The Competition Tribunal accepted the National Economic Prosecutor’s Office request to propose the modification of Article 9 bis, first paragraph, of D.F.L. N° 382, of 1988, of Ministerio de Obras Públicas, that exempts concessionaires of water treatment and sewage companies of payment of certain municipal charges for the use of national goods, without extending the same benefits to other sewage installers.
The Tribunal considered that this difference is a legal discrimination that hinders free competition, since it increases the cost of the sewage installers that are not favored by it.
