Economic Development Minister of the City did not want to be more in the middle of disputes between businesses and consumers. And chose one of two groups. For what? Yes guessed. Francisco Cabrera wants to encourage investment and not think of a better idea to dismantle the Department of Defense and Consumer Protection (DGDPC) and pass control of the ball to the Communal CGP, which depend on the Chief of Staff. All under the banner of decentralization, that during the administration left Macri flaming in ministry to warmly waved in a general direction, ie an area of \u200b\u200bthird level.
What we are counting on these lines is the unofficial history of the deputies who handle locals. Unofficial because she learned NEWS URBAN, was denied by the minister on telephone conversations he had with some of the legislators exacerbated. The denial did not stop Rep. Alexander Rabinovich (Autonomy Equality) prepare, with the explicit support of Ivana Centanaro (FPV)-owner of the Committee on Protection of Consumers and Users, and several other legislators, a project for the Buenos Aires Parliament expresses its "concern" in the event of the closing.
What are the hazards that materialize, government behind this move? For employees who work in the DGDPC, the biggest risk is the dismissal. For users and consumers, that their claims are in nothing. COMPLAINTS CELL
The DGDPC last year received 9,428 submissions and business users abuse this year, 7,800 more. Complaints can be made directly into the main building, Esmeralda 340, or the CGPC, which function as service windows.
unresolved records expire after three years. Despite having a vast structure, had to issue this DGDPC year a resolution giving low 2,000 files due during 2006 and 2007. No more evidence is needed to imagine what might happen if the address disappears and is replaced by a mini department to coordinate the User Submissions in the CGPC, as threatening the deputies handled version. Chances are that the actions of consumer protection was reduced merely to see formal complaints received by the Government of Buenos Aires.
The items that are at the top of the questions are the same as always: cell phone, cable / internet and electrical companies that do not respect the guarantees of the products. Once the complaint, the appropriate DGDPC to summon the parties in dispute to a voluntary audience. No need to go with a qualified representative. It tells the defendant what the law and that, if proven guilty, you can apply a fine of up to 5 million pesos. Six out of ten cases, on average, reach a settlement in that instance. If no agreement, the case goes to a body of law which dictates and proceeds to fine companies that it considers non-compliant national law 24,240, Defence of Consumers and Users. This rule, recently amended, incorporated the use of direct injury, which states that fined the company must also compensate the injured user or consumer to the extent of damage caused. For operational reasons, this still does not apply in the City, where users are compensated only if conciliation. DGDPC in the area also functions enforces the Fair Trading Act that punishes companies that, for example, are misleading.
"Many lawmakers locals and some media have given us the concern about the analysis being undertaken at present the Government of Mauricio Macri, from the initiative of the Minister of the Area, Francisco Cabrera, to dissolve the offices the Department of Defense and Consumer Protection. In taking this decision, the Head of Government found in the defense organizations of users and consumers substantial opposition, "says the head of the Defense Association of Consumers and Users of Argentina (adequate), Sandra González, on the website of that organization. There are reports that Macri's government "wants to eliminate and dissolve the Department of Defense and Consumer Protection, granting it the exclusive power to defend those rights to the Undersecretariat of the same name under the National Government." version differs from the latter point that circulates in the Legislature. But the central question.
The day before the last session, it finally fell, and by request of the owner of the block PRO, Oscar Moscariello, the opposition MPs had agreed to transform the project stating the concern of the legislature in order to report to the Government of Buenos Aires. This is a change that seeks to lower the decibels of the dispute. Means: a statement for granted the fact, a request for information, however, question its existence. And so, if the environment gets too hot, the executive can deny everything.
The best case scenario, then, is this: the opposition to comply with Cabrera back and nothing has happened here. The Government say that there was some legislative paranoia. And these lines
will be a new invention of journalism. Tomorrow
