Decree 810/2025 Installs Provisional Leadership to Launch Argentina’s Competition Authority

The move lets the new regulator begin work pending Senate confirmation.

Overview

  • Decree 810/2025, published in the Boletín Oficial, formalizes appointments to the Autoridad Nacional de la Competencia.
  • Eduardo Rodolfo Montamat is named president of the Tribunal de Defensa de la Competencia, with Lucas Gabriel Trevisani Vespa and Marcelo Rubén D’Amore as vocales.
  • Ana Julia Parente becomes secretary for anticompetitive conduct cases, and Germán Augusto Zamorano is appointed secretary for economic concentrations.
  • Under Article 23 of Law 27.442, the designación en comisión mechanism allows these juried appointees to assume duties immediately while the Senate reviews their nominations.
  • The appointments legally constitute the ANC as a decentralized, autarchic enforcer empowered to review mergers and investigate potential abuses, completing the transition from the CNDC after a months-long public selection and anticorruption vetting process.
