He Government confirmed this Sunday that it will deregulate the service postal mailcurrently in charge of the company Correo Argentino, entirely state-owned. The measure will be confirmed this Monday through the Official Gazette.
As stated from the Ministry of Deregulation and Transformation of the Statewhich will work together with the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology to advance the project, the objective of the measure is “to promote the free competition and the elimination of bureaucratic decisions that restrict the supply of goods and services.” In addition, they added that they seek “promote transparency, simplification, digitalization and greater security of the service.”
In this way, they will establish “new guidelines” for the development of activity in Argentina.
How mail deregulation will take place
The portfolio directed by Federico Sturzenegger specified that as of this change, legal entities will be able to register with the authority of application “in a simple, electronic, free and declarative manner.”
Registration will be done only once at the beginning of the activity and they will be able to automatically start their activities from the 5 days from the date of your registration. This registration will constitute sufficient authorization to carry out the activity.
Furthermore, human persons will be allowed to offer the service of Urban Courier, with or without vehicle, in short periods and short distances.
In addition, those operating in the local and international postal market will be able to determine the staffing, modality, types of services provided, the equipment, means of transportation and premises required for their activity.
For example, they will decide if they will offer the service of sending letters, documents, telegrams, reliable communications and postal orders.
On the other hand, the Government will enable the copies and proof of delivery to the recipients of the telegram and document letter be in digital formatas well as the backup. In turn, identity verification can be carried out via RENAPER or other means of remote verification.
The Government highlighted the deregulation of the mail service
The libertarian administration considered: “The overregulation of postal activity has created barriers to entry into the marketin such a way that competition is restrictedleading to poorer quality service and higher prices. Therefore, lists of excessive requirements to carry out the activity and records that imply greater bureaucracy and less transparency are eliminated.”
In turn, he assured: “This measure “does not innovate or alter the provisions on postal secrecy or security matters”.
