The Civic Coalition has proposed the creation of an Open Data Portal for imports, aiming to replace the discretion inherent in the current system with strictly transparent management. The fundamental objective is to eliminate the corruption risks associated with import licensing procedures, which have historically lacked clear parameters and adherence to deadlines, allowing officials to approve or reject applications without objective justification. This portal would require all public information, including applications, amounts, and processing statuses, to be published in open and digital formats. It also establishes a maximum time limit for resolutions, providing for automatic approval if the established deadlines are exceeded. This measure seeks to ensure predictability and simplify administrative procedures, aligning management with international standards that prioritize free access to regulations to prevent abuses. The initiative is significant for the open data movement because it demonstrates how technical transparency and public access to administrative information can serve as mechanisms for political and economic oversight. By transforming state data into accessible and standardized resources, it empowers citizens to conduct social audits, reducing the opacity that facilitates corruption and demonstrating the practical utility of open data in combating the abuse of state power.
