MAGSASAGAWA ang interagency Mining Industry Coordinating Council (MICC) ng ikalawang bugso ng pagrepaso sa mining operations sa 2019.
Ayon sa Department of Finance (DOF), co-chairman ng MICC, sakop ng susunod na mining audit ang nalalabing 15 mining companies na bahagi ng 41 mines na naunang nirebyu ng Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) sa ilalim ni dating Secretary Regina Lopez noong 2016.
“MICC is eyeing to commission the same team of experts following their outputs on the review of the environmental, economic, social, legal and technical aspects of the first batch of 26 mining companies that Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III has described as ‘highly commendable’,” wika ng DOF.
Ang MICC meeting noong Disyembre 12 ay pinamunuan nina Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez at Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu.
Sa naturang pagpupulong ay ipinagpaliban ng MICC ang rekomendasyon na alisin ang moratorium sa bagong mineral agreements.
“Executive Order 79 imposed the moratorium until legislation rationalizing existing revenue sharing schemes and mechanisms shall have taken effect.”
Sa ilalim ng Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) law o ang Republic Act No. 10963 ay itinaas ang excise tax sa mineral products sa 4 percent mula sa 2 percent.
“DENR queried whether the increase would be considered as having satisfied the condition of a legislation rationalizing the existing revenue-sharing scheme,” sabi pa ng DOF.
