Signals from MinAmb "have gone in the opposite direction of fostering a harmonious and sustainable development of the mining sector!

Venezuela's Mining Chamber (Camiven) has ruled in favor of establishing a National Mining Plan which allows "authorities to recognize the acquired rights of investors and to allow development projects to proceed smoothly and efficiently."

Camiven president Gilberto Sanchez Albornoz told El Universal that he perceives that "as regards the mining sector, there is an absence of government policy to enable authorities to act in a coordinated manner." He notes that "initiatives and declarations by environmental and mining authorities are made without a minimum of consultation."

In the El Universal interview published today, he says that signals given by the Minister for Environment "have gone in the opposite direction of fostering a harmonious and sustainable development of the mining sector and, even more, comes up with rules to prevent development projects that have met all legal mining and environmental requirements formulated in accordance with the land use regulations in force.

Sanchez Albornoz says "the differences between companies and workers must be resolved by competent bodies ... the government's complacent attitude has created a perverse incentive for agitators seeking government intervention in private enterprise."

"It is good time to facilitate the commencement of new business operations so that they can obtain benefits that will enable them to generate social and economic benefits for the community ... employment must be the government's priority, especially in areas where there is critical poverty."
