The Government’s resolution

“The decree signed by the president Javier Milei, Guillermo Francos and Luis Caputo ends with one of the most absurd procedures that our automotive cargo suffered”, highlighted the Minister of Deregulation and Transformation of the State, Federico Sturzenegger.

“In 2023 there were 150,000 useless procedures, which cost 500 million pesos and could delay a vehicle up to 70 days,” said the minister and noted: “Today, thanks to the Bases Law, we can modify Law 24,653 and directly eliminate it. Nobody will miss this procedure whose elimination recovers days for the industry and production.”.

“A colorful note about the RUTA,” he added and detailed: “To avoid this, the truck companies created the double cabin truck, which in practice is categorized as a car and therefore did not require the RUTA. In other words, the cost of this useless procedure “It exceeded that of the procedure itself because it implied a dysfunctionality of the transport vehicle itself.”

Likewise, the measure establishes the responsibility of the State to guarantee broad competition and transparency in the automotive freight transportation market and that no national, provincial or municipal provision interferes or hinders said services.

“The RUTA only imposes bureaucratic burdens that hinder free initiative and hinder the full exercise of economic activity.which is the true engine of the development and prosperity of the Nation, requiring documentation that the State already has or duplicating the oversight powers that other organizations already have,” it was established in the Bulletin.

And he added: “The elimination of this type of obstacles is essential to free the productive forces and allow individuals to deploy their potential, without it being necessary to require unjustified procedures in the State. It is necessary to move towards an economic model that promotes deregulation and the elimination of barriers that hinder growth and innovation, giving society back the possibility of prospering without arbitrary conditions.”
