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

Deputies from the Civic Coalition propose creating an Open Import Data Portal to ensure transparency in Argentina’s import licensing system. This initiative aims to eliminate administrative discretion and the risk of corruption associated with frequent changes in requirements, such as those that occurred under the SIRA and its predecessors. By making all public information available in open and updated formats, the proposal prioritizes accountability and the traceability of commercial operations. The portal’s design requires that details of each application be published comprehensively and in a user-friendly manner, including the type of product, the amount, and the status of the processing. Additionally, it establishes a fixed, non-negotiable maximum deadline for resolving authorization requests, incorporating a positive “administrative silence” mechanism: if the authority does not respond within the stipulated timeframe, the license is automatically deemed approved. This approach seeks to replace current uncertainty with clear and predictable criteria, thereby reducing arbitrary interference in access to the foreign exchange market. This initiative is significant for the open data movement because it illustrates how proactive and technical publication of public information can serve as a tool for civic oversight and anti-corruption efforts. By democratizing access to essential regulatory data, it empowers civil society and academia to audit government management. The case demonstrates that transparency is not merely an ethical principle but a functional mechanism for improving economic efficiency and governance, aligning with international standards for open governance.
