Buscan transparentar el registro de licencias de importaciones para agilizar las solicitudes y evitar discrecionalidades

The Civic Coalition has proposed the creation of an Open Import Data Portal to transform the management of import licenses in Argentina, currently operated through the SIRA system. The project aims to eliminate administrative discretion and corruption risks by ensuring that all information related to import applications is public, up-to-date, and digitally accessible. This initiative responds to criticisms that previous systems, such as SIMIs and DJAI, have been replaced by mechanisms with broad state discretion that unreasonably restrict imports and undermine economic predictability. The proposal stipulates that information must be published in open formats, detailing the type of product, amount, date, and status of each application. It also introduces a regime of positive administrative silence, whereby the lack of response within a specified timeframe implies automatic approval of the license, thereby eliminating officials' ability to block processes without justification. Additionally, the AFIP (Federal Administration of Public Revenue) is required to clearly publish the criteria for determining taxpayers' financial capacity, ensuring objective and transparent standards that reduce uncertainty for importers. This article is relevant to the open data community because it exemplifies how proactive disclosure of administrative data can serve as an effective tool against corruption and arbitrariness. By mandating open formats and free access, the project aligns public policies with the principles of open governance, demonstrating that digital transparency not only improves bureaucratic efficiency but also protects citizens' rights by reducing opacity in sensitive economic processes.
