They have the support of the State and the accompaniment of the Minem, through the General Directorate of Mining Formalization, to successfully complete this process. The formalization is possible, but requires commitment and fulfillment of the requirements, he said.
The Minem head stressed that it is essential that the miners culminate with the presentation of their documentation and sign the corresponding exploitation contracts. He also recalled that they must comply with the Semiannual Production Declaration to maintain their condition in the Integral Mining Formalization Registry (Reinfo).
At this time we have almost 100 professionals reviewing the environmental management instruments that have been detained for months or even years, without having been evaluated or approved. That has already changed, Montero said.
The minister also clarified that the miners whose records have been excluded from the reinforce and that they consider that there are justified causes may submit a request for reconsideration before the General Directorate of Mining Formalization. They also have the right to file an appeal before the Mining Council. It is your right and the State must guarantee that they can exercise it, he said.
At another time, Montero made a call to the Congress of the Republic to continue the debate of the artisanal and small -scale mining law (MAPE Law) in the next legislature, in order to consolidate a legal framework that provides stability and legal certainty to the sector.
The mining formalization process not only orders the sector, it also represents a real opportunity to generate economic development, employment and a better quality of life for thousands of Peruvian families, he concluded.
