 from opposing political parties and the legal and financial community. In September 2014, the Argentine Congress enacted Law No. 26,991 which amends the Supply Law No. 20,680 ( Ley de Abastecimiento) that enables the Argentine government to intervene in certain markets when it considers that any party to such market is trying to impose prices or supply restrictions in such market.
