The delay is due to the
national Government's shift in focus to other public policies related to the
economic emergency facing the country, which has resulted in the State's
scarce human and financial resources being allocated to address urgent
matters relating to the crisis. Nevertheless, as part of the new policy to
normalize foreign trade, work is currently under way to ensure that this
provision is implemented from a regulatory and operational standpoint and in
the most feasible time frame possible.

The Argentine
Republic has made substantial progress in developing its systems and its
procedures portal and in gradually incorporating interoperable procedures
into national agencies through the Single Window for Foreign Trade (VUCE).
However, more time than previously requested is needed to achieve full
implementation.

Work is under way to obtain a second extension of the international
financial assistance programme, to facilitate project implementation.
