BRASILIA, Aug 14 (Reuters) - A Brazilian Senate committee on Wednesday once again postponed a vote on a constitutional amendment proposal to grant financial autonomy to the central bank, which is backed by conservative lawmakers but opposed by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
The vote had already been delayed in July and the proposal's sponsor, Senator Plinio Valerio, said on Wednesday that the government had not approached him in the meantime to discuss the text.
