LEY DE PRENDA Decree 897/95 Approve the orderly text of Decree-Law No. 15,348/46, ratified by Act No. 12,962 and amended by Decree-Law No. 6810/63.

Bs. As., 11/12/95

VISTO Decree No. 2284 of 31 October 1991 ratified by Article 29 of Law No. 24,307, Law No. 23,928, Decree No. 146 of 31 January 1994, Law No. 20,0004, Decree-Law No. 15,348 of 28 May 1946, ratified by Law No. 12,962 and amended by Decree-Law No. 6810 of 12 August 1963 and Decree No. 10,574 of 13

CONSIDERING:

That Article 1 of Decree No. 2284/91, ratified by Article 29 of Law No. 24,307, left without effect, inter alia, the restrictions on the supply of goods and services throughout the national territory, as well as the other limitations that distort market prices avoiding the spontaneous interaction of supply and demand

That such a rule has eliminated restrictions limiting competition in markets or hindering the development of foreign trade, in order to avoid artificial imbalances in prices relating to the whole of goods and services marketed exclusively in the domestic market and goods marketed in the external market, which affected the external competitiveness of the national economy.

Through it, it sought to ensure the basic exercise of the freedom of trade and free access to markets by producers and consumers, thereby strengthening the constitutional rights to trade, work and exercise any legal industry.

As a result, limitations for the long-term financing of the acquisition of capital assets have been without effect, and therefore the character of a Prenda with Registry creditor is not restricted to the international financing agencies in which the ARGENTINA REPUBLIC is a member, but includes both natural and legal persons abroad.

This necessarily implies the elimination of restrictions that hindered the access of different sectors of production and the general public to sources of financing such as the creation of security rights on machines and goods, for the acquisition of capital goods and durable consumption.

That Decree No. 146/94, issued in the terms of Article 10 of Act No. 23,696, emphasizes rules of operation of the financial system under conditions of openness and competence, facilitating the reduction of the costs of intermediation to a level compatible with those existing in the international market, and an equal treatment that allows the access and development of the entities governed by the Act, whether national or foreign.

That therefore, pursuant to Article 29 of Act No. 24,307 ratifying Decree No. 2284/91 and under Article 1 of the latter, subparagraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) and the requirements and limitations required by Article 5 (e) of Decree-Law No. 15,348/46, ratified by Law No. 12,962 and amended by Decree No.

As a result, the penalty established by Article 45 (i) has been virtually lost in respect of non-compliance with Article 5 (e).

That Law No. 23.928, which established the convertibility of weight, also amended Article 617 of the Civil Code, providing that in the obligations in which it is stipulated to give currency that is not legal in the Republic, the obligation must be considered to give sums of money.

Moreover, under Article 11 of Law No. 23,928 the second paragraph of Article 1 and the last paragraph of Article 43 of Decree-Law No. 15,348/46 ratified by Law No. 12,962 and amended by Decree-Law No. 6810/63.

In view of the fact that Decree-Law No. 15,348/46 ratified by Law No. 12,962 and amended by Decree-Law No. 6810/63 authorizes the creation of a garment on goods, thus understanding the immaterial rights and the things that are susceptible of value, and that Article 11 of the above-mentioned rule considers that the garment of a trade fund is composed of other honourable distinctions and all commercial property,

That according to the rules mentioned in the above, the provisions and goods in general, belonging to commercial, industrial or financial establishments are covered by the concept of goods referred to in Article 14 of Decree-Law No. 15.348/46 ratified by Law No. 12.962 and amended by Decree-Law No. 6810/63.

That, therefore, it is necessary to clarify that in the case of entities for financial purposes and other service providers, the money, credits and titles representing them are equivalent to goods and raw materials in general belonging to commercial and industrial establishments.

That, in turn, has lost virtuality the maximum period authorized for the formation of floating garment provided for in the aforementioned norm.

Article 1 of Act No. 20.004 empowers the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE POWER to order the laws without introducing any modifications in its texts, except those which are grammatically indispensable for the new ordination.

It is therefore appropriate to order the garment regime established by Decree-Law No. 15,348/46, ratified by Act No. 12,962 and amended by Decree-Law No. 6810/63.

That the present is dictated in the use of the powers conferred by Article 1 of Law No. 20.004 and those arising from Article 99 (1) of the National Constitution.

That's why.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE ARGENTINA NATION
