Jakarta, Aktual.com – Mining Network (JATAM) was disappointed with the policies of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Archandra Tahar which approved the concentrate Freeport renew an export license until January 11, 2017. The policy was assessed not only to avoid overlapping violations of the rules and the laws, but as a form of portraiture apparent how a State policy could be negotiated by the corporation.
JATAM Campaign Director, Ki Bagus Hadi Kusuma argued that the provisions of Law No. 4 of 2009 Article 170 states the holder of the Contract of Work (COW), which has production must purification in the State no later than five years since its creation (2014). meaning after 2014 are not allowed to export crude product (concentrate).
But the government issued an export license policy on the basis of Government Regulation (PP) No. 1 of 2014 and the Regulation of the Minister (Candy) EMR No. 11 in 2014 as opposed to Law No. 4 of 2009. Nevertheless, in the realization of government-was also in violation of The candies.
“Regulation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources 11 2014, article 13 says the extension granted if the development Smelter exports reached 60 percent. In fact, until April 2016, the progress of the construction of a smelter in Gresik Freeport is only 30 percent, but an extension of the export license granted Freeport remain up to five times. This is the real portrait of how a State policy could be negotiated by the corporation, “Hadi said in Jakarta, Friday (12/8)
Not only that, shortly before the end of the third extension of the export license (January 25, 2016), the government said it would not extend an export license before the company paid a guarantee fund construction of the smelter of USD 530 million. However, this provision could re-negotiated by Freeport. Without paying a dime a guarantee fund smelter, Freeport finally get an extension of the export license.
“The grounds are saving the State Revenue, Government always gives comfort to Freeport to continue to dredge gold in Papua. In 2014, Freeport paying the tax and royalties amounted to Rp 5.6 trillion. In the same year, the State Revenue in the state budget of Rp 1667.1 trillion. That is, the amount of taxes and royalties are deposited Freeport not to 0.4 percent of national income,” said Hadi.
