LAW OF MINISTERIA Decree 1202/89 Amendment to the Ministry of Economy.

Bs. As., 6/11/89.

VISTO the Ministry Act (t. 1983) and the Nros Decrees. 15 and 134 dated 10 December 1983 and

CONSIDERING:

That the measure cited in the first place established the ministerial competences.

That the decrees mentioned later determined the Secretariats and Undersecretariats of the various ministerial areas and the PRESIDENCE OF NATION, assigning them their specific missions.

That by the Nros Decrees. 3855 of 11 December 1984; 359 of 19 February 1985; 1189 of 26 June 1985; 1758 of 11 September 1985; 2057 of 24 October 1985; 2436 of 24 December 1985; 1788 of 7 October 1986; 386 of 17 March 1988; 64 of 20 January 1989; 235 of 13 July 1989 and 355 of 20 July 1989

That the central objective of the economic policy implemented by the National Government is to achieve the Productive Revolution in the framework of a fair income distribution.

That a basic requirement for this is the rationalization of the State as it makes its proper and efficient integration into the economic and social system.

That this calls for achieving budgetary balance in the shortest possible time to eliminate inflationary pressures that distort the price system.

It contributes to this end not only to the determined and energetic action already initiated in the various components of public spending, but also to the increase in the collection of genuine resources to finance them, so that it realizes the principle of neutrality of public finances.

That voluntary compliance with tax obligations is not desirable, seen in the generalized tax evasion table that affects elementary standards of equity.

In order to achieve such objectives, it is necessary to adapt the organization of the MINISTERY of ECONOMY, creating, for that purpose, the SECRETARIAT OF PUBLIC INCOME and adjusting the competencies of the SECRETARIAN OF HACIENDA, whose current organization imposes a high level of centralization that does not allow the desirable management control over the collecting agencies under that Ministry, while decreasing the public restriction standard.

That the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE POWER is empowered to take the corresponding measures by virtue of its powers under article 86, paragraph 1 of the National Constitution and in particular by article 9 of the "Ministers Act" . t. or 1983.

Therefore,

THE PRESIDENT OF THE ARGENTINA NATION
