Brasil Telecom meets requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley Act

Brasília, June 20, 2007 - Brasil Telecom Participações S.A. (NYSE: BRP; BOVESPA: BRTP3/BRTP4) and Brasil Telecom S.A. (NYSE: BTM; BOVESPA: BRTO3/BRTO4) (“Brasil Telecom” or “Company”) inform that they have successfully concluded the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“SOx”) section 404, regarding the internal controls over the consolidated accounting statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.

SOx, a U.S. law published in June 2002 to protect shareholders of publicly-held companies with shares traded in the New York Stock Exchange against accounting fraud risks, requires the improvement of the structure of the companies internal controls and processes and achieve a greater transparency in their activities. The section 404 requires an annual evaluation of controls and internal procedures for the distribution of financial reports and, in addition, it requires that the independent auditors attest to management assertions related to the effectiveness of internal controls and procedures for preparing and distributing financial reports.

Regarding the certification, Brasil Telecom has been working since the actual management arrived, in the end of 2005. The first step was the creation of Corporate Governance Office whose, besides the fulfillment of good corporate governance practices, like the Ethics Code and the Hot line, has strengthened the relationship with all the Company’s departments, which have worked together to obtain the certification.

Now Brasil Telecom is part of a select group of companies that have a standard of world-wide corporative management. The certification is the recognition of months of all Company’s department hard work and also a challenge that renews each year. One time more, Brasil Telecom confirms that is a transparent Company and has controls that guarantee the reliability of the information.
