DOBLAJE Decree 1091/88 Regulation of Act No. 23,316 Bs. As., 18/8/88
VISTO the sanction of Law No. 23,316 on the subject of bent, and
CONSIDERING:
That Law 23.316 seeks to bring to the Argentine audience films that are bent by announcers who possess our phonetic characteristics, promoting the development of an industry that has real export potential.
That it is up to the regulation of a law to specify those aspects that make their way of realization and the agile performance of those who are affected by it, establishing procedures that, at the same time, allow proper implementation of the will of the legislator, facilitate compliance with the obligations established by the actors involved and ensure effective control of the achievement of the objectives proposed by the Legislative Power.
That the measure is determined under article 86, paragraph 2, of the National Constitution.
Therefore,
THE PRESIDENT OF THE ARGENTINA NATION
RIGHT:
Article 1 - For the purposes of the law, it will be understood by "neutral Spanish language", by speaking pure, phonetic, semantic and syntactically, known and accepted by all the Spanish speaking public, free of regional idioms and expressions of sectors.
Their use should not denaturalize the works, particularly with regard to the composition of characters that require typical language.
Art. 2o - Importing-distributing companies should manage the televising permit for any material that is marketed in the country. If the material has been folded in the country, the permit will be accompanied by the bent certification.
The following procedure is established:
(a) An import, prior to its marketing, shall be declared by the importer-distributor to the National Institute of Cinematography, indicating its duration and category.
If the requirements of article 3 of the present regulation are satisfied, the Institute shall extend the permit for televising within five working days of its application.
(b) Made the folding of a material, in the country, prior to its marketing, the importer-distributor will declare it, adding to the import declaration the certification of the study and/or laboratory where they made or hired the folds. The National Institute of Cinematography will verify its regular registration in the Register of Studies and Laboratories of Doblaje and will extend the certificate of doubling within five working days of your application.
Art. 3o The requirements of the National Institute of Cinematography to extend the televising permit of a given material shall be as follows:
I) That the importing-distributing company is registered in the Register of Importing Companies-Distributors of Programs Packaging for Television.
II) That such material is free of debt to the National Institute of Cinematography.
The debt that prevents the issuance of the permit is the lack of payment of the import right and of the other taxes that tax the import for the goods, duly notified by the National Customs Administration to the National Institute of Cinematography.
III) That the National Institute of Cinematography does not contain that the importing-exporting company is disqualified by a firm court ruling to exercise trade for breach of contractual obligations, as it arises from article 7o in fine of the law.

Art. 5o - The percentages and deadlines, established in articles 2 and 4 of the law, shall govern in relation to the material effectively marketed by the importing-distributing companies, and in no case on the material they may import or have in deposit for their eventual sale, whether or not they are doubled.
For the purpose of calculating the doubling percentage carried out by importing-exporting companies, the filming footage marketed to a channel will be computed. The repetition of the sale of the same film material to another or more channels will be computed for the calculation of the percentage as another original sale, as well as its marketing to channels from other countries.
Art. 6th - Television channels covered by Article 5 of the Act should submit to the National Institute for Cinematography on a quarterly basis the documentation that demonstrates compliance with the percentages of material folded in the country.
