As promised, the many major pieces of legislation that did not receive final action in the last session of Congress were reintroduced yesterday amid promises from the leadership that all will be passed this year. Reintroduced were: the draft Monetary and Financial Code; the bill to create a General Health Law; the Export Promotion bill; the draft Market Regulation Code (which includes provisions on consumer protection, intellectual property, unfair competition and restrictive business practices); the Forestry Code; the tariff and tax reform bill; the bill to authorize the government to emit debt bonds; and a bill to create the National Rice Institute. The only two major bills not yet reintroduced are the draft Electricity Law and the Social Security reform bill.
