the proposal would, in its opinion, bring Brazil into alignment with regulatory policies in most other countries surveyed by the agency. Anvisa noted the need for public feedback on the proposal, given the complexity of the issue with the involvement of multiple regulated product sectors. 

The proposal will be open to public consultation starting 22 July 2013.
