A r g e n t i n a 21. REGULATION
OF DISTRIBUTION OF NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES OR PUBLICATIONS The executive branch
implemented a statutory scheme of deregulation of the commercialization
process of newspapers and magazines in 1999. The Ministry of Economy
issued Resolution No. 416 of 1999 and repealed the old system in
effect since 1945 that permitted the sole distribution by members
of the street vendors union. The new deregulatory scheme, not yet
in effect, allows newspapers and magazines to utilize any adequate
means of distribution, including street vendors. The old legal scheme imposed upon the newspapers and magazines
the obligation of accepting the return of unsold issues and, in
such case, to reimburse the distributors and vendors for the sums
received for those issues. The Ministry of Labor recognized the
right to the stability of the vendors? location of sale. The Ministry
was responsible for determining the days in which there would be
no sale of newspapers and magazines.
