新西兰的采矿法案推动了改革,但需要最后确定政策和灵活规则,以避免项目拖延,支持可持续发展。
New Zealand’s mining bills advance reform but need finalized policies and flexible rules to avoid project delays and support sustainable development.
据矿产委员会首席执行官Josie Vidal说,新西兰提议的规划和自然环境法案标志着进展,但未能在颁布前完成国家政策和环境标准。
New Zealand's proposed Planning and Natural Environment Bills mark progress but fall short without finalized national policies and environmental standards before enactment, according to Minerals Council CEO Josie Vidal.
她强调,采矿需要灵活、逐案评估,而不是僵硬、一刀切的规则,并警告规定区划可能会阻碍未来的发现。
She stresses mining requires flexible, case-by-case evaluation, not rigid, one-size-fits-all rules, and warns prescriptive zoning could block future discoveries.
理事会支持基于科学的适应性环境管理、减缓和抵消固定限额,敦促精简,以提高投资者的信心,并呼吁加强保障措施,防止毫无意义的法律挑战,以避免拖延。
The council supports science-based, adaptive environmental management, mitigation, and offsetting over fixed limits, urges streamlining to boost investor confidence, and calls for stronger safeguards against frivolous legal challenges to avoid delays.
