VISTO is informed by the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, as proposed by the Minister of Defence, and
CONSIDERING
That the General MAJOR STATE OF FORCE AEREA is implementing production plans for its activity related to the development of the aerospace industry, including those related to IA-63 and CBA-123 aircraft.
That the production of IA-63 is of national interest because it is the means to equip the AEREA ARGENTINA FORCE with an advanced training plane to replace the existing material.
That the CBA-123 plane arises as a result of Protocol No. 12 "Aeronautical cooperation" which forms part of the Act for Argentine-Brazilian Integration, signed between the Presidents of the Argentine Nation and the Federal Republic of Brazil on July 29, 1986, its continuity being of national political interest.
That the AEREA FORCE ARGENTINA also performs tasks in other fields such as being, manufacture of parachute, products in composite materials, repair and maintenance of aircraft, its power plants, equipment and components, in general, commercial and industrial activities within the aerospace specialization.
That all these activities the General MAJOR STATE OF THE AEREA FORCE concrete them with the main intervention of the AREA OF MATERIAL CORDOBA, agency of its unit that in matters of procurement and contracting is governed by the system of Law No. 20.124 and its Jurisdictional Regulation by Decree No. 265/73.
That the said regime, suitable for the normal activity of the ARMED AND SECURITY FORCES OF THE NATION, it does not have the necessary flexibility for an industrial development that requires competitiveness for the placement of its products in the market.
That makes MATERIAL AREA CORDOBA an important centre of advanced technology, internationally recognized, to jeopardize its overall productive continuity and compliance with the above-mentioned manufacturing programmes to participate; to paralyse it would also entail a considerable socio-economic conflict of unpredictable consequences, given the number of personnel involved, whose training, like the specialized industrial equipment, required long-term investments.
That the technical-commercial relations established from the IA-63 and CBA-123 Programs have resulted in many opportunities affected by not counting the CORDOBA MATERIAL AREA, with an appropriate level of authority to resolve their contracts, a situation that results in increases in costs and execution times and impossibility of maintaining a direct and dynamic relationship with suppliers and customers.
That the ADMINISTRATIVE COMMISSION ON CONTRACTIONS OF THE FORCE AEREA, in the use of the power of interpretation that on the application of Law 20.124 and its Jurisdictional Regulation has according to paragraph 282 of the latter, has recognized the limitations of the current regulatory body of that regime, for the specific activity of the AREA of MATERIAL CORDOBA suggesting the adoption of another particular for the said organism, which conforms to the rules of procedure necessary to solve the problems of the industrial and commercial deterioration.
That while it is interpreted that the contracting regime to propose should be proper and particular for the CORDOBA MATERIAL AREA by similarity to others in force in State societies, the current legal situation of the said body as dependent on the AEREA MAJOR STATE does not allow such differentiation.
That for this reason and on the occasion of the already detailed industrial and commercial activity carried out by the AREA OF MATERIAL CORDOBA, it is imperative to include in the current Jurisdictional Regulation of the regime of Law No. 20.124, approved by Decree No. 265/73, new provisions that contemplate solutions that are compatible with the modalities of the market, in such a way that guarantee security, speed and efficiency in the fulfilment of the emerging commitments of their private actions.
That it is necessary and convenient to incorporate into the Jurisdictional Regulation of Law No. 20.124 approved by Decree No. 265/73 the rules for establishing more agile and efficient procedures for contracting in which the CORDOBA MATERIAL AREA is a party under the General MAJOR STATE OF THE AEREA FORCE, taking into account the specific activity that the GOVERNMENTAL Defence sector develops in accordance with the established policies.
That the present act is part of the powers conferred upon the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE PODER by articles 86 (1) and (2) of the National Constitution and 12 of Act No. 20.124.
Therefore,
THE PRESIDENT OF THE ARGENTINA NATION
