As recalled, the Minem presented, last November, the bill for small artisanal mining and mining, known as MAPE Law, which, after being referred to the Energy and Mines Commission of the Congress of the Republic, was socialized with entities of the mining subsector in order to collect contributions and adapt it to the realities of the miners.
The MINEM DGFM has presented 16 observations to the initial proposal in aspects related to concessions, traceability, marketing, promotional measures among other issues, for which it has summoned various institutions to this discussion cycle in order to build a new regulatory proposal in a participatory manner.
Additionally, meetings have been held within the framework of this consultation initiative with representatives of the National Mining and Petroleum Society (SNMPE), as well as civil society organizations; and it is planned to hold meetings with other institutions involved in the approach of small -scale mining activity.
The scopes developed in the meetings will allow to prepare a final report adjusted to the various realities nationwide, and that has the views of all the institutions involved, to present it to the Legislative Power as a contribution to the construction of a new MAPE Law.
