We show that the "topological BF-type" term introduced by Slavnov in order to
cure the infrared divergences of gauge theories in noncommutative space can be
characterized as the consequence of a new symmetry. This symmetry is a
supersymmetry, generated by vector charges, of the same type as the one
encountered in Chern-Simons or BF topological theories.Comment: 9 pages, LaTex. Work presented by O. Piguet at the Fifth
