The Industry Committee of the House of Representatives will discuss, during its meeting on Sunday, a draft law submitted by the government to amend some provisions of the Mineral Wealth Law No. 198 of 2014.

The draft law, which is licensed to carry out research and exploitation in mines and quarries, when it finds traces or excavations, has been suspended and the immediate report of the body or the competent authority.

Article 27 of the draft law stipulates that the license shall include the licensee's compliance with the provisions of the Environment Law, its executive regulations, the law of nature reserves and the decisions issued in implementation of its provisions.

The license shall also include the licensee's obligation in case of discovery of rare effects, excavations or geological phenomena by stopping the work and immediately reporting to the Authority or the competent authority, as the case may be, to take its affairs.

The executive regulation of this law regulates the procedures to be followed in these cases and the implications thereof. The law defines the competent authority as the administrative authority concerned with the management and management of the quarries and navigators under the technical supervision of the Authority, namely the governorate for the quarries and navigators that fall within its jurisdiction, New Urban Communities.
