摘要

Colombia's new mining code, drafted to improve safety at coal mines in the country's interior departments, should be completed by the end of this year."Before the end of the year, all the decrees that have to do with mining restructuring and additional decrees, certain measures that are complementary to the restructuring should be ready," the Minister of Mines and Energy Carlos Rodado said. "We're finishing the socialization that has to be done with the mining industry. The bill to reform the mining code must pass through consultations and then Congress. I'm very hopeful that the bill will be approved before the end of the year."
