Deputies from the Civic Coalition propose the creation of an Open Import Data Portal to ensure transparency in Argentina’s import licensing system. This project aims to replace the current discretionary approach, which facilitates corruption risks, with a comprehensive, digital public management regime using open formats. The initiative requires the detailed publication of applications, products, amounts, and statuses, ensuring that any citizen can access this information without barriers. The project establishes clear rules to streamline and make the administrative process more predictable, limiting resolution deadlines and establishing automatic approval if authorities do not respond within the stipulated timeframe. Additionally, it requires the tax agency to publish the criteria for taxpayers’ financial capacity. The objective is to eliminate opacity and the lack of justification in rejections, characteristics that have been identified as sources of abuses and economic distortions linked to the current exchange rate restrictions. This proposal is significant for open data because it applies its fundamental principles—accessibility, machine-readable formats, and regular updates—to a critical area of the economy and public administration. By transforming government data into accessible and understandable information, it strengthens accountability and empowers civil society to monitor the use of public resources. This exemplifies how data transparency can combat corruption and improve governance, aligning with international regulatory policy standards.
