Bs. As., 2/5/96

VISTO Law No. 24,629, and

CONSIDERING:

That the above-mentioned law delegates authority in the area of administration in the National Executive Branch in the terms of article 76 of the National Constitution, in order to carry out, in its scope, the reorganization of the national public sector in order to achieve greater efficiency and rationalization of the same, through the modification, merger, transfer of agencies to the provinces, prior agreement, and total or partial deletion of objectives, competencies, functions and responsibilities superimposed, duplicated or whose scope has become unnecessary.

That the NATIONAL SUPERINTENDANCE OF FRONTERAS has as its mission to assist the Minister of Defence in the planning, coordination and monitoring of actions aimed at promoting the development of the Area and Areas of Border and to act as a working body for the fulfilment of the responsibilities assigned to the National Security Zones Commission.

In turn, Act No. 22,352 established the legal regime of border centres, assigning the administration of border centres to the NATIONAL SUPERINTENDANCE OF FRONTERAS.

That the role of the NATIONAL SUPERINTENDANCE OF FRONTERS as a cross-cutting general coordinator of the activities common to the implementation of national, provincial and municipal agencies acting in the international authorized border crossings is delegated to the National Gendarmerie.

With regard to the border centres, the only centre with such a category is that of Paso de los Libres, in the Province of Corrientes, the development of other border centres has not been promoted since its creation.

That in terms of the authority to authorize residencies in security zones, such attribution is the responsibility of the National Security Zone Commission, which currently exercises the aforementioned NATIONAL SUPERINTENDANCE OF FRONTERAS, by delegation of the Commission.

That the functions relating to the defence of national security have been delegated by the NATIONAL SUPERINTENDANCE OF FRONTERAS in the Argentine Naval Prefecture and the National Gendarmerie.

That the analysis of the functions assigned to the NATIONAL SUPERINTENDANCE OF FRONTERAS arises that they are mostly covered by other agencies, which reveals the overlapping of functions and therefore the desirability of dissolution within the framework of the administrative reorganization provided by Law No. 24,629, to achieve greater efficiency and rationalization of the national public sector.

That the present measure is determined in the exercise of the powers of article 99, paragraph 1, of the National Constitution and Act No. 24,629.

Therefore,

THE PRESIDENT OF THE ARGENTINA NATION
