Resolution amending and adding provisions to the General Rules applicable to General Warehouses and Exchange Houses

The resolution amends the General Rules applicable to General Warehouses and Exchange Houses to mandate the issuance of deposit certificates exclusively in electronic form using cryptographic systems. It requires applicants for authorization to operate as general warehouses to submit a Cryptographic System Operation Manual and proof of service contracts with certified service providers. Additionally, it establishes specific technical requirements for these systems, including digital fingerprint verification and timestamping, and grants warehouses a nine-month period to adapt their operations to these new standards.

general provisions in order to provide in the administrative sphere the implementation

of various regulatory measures established in the General Law of Organizations and Auxiliary Activities of

Credit, including those applicable to the authorizations that correspond to the Ministry of

Treasury and Public Credit to constitute and operate as a general warehouse, as well as the

prudential norms that such auxiliary credit organizations must observe;

That on March 26, 2024, the "Decree reforming, adding and repealing various provisions of the General Law of Titles and Credit Operations and

strengthen legal certainty, increase transactionality and, consequently, improve

conditions for access to financing, mainly of the agricultural sector, through the digitization of

the deposit certificates issued by general warehouses;

That to achieve the above, the legislator determined that deposit certificates will only be

issued in electronic, optical or any other technology, through the cryptographic system(s) that the issuers of said credit titles determine;

That another of the regulatory measures established in the Reform Decree focuses on the elimination

of the pledge bond, and instead, the electronic deposit certificate must incorporate the data and

information related to pledge credits that, if any, are constituted on the goods or

merchandise covered by said credit title;

That, in the event of a plurality of cryptographic systems, the legislator determined that they

must be interconnected, in order to guarantee to legitimate holders, pledge creditors,

supervisory and judicial authorities and other participants in operations carried out under the

protection of electronic deposit certificates that the information of the titles is accessible;

That, taking into account the scope of the analyzed legal reform, general warehouses

must establish a cryptographic system that performs the necessary functionalities to guarantee the

issuance of deposit certificates and the security of operations related to said titles; and

That with the purpose of complying with the Second Transitory Article of the "Decree reforming, adding and repealing various provisions of the General Law of Titles and Credit Operations and

of the General Law of Organizations and Auxiliary Credit Activities", through this instrument,
