WASHINGTON, DC \u2014 Se requerir\u00eda que los miembros del Senado y su personal se deshagan de cualquier tenencia de acciones individuales o las coloquen en un fideicomiso ciego seg\u00fan una enmienda esbozada por el Senador Jeff Merkley y el Senador Brown (D-OH) de Oreg\u00f3n. En una conferencia telef\u00f3nica el d\u00eda de hoy, los Senadores explicaron por qu\u00e9 el<\/em> Poniendo los intereses de las personas primero Ley de 2012<\/em> fortalecer\u00eda los esfuerzos, como la "Ley para detener el comercio en el conocimiento del Congreso de 2012" o la "Ley STOCK", destinadas a evitar que los miembros del Congreso utilicen informaci\u00f3n privilegiada para ganar dinero en el mercado de valores. Merkley and Brown ha ofrecido este proyecto de ley como una enmienda a la Ley STOCK, legislaci\u00f3n que se debate en el pleno del Senado esta semana.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cLa democracia estadounidense depende de que el p\u00fablico conf\u00ede en que sus representantes actuar\u00e1n en inter\u00e9s del p\u00fablico\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cDeber\u00edamos hacer todo lo que est\u00e9 a nuestro alcance para eliminar los conflictos de inter\u00e9s. Necesitamos una l\u00ednea clara que separe el inter\u00e9s personal y el inter\u00e9s p\u00fablico: los miembros no deber\u00edan tener acciones individuales que puedan verse afectadas por los votos que tomamos en el pleno del Senado\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

\u201cLos miembros de la C\u00e1mara y el Senado deben concentrarse en servir a sus electores, no a sus carteras de acciones. Si bien la Ley STOCK es un paso importante, podemos trazar una l\u00ednea a\u00fan m\u00e1s clara al evitar que los senadores voten sobre temas que afectan sus inversiones financieras\u201d, dijo Brown. \u201cLos miembros del Congreso no solo tienen el privilegio de servir, sino que tambi\u00e9n reciben una buena compensaci\u00f3n por ello. No hay raz\u00f3n por la que deban estar en el negocio de comprar o vender acciones que puedan verse influenciadas por sus acciones\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Si bien las Reglas de \u00c9tica del Senado exigen que los miembros del personal del comit\u00e9 ganen m\u00e1s de $25,000 por a\u00f1o para \u201cdesinvertirse de cualquier participaci\u00f3n sustancial que pueda verse directamente afectada por las acciones del comit\u00e9 para el que trabaja\u201d, la misma regla no se aplica a los miembros del comit\u00e9. Congreso. Las regulaciones federales y la ley penal federal tambi\u00e9n proh\u00edben que los empleados del poder ejecutivo, sus c\u00f3nyuges e hijos posean acciones en las empresas que regulan, pero la prohibici\u00f3n no se extiende a los miembros del Congreso que dictan leyes que afectan a las empresas que cotizan en bolsa. Merkley y Brown describieron c\u00f3mo el Poniendo los intereses de las personas primero Ley de 2012 <\/em>asegurar\u00eda que las mismas reglas de conflicto de inter\u00e9s financiero que se aplican al personal del comit\u00e9 del Senado y a los empleados del poder ejecutivo tambi\u00e9n se aplican a los miembros del Congreso. <\/p>\n

El Poniendo los intereses de las personas primero Ley de 2012<\/em> alinear\u00eda las reglas para los miembros del Senado con las que se aplican al personal del comit\u00e9 y los empleados del poder ejecutivo al:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Prohibir a los miembros del Senado y al personal poseer (y exigirles que se deshagan de) o vender al descubierto acciones individuales en empresas directamente afectadas por sus deberes oficiales; y<\/li>\n
  • Permitir que los senadores y el personal inviertan en fondos de base amplia o coloquen sus activos en fideicomisos ciegos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    En el discurso del Estado de la Uni\u00f3n del presidente Obama la semana pasada, el presidente Obama pidi\u00f3 la prohibici\u00f3n de la propiedad de acciones por parte de los miembros del Congreso que se requiere en el Poniendo los intereses de las personas primero Ley de 2012<\/em>.<\/p>\n
