📋 Tender Overview
The Senate Economy Commission approved a series of articles of the initiative and hopes to dispatch it to its pair of the Treasury next week. A noun advance had in the Senate the project in the second process that establishes a framework law of sector authorizations, after the instance approved a series of articles that contain basic principles to expedite the permissions of permits in the country. This was explained by the Red Senators Edwards and Gaston Saavedra, president and member of the Economy Commission, respectively, who valued the agreement that allowed to advance with the particular procedure of the initiative. We had many advances. We approved the principle of standardization so that the permits are similar with each other, when they are obviously the similar authorizations and also the principle that allows the parallel processing. This is that you do not need, for example, to have a reception of a staircase to have a health permit to make a restaurant, but to do them in parallel, which can be a time saving for the very large investment, said Senator Edwards.
The president of the instance explained that they hope to finish the analysis of the indications next Tuesday morning, for which they will meet in extensive Monday afternoon in order to advance the pending issues. We have some things that we still have to polish, but I am confident that we will be able to achieve and that we are going to respect, the agreement that we had signed together with the ministry two months ago. This project is an agreement. Here are both parties, we are giving a lot and I think that, if you approve with everything about the agreement - which we still do not know, you have to wait for those votes - I hope that I do represent at least one path of solution for the future, Edwards. Meanwhile, Senator Gaston Saavedra highlighted the approval of several articles, noting that this allowed advancing in principles that are elementary to expedite everything that are the permission procedures to develop investments in the country. Everything that also has to do with the order that will be carried out, because it regulates many laws and many public institutions that have to do with construction permits, municipalities, ministries, ministries. The legislator said that what is being sought is to streamline everything that is the procedures to shorten the deadlines of the procedures. That is, the processing of the language disappears.
It is also created a new institutionality that will be a super institutionality that will carry out the procedures with more speed and then allow investment in the country. The Sector Authorizations Framework Law Project provides a general framework to ensure compliance, standardization and coordination of the forms established for the action of the State Administration bodies, with competence to enable projects or activities subject to regulatory limitations; grant greater certainty to the headlines and people who develop these activities, as well as to the general citizenship; and promote the development of productivity, growth and investment through the creation of mechanisms and instruments of regulatory improvement. It should be remembered that one of the criticisms that are made is that the obtaining of authorizations has been transformed into one of the restrictions on the materialization of investment in Chile, which would have its origin in the inorganic increase of authorizations without taking into account the entire legal framework, in the wide regulatory dispersion on the matter, the lack of institutionalized instances of review or rationalization of the sectoral authorizations and the lack of sector authorizations Coordination and joint work spaces of the State Administration bodies.
