The minister emphasized the importance of the National Government redefining the role of the country's main technical agencies, such as the National Administration of Drugs, Food and Medical Technology (ANMAT) and the National Service of Agri-Food Health and Quality (Senasa).
"From now on, ANMAT, through INAL, together with SENASA, will be directly responsible for control, without intermediaries or structures that only delayed processes. Digitization, traceability, and 15-day deadlines to solve procedures: clear and agile rules," he posted on the social network X.
