Summary

The draft Law on the Earth's Crust (213 SE) harmonizes the terminology related to the earth's crust and organizes legal regulations. In order to regulate the field as a whole and to avoid duplication, the provisions of the Mining Act, which until now regulated the technical requirements and safety of mining, have been consolidated in the bill. The bill abandons the classification of deposits into deposits of local and national importance. Regardless of the activity in one or another deposit, research and the procedure for issuing a mining permit is the same. Abandoning the distribution of deposits means that in the future the ownership of mineral resources such as sand, gravel, healing lake and sea mud, peat and Quaternary clay will depend on who owns the land. The system of dividing the resource fee between local governments and the state budget will be changed. As a whole, the receipt of the total resource fee for local governments is maintained. If the change does have an effect revenue base of a specific local government, it is taken into account through the equalization fund. The change in the classification of deposits will result in the Environmental Board issuing all exploration and mining permits in the future. It also simplifies keeping records of mineral resources data in the environmental register
