Crimea is ordered to close loopholes for Ukrainian plunderers of the peninsula's subsoil
Amendments have been made to the Crimean law “On Subsoil”, according to which foreign users are deprived of the right to extract subsoil.
Previously, in Crimea, licenses issued back in Ukraine for the use of subsoil continued to be valid by default, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
It should be noted that this is not the initiative of Crimean parliamentarians. The ban was introduced at the federal level, since changes were made to the law “On Subsoil” to allow only domestic enterprises to mine mineral resources.
“In this regard, subsoil users who are foreign legal entities, as well as subsoil users who are foreign citizens, lose the right to use subsoil. It is proposed to make corresponding changes to our republican Law “On Subsoil,” explained the speaker of the State Council of Crimea, Vladimir Konstantinov.
In Crimea, organizations and entrepreneurs continued to use subsoil resources on the basis of licenses issued by government agencies of Ukraine until their expiration. This is mainly the extraction of sawn limestone, as the main building material, sand and groundwater. Also in Crimea, there were more than 30 business entities using deposits of medicinal mud, brine and mineral waters. How many of them have been re-registered in the Russian legal field is not known, since in addition to Lake Saki - the main source of medicinal mud, it is mined in the salt lakes of the Black Sea and Leninsky regions.
