The Salvadoran Government has recently launched a program called “El Salvador Eficiente” (Efficient El Salvador) which main objective is to simplify requirements, procedures and times for the execution, development and closing of the mercantile businesses carried out in our country. As a result of the implementation of said program, several amendments to the Salvadoran Code of Commerce had to be made. Such amendments were approved by virtue of the Legislative Decree No. 641, dated June 12th, 2008, published in the Official Gazette dated June 27th, 2008; being in force since July 6th, 2008.

The new rules have come to modify legal aspects mainly related to:

- Incorporation and operation of businessmen and Companies.
- Formal obligations of businessmen and Companies.
- Dissolution and liquidation of Companies.

The seminar "The Regulations of the Central American Integration System (‘SICA’), the Prejudicial Process and the Communitary Law" was held February 21st and 22nd in San Salvador. The event was a gathering of the Magistrates of the Central American Court of Justice and attorneys representing highly recognized law firms in Central America.

Romero Pineda & Asociados led the organization of this seminar to provide attendees an update about international law in response to the growing trends of legal globalization. The event took place in the midst of negotiations between the regional entities and the European Union towards an Association Agreement. The European Union supported the event through the Support Program for Central American Regional Integration ("PAIRCA").�
