President Mauricio Funes has vetoed the legislative decree suspending the charging of $18 for non-intrusive inspections at customs offices in the country.
From a statement issued by the presidency of El Salvador:
The President, Mauricio Funes vetoed today, after considering it inconvenient, the six-month suspension of the collection of a few for the service of nonintrusive inspection at customs office, which deputies approved by Legislative Decree no. 629.
Industrial unions are pointing to "constant and unnecessary" confrontations between Funes and employers which is degrading the investment climate.
The President of the Salvadoran Association of Industrialists (ASI) accused Mauricio Funes of a "lack of investment" in the country, and that his statements undermine the climate of confidence needed to attract investment.
Salvadoran exporters and importers will continue to pay the $18 fee per load and only goods passing through will be exempt from the fee.
The authentic interpretation of the decree eliminating a charge of $18 for the non-intrusive inspection services at Salvadoran Customs offices was vetoed by President Mauricio Funes.
The signature of President Funes is still needed in order for the fee of $18 to be suspended for the non-intrusive inspections at customs offices in El Salvador.
Companies are calling for the presidential ratification of what has been passed in the Legislature, namely the suspension for 180 days of the charges on scans performed on exports and imports, and streamlining of the procedures for non-intrusive inspections.
The Salvadoran President has asked the SIECA to intervene in a trade dispute with Costa Rica.
President Mauricio Funes, believes that a regional agency should resolve the trade dispute with Costa Rica, which has requested the creation of an international arbitration group. The problem, Funes said, should be resolved by the Secretariat for Central American Economic Integration (SIECA).
President Funes signed the Law Against Money and Asset Laundering without noticing the lack of special controls for Politically Exposed Persons.
The special controls for Politically Exposed Persons (PEP), was one of the reforms that was left out because the deputies did not approve it and the President, Mauricio Funes did not suggest it despite this being a recommendation by the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force Group (CFATF by its initials in Spanish).
The new installations will carry out physical, chemical and microbiological analysis in order to ensure the safety of each product.

The Legislature will not accept Presidential comments on Act 53 which prohibits the use of agrochemicals, and will only increase the timeframe for their withdrawal.
The Committee on the Environment and Climate Change in Congress has set a deadline of one year for a ban on the sale of the pesticide "Paraquat" and two years for other products.
If approval is not given to the amendments to the Law on Public-Private Partnerships and the Money and Asset Laundering Act, the second disbursement will not be realised.
This was explained by Salvadoran President Mauricio Funes. "Donors are free to stipulate any conditions deemed appropriate. Everything that is the responsibility of the Executive has already been done," he said.
Congress supports the sale of 11 out of 53 of the banned pesticides but experts believe that these are the ones that cause the most damage.
MPs "... still have not reached an agreement regarding the comments made by the President, Mauricio Funes, on a reform to the Law on Control of Pesticides, Fertilizers and Products for Agricultural Use", noted an article in Laprensagrafica.com .
