| On 2009, Government of Indonesia has enacted new mining law No. 4 Year 2009 . The Indonesian New Mining Law is the revision of the previous law which was considered not longer suitable with the mandate of Article 33 (3) of Indonesian Constitution. The New Indonesian Mining Law, ends the contract of works regime in mining activities in Indonesia. The New Indonesian Mining Law give stronger position for Government of Indonesia in mining activities toward Permits regime as the replacement of contract of works regime to permit. However, in establish mining activities in Indonesia required many related permits such as, environmental permit and land use permit, besides mining permit itself. In the practice, some mining activities has obtain permit from mining official but they cannot proceed their activiti because, other governmental official did not grant the related permit. Moreover, regional autonomy as regulated by Law No. 32 Year 2004 has also raised potential conflict relating to the establishment of mining ativities in Indonesia, especially in dealing with regional ego to increase their income. Therefore, the permits system which relating to mining activities need to be examine to understand the legal issues. |
