Decree 507/2000

Bs. As., 28/6/2000

VISTO Issue No. 001-002728/2000 of the registration of the MINISTERY OF ECONOMY and the Bill of Law registered under No. 25,249 sanctioned by the HONORABLE CONGRESS OF NATION on 10 May 2000 and

CONSIDERING:

That through the Bill quoted in the View, the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE PODER is empowered to agree with the Government of the PROVINCIA of the PAMPA, the transfer of the Retirement and Pension Scheme for the staff of the PAMPA BANCO to the INTEGRAD SYSTEM of JUBILATIONS and PENSIONS (SIJP).

That such an agreement shall include the workers currently working in the PAMPA BANCO and those who are incorporated after the signing of the convention to which reference is made.

Article 3 of the above-mentioned Bill provides that the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE POWER shall grant the benefits of the Public Previsional Regime provided for in article 17 (a), (b), (c) (d) and (e) of Law No. 24,241.

It is necessary to observe the same because it includes benefits to be granted by the NATIONAL STATE that require the entry of Social Security Contributions and Contributions to the INTEGRAD SYSTEM of JUBILATIONS and PENSIONS (SIJP) prior to the date of transfer and the entry into force of Law No. 24,2441.

In addition, the article does not provide for the right to option between the Public Reparto Regime and the Capitalization Regime provided for in Act No. 24,241, creating unequal treatment between the various beneficiaries of the INTEGRAD SYSTEM of JUBILATIONS and PENSIONS (SIJP).

That consequently with what is expressed "ut supra" article 4 should be observed in the reference it makes to article 3 of the Bill.

Article 6 establishes a system of compatibility between the benefits provided for in the Public Previsional Regime stipulated by Title II of Book I of Law No. 24,241 establishing the provincial regime for the staff covered by Article 2 of the Bill.

That the compatibility between the Provincial Previsional Regime and the INTEGRAD SYSTEM of JUBILATIONS and PENSIONS (SIJP) imports an exception to the regulations in force in the matter and to the governing principle of the agreements on the transfer of the provincial and municipal social security regimes to the National State, signed in the framework of the FEDERAL PACTO for the EMPLEO, the Provincial PRODUCTION and the National Jurisdiction

That such compatibility should arise from an economic, financial and benefits analysis to be undertaken by the National State, which is why it is considered appropriate to observe Article 6.

That this measure does not alter the general regulatory framework or the spirit of the Draft Law sanctioned by the HONORABLE CONGRESS OF NATION.

That the General Directorate of Humanitarian Affairs DE ECONOMIA has taken the intervention that belongs to it.

That the present is given in the use of the powers conferred by article 80 of the NATIONAL CONSTITUTION.

Therefore,
