Cléver Jimenez, Assemblyman for the province of Zamora Chinchipe, states that the current mining law, evade responsibility State in terms of policies and measures to prevent the impending environmental impacts, leading to more than implicit punishment, the obligation of the mining company to restore ecosystems and compensate individuals and communities affected by the operation mining.
Assemblyman referred to the four elements of the proposal to reform the Mining Law. Complying with the provisions of the Article 316 of the Constitution, removed the assignment of mining concessions, and is replaced by the "delegation of the mining area" to avoid the business being done with our natural resources. The
proposal suggests the creation of a guarantee of 10 percent of proven mineral reserves, which should give mining companies the Ecuadorian State, in order to ensure the care of the environment.
"The holders of mining rights, prior to the initiation of mining activities, smelting and refining of minerals, will yield financial guarantee sufficient to cover the costs of recovery and preservation of the environment and its natural components" said
An additional point and most important, said Jimenez is to avoid what happened in the oil industry, since in their forties operation in practice has meant the enrichment of a few "live" at the expense of the impoverishment of millions of Ecuadorians.
states that economic resources, mining products, are used exclusively for education, health, agriculture and livestock production, industry, micro enterprises and roads, the aim is that the financial resources, product the exploitation of our minerals, generate new ways of life for all and all Ecuadorians and thus achieve true development.
