Lawmakers are now saying that the Government should issue a regulation to address the mineral export ban policy.
Bobby Rizaldi, member of Commission VII at the House of Representatives, is advocating this because the current regulatory framework under Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation No. 20 of 2013 on Added Value of Minerals through Processing and Refining Activities is still weak.
According to Bobby, the Regulation provides a number of reasons not to implement the mineral export ban policy. This is why, as Bobby says, a government regulation needs to be issued.
“The new government regulation must be in accordance with the Mining Law. Otherwise, we will file a petition for judicial review,” said Bobby.
Thamrin Sihite, Director General of Minerals and Coal at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), says that his institution will consider the House’s suggestion.
“We will discuss it later with the Coordinating Minister of Economic Affairs, as to whether the regulation will be a Ministerial Regulation or if it should be changed into a Government Regulation," said Thamrin.
Responding to the mineral export ban, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) emphasizes that it will not change the limits on mineral exports.
Susilo Siswoutomo, Deputy Minister of ESDM, says that the minimum limits for exported minerals under the Regulation is a compromise between the Government, businesses, and the mining association.
“There will be no revisions on the minimum levels of refined mineral exports,” stated Susilo.
Jero Wack, Minister of ESDM, explained that his ministry is making its best efforts to fully implement the Mining Law.
Jero explained that the entire implementation process is current at the 30 percent level. Further, Jero stated that companies that are not able to build their own smelters may send their mining products to those who have built a smelter.
“The mineral export ban policy will create some rumblings at first, for sure. But we believe that by committing to the Mining Law, industries will follow the changes immediately” Said Jero.
