Uruguay
Pursuant to Article 6.2 of the TRIMs Agreement, the Permanent Delegation of Uruguay
notifies that trade-related investment measures are published in the Diario Oficial del Uruguay.
All national laws approved by Parliament, Decrees issued by the Executive branch and
Decrees of the Departmental Councils (the local government legislative bodies) are published in the
Diario Oficial.
It should also be mentioned that owing to  the division of powers between the National
Government and local Governments (Departments),  the latter do not have powers relating to
investment policy, although they do have powers relating to tax exemptions in connection with the
territorial and local taxes that they collect.
