Study of the approval of the initiative
The approval of the initiative, which was studied by a special commission, had the motivation and the favorable vote of different party benches, which agreed that it was necessary to provide the country with a legislation that complies with the requirements made by international organizations, which will allow the Dominican Republic to 
keep the category one in civil aviation.
In this sense, the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Alfredo Pacheco, before submitting the initiative to the consideration of the plenary, expressed the willingness of the deputies for the bill to be approved.
The president of the special commission that studied the initiative, Deputy Napoleon Lopez Rodriguez, while rendering the report, said that the International Civil Aviation Board urged the Dominican Republic to update in the area, because otherwise the country could lose category one, and not allow its aircraft to fly to U.S. territory.

To this end, the work of the Chamber of Deputies will continue on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
