VISTO Laws 23,696 and 23.697, Decrees No. 435 of 4 March 1990, 612 of 2 April 1990 and its amendments, Decree No. 1482 of 2 August 1990 and Decree No. 1757 of 5 September 1990, and

CONSIDERING:

That Act No. 23,696 on State Reform has declared in the State of Emergency the provision of public services in the whole area of NATIONAL PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION.

That, on the other hand, Act No. 23,697 of Economic Emergency put the State ' s emergency police in power, in order to overcome the situation of collective danger created by the serious economic and social circumstances, which the Nation has not yet completely overcome.

In this context, NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION (Centralized, Special Accounts and Decentralized Agencies) suffers from serious shortcomings in its administrative organization and in the quality of services it should provide to the community, noting that this is a situation tends to worsen, seriously compromising the provision of basic services, such as health, education and security, among others.

Likewise, the state of administrative disorganization can compromise the economic stabilization programme and constitute an obstacle to productive growth as an immediate step after achieving economic balance.

That in this order of ideas, the deterioration and operational inefficiency of the current administration has reached limits that dangerously affect irrenunciable responsibilities of the State, such as the perception of taxes and fees that sustain the actions of the Public Powers and represent the materialization of the Social Contract.

That all of this should be added a disturbing disregard of the normative provisions of the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE PODER and the authorities that integrate it, which requires in a drastic and immediate way the restoration of administrative responsibility at all levels of the NATIONAL PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION.

In that regard, it should be pointed out in particular that the National Government detected the causes of the current situation and that they respond, among others, to the dimensioning of existing structures, the overlap and excessive normative complexity, the scissuring of the administrative career and the lack of real incentives.

That the circumstances set forth do not leave the National Government any other way than to deepen the efforts made to date in order to address the adoption of emergency solutions, at the limit of their powers, in order to ensure an immediate improvement in administrative organization and operation.

That in this environment, the dictation of measures that mark the end of a period of frustration and decay of the Argentine State and the beginning of a stage of change, signified by a modern mentality in accordance with the principles of the new international context.

That, therefore, the measures envisaged in the present decree are aimed at ensuring a substantial improvement in administrative efficiency and rationality, the decision-making capacity of the Administration, as well as a redimension of its structures and functions.

That the National Government intends to use the savings generated by the proposed measures to strengthen the provision of basic services and hierarchy of the administrative career, taking into account the inevitable social costs involved in such measures.

In addition, the Administrative Reform Programme will enable the reduction of existing interferences affecting the free development of economic activities, which will result in a higher level of collective efficiency.

That according to the above, it is necessary to simplify and reduce the administrative organization and the procedures governing its functioning.

In order to achieve a rapid improvement in educational services and hierarchy to teachers, it is essential to concentrate human resources on strictly educational tasks at the head of students, to promote greater dedication to education, to rationalize bureaucratic administrative tasks, on the understanding that the resulting economies will be turned over to the strengthening of the educational system.

That, by virtue of the state of backwardness and accumulation of procedures relating to the certification of services of teachers in the field of the Ministry of EDUCATION and JUSTICE, it becomes virtually impossible to comply with the provisions of Article 3° "in fine" of Law 23.895, it is essential to circumscribe the determination of the calculation of the monthly retirements, in order to enable the immediate enjoyment of the benefits.

That economic growth and the modernization of the productive apparatus also require the reorganization of scientific-technical agencies and services for the promotion of foreign trade, through the participation of private capital and the renewal of the management modalities of these sectors.

In this regard, the privatization of services, the deregulation of markets and the technological development of PUBLICA ADMINISTRATION are indispensable elements for supporting economic growth and productive revolution.

That the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE PODER is not insensitive to the social costs of the administrative transformation, and therefore it has considered especially an equitable compensation to the agents who voluntarily withdraw and the operationalization of the labour reconvention programme with incentives for the transfer of public personnel to the private enterprise and specific support to lower-income agents.

That it is a firm purpose of the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE PODER to promote the repeal of existing social security legislation, which grants certain State officials the right to avail themselves of regimes that require age or antiquity or contain formulas of determination of having or other rules of different nature than those of the general regime.

Consequently, on 28 February 1990, the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE POWER submitted to the consideration of the HONORABLE CONGRRESS OF NATION a bill inspired by the above-mentioned guidelines.

That until the LEGISLATIVE POWER is pronounced on the subject, and in response to an ethical attitude that must be an example of the conduct to be followed by the highest-ranking officials, it is considered appropriate to require them to assume the commitment not to receive retirement regimes of the nature of those indicated.

That Article 86, paragraph (1) of the NATIONAL CONSTITUTION, instructs the CHAIRMAN of the NATION as the Supreme Head of the Nation and places the overall administration of the country in his office.

That in that capacity the PRESIDENT OF IA NATION should exercise the necessary and appropriate powers to effectively fulfil these irrenunciable powers.

That the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE PODER, in addition to the powers conferred upon it by Article 86 of the NATIONAL CONSTITUTION, may exercise legislative powers when the need is made present and the urgency justifies it, with the support of the best constitutional doctrine and the jurisprudence of the SUPREMA COURT OF NATION JUSTICE.

That, in this regard, it is the intention of the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE PODER to exercise such powers in the cases of Articles 1 (second paragraph) 20, 23, 30, 31 and 79 of this Decree.

Therefore,

THE PRESIDENT OF THE ARGENTINA NATION

RIGHT:
