Agency says legal challenge and uncertain circular limit ability to enforce temporary transport tariffs
Summary
Agency head Ingeniero Jaime Alafuente González told a Senate commission that collection and enforcement of temporary transportation tariffs are constrained by an ongoing legal challenge to a carta circular and by limited staff and technical integration; the agency plans to submit the reglamento to the Junta de Control Fiscal and pursue remedies in the Supreme Court.
Ingeniero Jaime Alafuente González, president of the transport negotiado, told the Senate Commission on Innovation, Communications, Urbanism and Infrastructure on June 4 that enforcement of tariff changes has been hampered by an ongoing legal dispute and by structural limits on collection.
"La carta circular está impugnada," Alafuente said, noting that the temporary tariffs published Dec. 23, 2020 (effective Dec. 24) remain in legal limbo while the agency continues to develop a permanent reglamento and await the Junta de Control Fiscal's comments. He said he planned to file in the Tribunal Supremo and to remit the reglamento to the Junta la próxima semana for formal review.
