Africa-Press – Angola. The Plenary of the National Assembly (AN) will proceed, on the 25th of this month, to the final global vote on the Proposed Law on Combating Illegal Mining Activity, which this Friday passed through the specific committees.
The information was provided to the press by the first secretary of the National Assembly, Manuel Dembo, at the end of the Conference of Presidents of Parliamentary Groups, which aimed to prepare the plenary session.
The diploma intends to introduce a specific legal regime to combat illegal mining activity that establishes penalties appropriate to the severity of the typified conduct and its results, as well as defining rapid procedures for the loss and appropriation in favor of the State of the instruments and proceeds of crime.
It seeks to discourage and criminalize conduct that derives from the illicit exploitation of mineral resources that generates harmful impacts on the environment, human life, public health, the subsistence of communities, the economy and consequent development.
The document has a preambular part and a dispositive part, systematized into four chapters, two sections and 22 articles.
