Summary.
Cabinet Decree 75 of 1990 authorizes the establishment and payment of consular fees for services rendered. Its recitals invoke Article 430 of the Fiscal Code, which empowers the Executive, pending a special law, to set through the finance ministry the amount and payment of fees to consular officials, and the advisability of consuls maintaining dignified representation and generating revenue for the Nation. It establishes a schedule for all consulates of the Republic, with amounts for items such as the consul's attendance at acts requiring his presence or in cases of shipwreck, collision, stranding, average, forced call or labor dispute; the legalization of international or technical certificates of national vessels; the registration of maritime protests or statements by masters and officers; and statements taken from crew or passengers. It concerns shipowners and shipping agents.
