CONSIDERING:
That commercial companies of capital carrying out the exploitation of domestic and international air transport services must comply with the requirement that most of the actions, to which the majority of computable votes correspond, be nominal, and belong to Argentines with a real domicile in the Republic.
That this reference includes both Argentinean natural persons and Argentine legal persons, both with real domicile in the Republic.
That such hermeneutics is consistent with the provisions of article 2 inc. 4 of the Foreign Investments Act (t. Dto. 1853/93) which defines the local national capital company, and the provisions of the Commercial Societies Act No. 19.550.
That it is not the will of the National Executive, as a regulatory and enforcement authority of the rules of the Aeronautical Code, to limit or restrict its application, as this would not be consistent with the policy of deregulation of privatized public services and the economic activity of production of goods and services in general that has been implemented by the National Government, nor with the very unregulated evolution that air transport has experienced in the international arena in the last decade.
That this is equally consistent in a complementary manner, with the objectives pursued by article 10 of Act No. 23.696, which authorizes the National Executive Power to provide, where necessary, the exclusion of legal norms whose maintenance is in conformity with the objectives of privatization or prevents the demonopolization or deregulation of the respective service.
That the Executive Power is empowered to dictate this measure under article 86, paragraph 2, of the NATIONAL CONSTITUTION.
Therefore,
