Deputies from the Civic Coalition propose establishing an Open Data Portal for Argentina’s import system, with the primary objective of eliminating the discretion and corruption risks associated with current licensing procedures. By mandating the complete and real-time publication of key information—such as the status of applications, product types, and involved amounts—the initiative seeks to ensure that authorization management is objective and predictable, thereby reducing officials’ ability to make opaque, arbitrary decisions. The project stipulates that this digital transparency, using open formats, should become the legal standard for any present or future import system. It also introduces citizen protection mechanisms, such as fixed maximum processing deadlines and automatic approval of licenses if authorities fail to respond within the established timeframe. This aims to counteract the lack of justification for rejections and indefinite delays, ensuring that the criteria used to assess taxpayers’ financial capacity are public and clear. This initiative is crucial for the open data movement, as it demonstrates how the proactive availability of government data can serve as a tool for civic oversight against corruption. By aligning import policies with internationally recommended principles of regulatory transparency, it shows that free access to information not only strengthens institutional trust but also enhances predictability for economic actors, preventing data from being used solely as mechanisms for arbitrary restriction.
