In what was interpreted as an endorsement of the SIRA system, it ruled against the importation of “non-essential products for our industry.”
The Justice endorsed the SIRA system (System of Imports of the Argentine Republic) by rejecting precautionary measures filed to be able to import “high-end” faucets and “premium” drinks.
The rejection of both precautionary measures corresponded to the Federal Contentious Administrative Court No. 9, in charge of Pablo Cayssials.
In the precautionary measures, in one case, the “unconstitutionality” of the SIRA system and, on the other, the “extremely high costs” to the detriment of the “rights” of the company.
cayssials considered that both proposals were “inadmissible” and that “foreign currency cannot be allocated to companies that intend to circumvent import controls to bring in products that are not essential for the operation of our industry.”
“We must work to sustain employment and national production,” urged the magistrate in the grounds of the ruling released this Friday.
