The purpose of this article is to highlight the importance of the Proportionality Principle as a valid legal criterion to determine when a given industry must be ex ante regulated by the Government through a specific sectorial regulatory framework or whether the application of the general antitrust and competition laws to such industry must be considered as a valid alternative. To this ends, this article analyzes the case of the Argentinean Law of Audiovisual Communications Services as it was treated by the Supreme Court of Argentina in the Grupo Clarín case. ; En este trabajo se pretende señalar la importancia del principio de proporcionalidad como un criterio jurídico válido para determinar cuándo una determinada industria debe ser regulada de modo sectorial y ex ante o cuando resulta preferible hacerlo mediante modalidades menos intrusivas como, por ejemplo, el régimen de defensa de la competencia.

Administrative silence, also known as formal inactivity of the administration, is an important topic in the field of comparative administrative law and has gained recognition in many legal systems around the world. It is seen as a necessary tool for the protection of individual rights and, in many jurisdictions, it is considered a constitutional guarantee that citizens have against the powers of administrative authorities. Many international human rights treaties impose a duty on these authorities to respond to citizens' petitions. However, when there is a failure in this duty by an administrative authority, there is a requirement to determine how this has happened and the consequences of this failure. This book provides an overview of the concept of administrative silence, its importance in protecting individual rights, and explores how it is recognised and applied within 21 jurisdictions around the word. It is a useful reference for anyone interested in the subject and it aims to improve knowledge on the topic and gives it the attention that it deserves within the framework of comparative administrative law.
