LEGISLATION  \nThe Mining Code  \n-VIII   \nMaria Luísa Abrantes  \nPreface  \nIn order to meet a noticeable lack of publications, in English, highlighting Angola’s most important economic legislative measures, Maria Luísa Abrantes has compiled works on recent Economic Legislation in that language, for the first time in the history of Angola, since 2005.  \nMaria Luísa Abrantes is the President of ANIP – Angola National Private Investment Agency, as well as having been its co-founder. She has held other key executive post in the Angolan Government and in private companies. In addition, from 1985 to 1994, she lectured on both Economic and Mining Law at Agostinho Neto University’s Law and Economics Faculties, in Luanda.  \nShe already has various published works, among which, comparative studies on Angolan economic and mining legislation, for the exclusive use of students atthe above university. This eighth volume consists of a collection of the most important economic legislation, introduced to regulate activities in Angola’s private sector. This has been put in place by its government, within the scope of an economic-reform program, and it’s aimed at encouraging and attracting private investment.  \nEconomic Legislation – The Mining Code Date: November 2012  \nCompiled and Organized by: Maria Luísa Abrantes  \nTranslated by: Lynn de Albuquerque  \nCopyright: ANIP  \nA Brief Presentation  \nThe Angolan National Agency for Private Investment (ANIP) is a “one-stop government agency”, which was set up to provide every type of free institutional support to potential investors wishing to invest in Angola. National and foreign investors are both offered similar opportunities in respect of the country’s policy on incentives related to taxation and custom duties, on an equal footing.  \nTo that end, potential investors have their disposal a series of legal instruments, specially, laws and decrees, published in the Diário da República (government gazette) .  \nFor a better understanding of private investment legislation by foreign investors, and there by turning into a vehicle for progress, its translation, initially into English, and the compilation contained in this eighth volume, have become imperative.  \nMaria Luísa Abrantes President of ANIP  \nLaw Nº 31/11  \nof September 23, 2011  \nThe subsoil of Angola possesses abundant and varied mineral resources. The mining and rational utilization of those resources constitute an important means toward achieving sustained economic growth and development, thereby contributing to the well-being and happiness of today’s and future generations.  \nFor reasons bound to both our economic and social history, and to the reality of our legal system, any geological and mining activity that does not involve oil and gas has been regulated by a series of separate pieces of legislation. Spread out over various laws, decrees and other legislative acts , they were mainly approved within an economic and social context differing from that of today.  \nThe current economic and social reality is characterized by market dynamics and an economic growth that increasingly calls for private investment in mining to be made in the non-oil/gas sector.  \nIn light of that, it has now become imperative to create a modern and wide-ranging regulatory system that embraces a series of legal rules and principles on mining within the same law , which will go along way to making it easier to manage, understand and comply with the regulations enshrined therein.  \nOn the other hand, the increase in competitiveness in the mining sector, not only in relation to the southern area of the continent but also internationally, calls for clarity in mechanisms that provide access to and exercise of mining rights , along with the establishment of adequate regimes for the protection of mineral mining rights and their regulation. At the same time , the public interest inherent in the proprietary nature of natural resources on the part of the State must","cbCaig0KbcjXWTkw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaig0KbcjXWTkw","pdf",1153807,146,"English","# Preface\n# A Brief Presentation\n# Law Nº 31/11 of September 23, 2011\n## Law Approving the Mining Code\n## Article 1 - Approval of Mining Code\n## Article 2 - Application\n## Article 3 - Environmental Preservation\n## Article 4 - Regulation\n## Article 5 - Repeal","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of Angola’s Mining Code in Law Nº 31/11?\",\"answer\":\"The Mining Code creates a modern, wide-ranging regulatory system for mining activities in Angola’s non-oil/gas sector, facilitating management, understanding, and compliance, and encouraging private investment.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the law address environmental preservation in mining?\",\"answer\":\"The provisions apply to protecting and conserving flora and fauna, without prejudice to more beneficial conservation regulations, including those for national parks and nature reserve areas.\"},{\"question\":\"Which legislation is repealed by the Mining Code?\",\"answer\":\"All legislation contradicting the Mining Code is repealed, including earlier laws and decrees addressing geological and mining activities, diamond law, reserved zones for diamond mining, customs regime for the mining sector, and tax regulations for the mining industry.\"}]","Economic Legislation - The Mining Code - Law Nº 31/11 - September 23, 2011 | PDF",51]
