The Executive Branch proposes the creation of a Public Registry of Interest Managers in which individuals and companies that engage in lobbying must register. LOBBY before officials or legislators. There is also a registry for public officials. The proposal bears some similarities to the law of LOBBY from the United States. In the region, Chile also regulated this. In Argentina, a 2003 decree is in effect that requires executive branch officials to report their meetings with lobbyists. Experts consulted point to shortcomings such as a lack of transparency in travel, the acceptance of gifts, and meetings held by legislators, among other issues.
