Rimba Supriatna, IGAP Trisnajaya

During the 3rd Mineral and Coal Mining Legal and Business Forum, in Bali, Friday (22/2), mining stakeholders confirmed that they appreciate the issuance of Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (Minister) Regulation No. 24 of 2012 on Amendment to Minister Regulation No. 28 of 2009 on the Management of Mineral and Coal Mining Activities (Regulation).

Nur Hardono, Head of Sub-Directorate Standardization and Mining Services Business at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, explained that he supports that the Regulation provides better description of the mining activities and promotes community involvement and development.  

“I hope that the Regulation will be effectively implemented, particularly by mining companies and mining service businesses,” stated Nur.

Meanwhile, during the same event, Yuliana Tjhai, Partner at Bahar & Partners, agreed that the Regulation has done a good job stipulating appropriate distinctions between local contractors, national contractors, and other contractors in mining activities.

Even though Yuliana appreciates that the Regulation requires mining companies to prioritize local and national contractors in their mining activities, she is concerned that this stipulation may obstruct foreign investment.
