That the Bill registered under No. 26,510 only declares a zone of agricultural disaster and forest by fire for the period of SCIENTA (180) days extended by the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE PODER, to the Province of Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and South Atlantic Islands.
That, as can be seen from comparison, the aforementioned Bills provide different and diverse benefits to agricultural producers who were affected by adverse weather phenomena that compromised the production capacity of their establishments and consequently the economic and social development, local or regional.
That, on a case-by-case basis, in respect of the Province of Santa Fe, the Bills registered under the Nos were sanctioned. 26.512 and 26.514, including both Departments 9 July, Vera, San Cristóbal, General Obligado, San Justo, San Javier and Garay, but establishing different benefits, deadlines and scopes of the emergency declaration.
As stated in Decree No. 1128/09, by demonstrations of the Deputies, it is known that the parliamentary agreement between the various blocks was, in any case, to exclude from emergency declarations any reference to specific funds or determinations of budgetary allocations and/or tax benefits that are not fully consistent with the content of the draft law on the prevention and mitigation of emergency and agricultural disasters.
That, in this context, in addition to the Agricultural Emergency Law Projects sanctioned for the Provinces of Santa Fe, Mendoza, Catamarca, Salta, Neuquén and Santiago del Estero, at the same session, the HONORABLE CONGRESO OF THE NATION sanctioned the Draft Law No. 26,509 on the creation of the National System for the Prevention and Mitigation of Emergencies and Agricultural Disasters, with the objective to mitigate
That this regulation envisages the creation of the National Fund for the Mitigation of Emergencies and Agricultural Disasters (FONEDA) to finance the implementation of the National System for the Prevention and Mitigation of Emergencies and Agricultural Disasters.
The Fund ' s resources will be made up of those assigned annually by the National Administration ' s General Budget Act, which must reach at least an annual amount equivalent to MILLONES QUINIENTS ($ 500,000); those received through inheritance, legacies and donations; fines charged for breaches of the established regime and those coming from national and international loans; and other national and agricultural emergencies.
That these resources will be exclusively intended to finance the programmes, projects and actions of the National System for the Prevention and Mitigation of Emergencies and Agricultural Disasters to mitigate and recompose the damage caused by the emergency and/or agricultural disaster, through isolated or programmatic actions arranged concomitantly and subsequently, as appropriate, to the occurrence of emergency and/or agricultural disaster.
That the Bill also determines the benefits to be accorded to producers affected by the above-mentioned phenomena.
That such resources will be for: non-reimbursable contributions for investment costs to build facilities, equipment, fund improvements or other investments that reduce the vulnerability of small agricultural producers and establish special credit lines, or ensure by itself or through reciprocal guarantees companies such credits to finance investment costs and work capital for structural mitigation measures in the agricultural establishment and grace periods of up to DOS (2) years even by setting non-reimbursable bonuses.
In addition, it provides that declared a state of agricultural emergency or disaster, the Fund will be able to provide special financial assistance to affected producers and implement special tax measures.
That, therefore, a new regime in this area has been sanctioned, it is appropriate to apply the provisions of the regime, rather than to establish individual and distinct benefits for each Province.
On the other hand, in the field of the Ministry of Production, there are still several projects of declaration of agricultural emergency for the Provinces of Entre Ríos, Chaco, Corrientes, Santiago del Estero, Buenos Aires, La Pampa, San Juan, Córdoba, Mendoza, Salta, Chubut, Santa Cruz, Río Negro and Santa Fe.
That the purpose of the present is to grant the same benefits as the National System for the Prevention and Mitigation of Emergencies and Agricultural Disasters to all provinces alike, thus preserving the declaration of emergency, which in each case has been sanctioned and without effect the different particular provisions established.
That the mechanism that makes this possible is to leave the emergency declaration and to observe the rest, with the exception of the Province of Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and South Atlantic Islands, so that it can apply to all, the rules of the Bill No. 26.509 to be promulgated.
That, of course, the observation does not seek to guard any formal rigourism or undermine the unobserved legislative technique or simply leave aside in these cases by the legislator. It is a matter of giving the affected producer a serious and predictable response, with appropriate parameters such as the Bill that creates the National System for the Prevention and Mitigation of Emergency and Agricultural Disasters.
That the present is dictated in the use of the powers conferred on the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE POWER by Article 80 of the NATIONAL CONSTITUTION.
Therefore,
THE PRESIDENT OF THE ARGENTINA NATION IN GENERAL AGREEMENT OF MINISTERS
