The Senate of the Dominican Republic has approved the legislation to modify the law on government contracts for goods and services after two readings. This bill had come from the Chamber of Deputies with some modifications that needed to be voted on. The bill is aimed at ensuring transparency in public bids for goods and services. The Senate also approved the legislation that would provide for a law on the right to obtain varieties of vegetables. This project was promoted by former Agriculture Minister Amilcar Romero. The proposed law is designed to protect the rights of producers who obtain certain new varieties of vegetables. Another important step taken by the upper house was the approval of the creation of the Ministry of "Hacienda" or Treasury. The new ministry will be responsible for establishing fiscal policy, including tax policy, budgets and internal and external financing.
