The National Senate passed unanimously a bill that seeks to promote Dominican exports in general. The bill had been submitted to Congress on 18 November 1998. The bill was included on the agenda yesterday. The Senate acted upon the law responding to general criticism given the low productivity of the organization that is known to spend more time in political squabbles than attending to national interests. The press has repeatedly highlighted that since being sworn into office on August 16, 1998, local congressmen have not passed any bill of any importance.
