	Paraná (Brazil)
		There is hereby adopted as the particular standard of the State of Paraná the flag presented by citizen Manoel Correia de Freitas at the session of the Legislative Assembly of 3 July 1891 and executed by the artist Paulo de Assumpçao.
		Ribeiro mentions that the 1905 flag of Paraná was abolished by state law 2182 of 15 March 1923.
		The 1947 flag was altered in 1990 by deleting a white band inscribed with the name of the state across the blue celestial sphere on the center and by changing the artistic rendering of the branches surrounding the sphere.

		João Chiminazzo Neto is the regional director in the Brazilian state of Paraná for ABCR — the Brazilian Association of Highway Concessionaires.
		The project was a key component in a development program created by the state administration at the time, which called for a network of highways serving all regions in the state.
		At first, the state government attempted direct intervention in the system, under the pretext of preserving the public order — threatened, in fact, by the absence of police repression during the invasion and destruction of toll booths by militants from landless peasant movements.

	PRINT Brazil states offer own not-so-GM-friendly readings of lifted moratorium
		The port's grain warehouses are being examined after the state government on Monday banned GM soy and Paranagua, Brazil's main soy port in Parana state, suspended soybean shipments for four to five days while the grain was tested.
		In a statement published by the Agencia Estadual de Noticias news agency, the state government said that the GM soy was partly Brazilian and partly Paraguayan.
		Parana state government's action could cause a diplomatic dispute with Paraguay because Paranagua port is federally owned and managed by the state under a concessionary agreement.

		The state bill will become law after it is signed by governor Roberto Requiao, who has been outspoken in favor of banning GM soy planting and sales in the state.
		But Carlos Albert Savior, head of the state's crop defense department, said the new law should not present a problem for local producers because he did not believe there was GM soy planting in Parana.
		Parana's Paranagua port is in negotiations with Chinese importers to provide GM free soybeans in exchange for rather large minimum import guarantees from China.

	Brasil 11.517 - merits
		According to the State, Brazilian legislation admits the trial of a civil suit for damages independently from the filing of a criminal action, while enabling the judge in the civil action for damages to suspend it until the criminal suit is heard.
		On the contrary, an investigation must have an objective and be assumed by the State as its own legal duty, not as a step taken by private interests that depends upon the initiative of the victim or his family or upon their offer of proof, without an effective search for the truth by the government.
		If the State apparatus acts in such a way that the violation remains unpunished and does not fully restore the victim‘s rights, to the extent possible, it could be charged with noncompliance with its duty to guarantee free exercise by persons under its jurisdiction.

		Although the first blood samples confirming the outbreak of FAM in Parana were reported three months ago, the livestock sacrifice only began this month because Parana State officials insisted the animals were healthy.

		The formation of innovation systems in Paraná State is a recent phenomenon, essentially related to the industrialization process implemented in the 1960s, as well as to the evolution of scientific and technological policies adopted since then.
		The Paraná State economy reacted positively to the incentives of federal government economic policies, showing a GDP growth of 153% in the period of 1970-75.
		On the other hand, privatization of state sanitation companies may streamline the technological catching-up through partnership with more dynamic companies from the sanitation sector worldwide, such as the Vivendi Group, Thames Water and Lyonnaise des Eaux, which have striven to increase their shares in the Brazilian market.

	Landlords prevent agrarian reform
		In this moment it is very important to ask the government of the state of Paraná to take urgent measures to end the acts against the families carried out by the armed military groups and to speed up the process of the agrarian reform.
		The state’s obligation to fulfil the people’s rights to feed oneself requires that the state must be open to the demands of marginalised groups such as the landless and must successfully implement integral programmes – like the agrarian reform – to improve the situation of deprivation that those without access to productive resources suffer.
		Taken the obligations adopted by the Brazilian state in consideration, I therefore ask Your Excellency to take the measures necessary to end the violent acts against the land less in the state of Paraná, punish those responsible for these violent acts, and dismantle the private military groups of landlords.

		Parana state farmers resolved to put an end to the arm wrestling with Governor Roberto Requião, who has tried to make the state an area free of transgenic crops.
		According to the two entities, in the 2003/04 crop, transgenic soybeans were planted on various farms and many farmers saved seeds for this crop in expectation that their commercial planting would be freed.
		They say Parana farmers were pressured not to plant transgenic soya by a state law that prohibited the production of genetically modified products but which subsequently was suspended by the Federal Supreme Court (STF).

		Soy analysts said Parana's and Paranagua's efforts to be GMO-free would likely result in chaos in Brazil soy export sector as the soy harvest picks up pace in the coming months.
