Through Resolution 51/2024, the portfolio headed by Pablo Lavigne eliminated dozens of regulations that governed internal trade. What was its purpose?
Commerce promoted the repeal of the access program for regional products in large supermarkets
The Secretary of Commerce , led by Pablo Lavigne , ordered the repeal of 69 regulations that “hindered commercial relations between citizens and promoted an interventionist role of the State.” The objective of the measure is to “reduce bureaucracy, strengthen competition and improve trade.”
Among the repealed regulations are SiFIRE, a system that established the obligation to report labels and labels of new products, and SIPRE, an information regime for prices and quantities sold of final and intermediate goods established during the administration of Alberto Fernández.
Also, it was decided to repeal complementary regulations to the Gondolas and Supply Law, already eliminated through the mega DNU signed by President Javier Milei , which established its supervision and compliance.
Information regimes of maximum prices, Careful Prices, were also eliminated, as well as the repeal of any complementary regulations of the Fair Prices program, since it had ended on December 8.
Likewise, the repeal of the access program for regional products in large-scale supermarkets was promoted, “aiming for this type of policy to be promoted by provincial governments, addressing the challenges of each regional economy, thus helping to promote the real federalism,” Commerce said in a statement.
In short, regulations linked to intervention in the information process of fees of privately managed schools and universities were eliminated, the obligation for refrigerators to report weekly their prices and quantities sold, and a regime for treating consumer over-indebtedness that “ "It violated basic aspects of the National Constitution in accordance with what is established in article 42, of users and consumers," they maintained.
“The meaning of these measures is to simplify commerce, debureaucratize State management and prevent both citizens and companies from wasting time and resources sending information that became unnecessary,” said Lavigne.
