Santo Domingo.- Dominican Republic Industries Association (AIRD) president Ligia Bonetti on Thursday hailed president Danilo Medina’s pledge to "pick up the pace" to expand exports.
She noted however that to hasten this process, the nation has to be competitive, with taxes similar to those in other countries and facilitate exports "unhindered" by what she says Dominican law imposes on the industrial sector. "That’s exactly what we’re trying to get the tax reform to provide. I think it's great: the President creates competitive conditions and entrepreneurs charge their batteries and export."
The industrial mogul said one of her sector’s most recurrent proposals is to make it easy for companies to access funding that could be considered competitive with partners in Central America and the Caribbean.
"There are many barriers when exporting, such as that 1% of the assets are presumed minimum income; you are taxing a productive process without you necessarily having income, the collection of the ITBIS in Customs, we want to preserve that, but not only in Customs, but in the Internal Taxes, etc.," the entrepreneur said.
Bonetti cited other aspects which in her view make the productive sectors less competitive, including ”limited access" to finance, the "very expensive" electricity, for which all parties "must sit" to discuss an energy pact to resolve the problem once and for all.

All this is fine and good however until the corrupt sytem that charges under the table for any services to import or export is cleaned up then this is all Dominican Salami.
Yes this means you really cleaning up across the board including your Aduana otherwise the system will steifel enterpreneurs and only allow the large corporations that have political influence to expand.

Josean has no moral anymore to be trash talking the PLD because the man that he support as politician (Guillermo) is not a saint either since his wife Aura Celeste is currently an employee of this administration and so was he before resigning to become more involve into politics. Aura create it a big issue in the government agency that she was assign to because she is a very closed friend of Leonel Fernandez, but Josean doesn't ask her to resign from her post.

Aura Celestial: "I will not soil my name, Guillermo’s and or my families"
“It more than redundant to say that I support any reform that is focused on equity and transparency in the system of pensions and retirement in the Dominican State"

She clarified that currently she DOES NOT receive any salary from the Dominican State. Dr. Fernández is part of the Bioethics Commission, but exercises their work in an honorary capacity, WITHOUT CHARGING ANY SALARY OR ANY OTHER ECONOMIC BENEFIT.
She argued that MONEY DOES NOT BUY HER CONSCIENCE or WILL MAKE HER THROW HER PRINCIPLES OVERBOARD.
"I state that at this point in my life I will not soil my name, Guillermo’s and or my families;"
Neither would I disappoint the trust of so many people ( josean included) that have believed in my honesty. "Money does not buy my conscience, nor has it made me nor will it make me to throw overboard the principles which I have sought to respect all my life," she explained.

As surely know, last week, the national press made a report on the former judges of the JCE that they are receiving monthly pensions and at the same time they are receiving wages corresponding to their positions, as the judges of the higher courts.
With regard to the topic, my name has come to light on social networks, resulting in the misinformation of many people.
(bernies from the Swamps of Florida and the PLD in particular)
That is why I make them the following clarifications:
There is a regulation that governs pension and Retirement Plan dates back to the year 2000 in the JCE. The judges, according to that regulation, are entitled to a pension when finish their terms in the institution.

I worked for two terms as judge of the JCE and in virtue of the fact that, the current management of that institution, in strict adherence to the rules of the pensions and Retirement Plan decided, by resolution of the entire body, give me the corresponding pension, equivalent to 70% of the last salary received.
Since the regulation became effective in the year 2001, all outgoing judges since then, are given their pensions. In the same way there is a regulation in the Supreme Court of Justice and all the judges that came out recently were pensioners under the given regulation.

I should clarify:
(Says josean especially to bernies who believes every lie the PLD puts out)
The pension I receive was not given to me as gift by anyone at my request, or deals that I made. Nor did I participate in the elaboration and adoption of the regulation that created the Plan of Pensions and Retirement, nor was I a judge of the JCE, at the time the pension was approved. In addition,
I also want to clarify that since the time that I left the JCE I do not receive any salary from the State for the performance of ANY function. Additionally, even though for the allocation of the pension of which I am currently entitled, the law requires no more than one period of assignment as judge, I would like to tell you that I have worked for more than 20 years in various institutions of the State.
It goes without saying that I support any reform that is focused on equity and transparency into the scheme of pensions and retirement in the Dominican State.
