Régimen Legal de Acceso a la Información Pública de Entre Ríos

Response Timeline

15 business days from receipt of request (Art. deadline per published regulation). A single extension of 15 additional business days is permitted with written justification communicated before the initial deadline expires. If the OAIP upholds a complaint against an agency, that agency has 15 business days to deliver the information after receiving the OAIP summons. Replaced Decree 1169/2005 which covered only the executive branch.

Exemptions

• Classified or reserved information under specific legislation
• Financial system data protected under banking secrecy law
• Trade secrets and commercial information causing competitive harm
• Active investigation materials where disclosure would obstruct proceedings
• Personal data where anonymization is technically impossible
• Information subject to professional secrecy (medical, legal, etc.)

Exemptions explicitly do not apply to grave human rights violations, genocide, war crimes, or crimes against humanity — these must be disclosed regardless. All exemptions must be applied narrowly and the public interest override must be weighed before denial.

Appeal Process

Law 11.191 created the Oficina de Acceso a la Información Pública (OAIP) within the executive branch, directed by a competitively-selected official with a 5-year term renewable once. OAIP decisions that favor the requester are binding on agencies.
