Obligatoriedad del recurso de reposición en servicios públicos domiciliarios
Los Recursos de reposicion y apelacion son instrumentos procesales para ejercer el derecho de defensa, contradiccion y doble instancia frente a las decisiones que toman las autoridades con funciones publicas. En el ambito general segun el articulo 76 del Codigo de Procedimiento Administrativo y de lo Contencioso Administrativo, el recurso de reposicion es facultativo, y el de apelacion puede interponerse de manera directa frente al superior jerarquico para que adicione, modifique o revoque el acto administrativo inicial; pero en el ambito especifico de los servicios publicos domiciliarios, en el articulo 159 de la Ley 142 de 1994, se establece que el recurso de apelacion solo puede interponerse de manera subsidiaria al de reposicion, es decir que la reposicion se convierte en un recurso obligatorio contrariando los postulados del C.P.A.C.A. Por ello, el objetivo del estudio investigativo precedente apunto a determinar si la obligatoriedad del recurso de reposicion se constituye en una garantia o en una carga negativa para el usuario de servicios publicos domiciliarios en Colombia. Como resultado de la investigacion se obtuvo que en materia de servicios publicos domiciliarios, el usuario debe interponer el recurso de reposicion de manera obligatoria y debe subsidiariamente interponer el de apelacion, en un termino de cinco dias habiles, convirtiendose esto en una carga negativa frente al usuario, pues en muchas ocasiones si interpone el recurso de apelacion de manera directa, es negado y no procede ningun recurso, perdiendo el usuario su oportunidad a reclamar.
Privatization in Colombia: A Plant Performance Analysis
This paper describes the privatization program carried out in the productive sector of the Colombian economy during the 1990s. It evaluates privatization within the policy context of general market deregulation and the promotion of private investment in the provision of public infrastructure and domiciliary public services. Two case studies are explored: the manufacturing and power sectors. The paper follows the ex-post measuring and econometric analysis of a set of operative and restructuring performance indicators for the privatized firms. For manufacturing, the study sample consists of 30 large manufacturing firms of which the Instituto de Fomento Industrial was the founding or supporting partner. The main findings suggest that those firms followed pro-cyclical behavior relative to their private competitors and undertook tight plant operative restructuring. For the power sector, the paper studies the impact of regulatory reform on market entry, ownership structure, market competition, and productive efficiency of the privatized holdings. The results suggest that privatization and entry competition in power generation have had a positive effect on the privatized utilities’ efficiency and investment. With respect to thermal generation, the measurement of productive efficiency follows a data envelope analysis technique based on a sample of 33 plants that account for 85% of the installed capacity. The sample units are plants that were active before the reform and new entrants that started business operations after the reform. The main outcome shows that efficiency scores have improved after the reform and that regulatory policy has had a positive effect on productive efficiency.
