BUDGET Decree 2625/92

Bs. As., 29/12/92

VISTO Draft Law No. 24,191 of the Budget of the National Administration for the year 1993, sanctioned on 22 December 1992, communicated by the HONORABLE CONGRESS OF NATION for the purposes provided for in article 79 of the National Constitution, and

CONSIDERING:

That the aforementioned Bill constitutes a fundamental instrument of the economic policy of the National Government, and a basic guide for the effective allocation of available resources.

In order not to violate such concepts, it is appropriate not to enact certain rules.

Article 21 of the Project creates, within the jurisdiction of the MINISTERY OF HEALTH and SOCIAL ACTION, the Social Development Programme and also determines the concepts and amounts in which the credit assigned to the Programme should be invested.

That the same article states that the authorizations to spend will be granted by an Inter-Ministerial Committee composed of the MINISTERIES OF HEALTH and SOCIAL ACTION and ARTWORKS AND PUBLIC SERVICES, empowering the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE POWER to determine the conditions to be met by the requirements, the criteria for evaluation in the allocation of the resources and the procedures for surrender and surrender.

Notwithstanding the power referred to in the previous consideration, the second paragraph of Article 21 of the Project predetermines amounts and sets concepts, which is contradictory, which is why the second and fifth paragraphs of Article 21 of the Project should be observed.

Article 26 of the Project provides for the sum of SCIENTA MILLONES DE PESOS ($ 180,000) to meet the debts referred to by subparagraphs (b) to (h) of Article 7 of Law 23.982. Within this amount, the Bill assigns the sum of CINCO MILLONES DE PESOS ('$ 5,000.000) for the attention of the payment of compensations derived from the expropriation of the western access of the Federal Capital in its section Av. General Paz - Arroyo Morón.

Article 7 of Act No. 23,982, provides that the Budget Act shall allocate resources annually to meet the consolidated liability of the National State.

That the amount set out in Article 26 of the Project, set a global amount to be applied in accordance with the degree of priority set out in Article 7 (b) to (h) of Law 23.982, which is not compatible with the provisions of the last paragraph of Article 26 of the Project, and therefore it is appropriate to observe this paragraph.

Article 39 of the Draft Law provides for a reinforcement of CATORCE MILLONES DE PESOS ($ 14,000.000) for internal security, by means of a reduction in the amount of the credit assigned to the Program 018 es Assistance for Provincial Reforms, in the jurisdiction of the MINISTERIO DEL INTERIOR

That the resources allocated to this programme are intended to enable the completion of various public works carried out within the framework of the former Regional Development Fund, so it is considered appropriate to observe article 39 of the Bill.

That Article 41 of the Project establishes the distribution of the budget allocated to the HONORABLE CONGRESS OF NATION in proportion to the number of legislators that make up each of the Chambers, after deduction of the funds necessary to administer the common and symmetrical organisms to them.

That by legal provisions in force the Presidents of both Chambers have the power to restructure their budget within the total assigned to the Legislative Power.

That it is appropriate to observe article 41 of the Project.

That therefore, it proceeds to be used by article 72 of the National Constitution to the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE PODER.

Therefore,

THE PRESIDENT OF THE ARGENTINA NATION
