The new Inspection Law introduces a comprehensive reform in this field, aiming to enhance transparency, efficiency, and the rationalization of public resources. One of the key changes is the consolidation of inspectorates to avoid overlapping functions and improve inter-institutional coordination. This will enable a more effective management of financial and human resources while improving the quality of inspection processes.
An innovative aspect of this law is the introduction of warnings as the primary administrative measure. This means that, in addition to traditional fines and sanctions, entities will have the opportunity to rectify irregularities before being penalized, shifting the focus of inspections towards prevention and awareness.
Furthermore, the law modernizes inspections by integrating technology and risk analysis, reducing unnecessary controls, and focusing attention on higher-risk entities. An integrated database will facilitate the categorization of entities and the more effective management of information.
Another important element is the establishment of an independent appeals mechanism to review objections to measures taken by the inspectorates. This mechanism will ensure a more transparent and impartial process, providing better legal protection for inspected entities.
To ensure a unified and coordinated approach at the national level, the law provides for the establishment of the Inspection Board as the body responsible for coordinating and defining inspection policies and standards. This board will oversee and harmonize inspection practices, ensuring their implementation by the relevant inspectorates.
With these changes, the new law aims to create a more modern inspection environment by balancing oversight with support for entities while also reducing administrative and bureaucratic burdens for businesses and institutions.
