Carreiro was appointed to this post on the last day, but Ernesto Araújo did not explain the reasons for his departure.
According to the newspaper "O Globo", Carreiro could not remain in office if the status of the agency was changed, because he did not speak English and had no experience of the public sector in the field of trade.
