Press Release
Congolese and international non-governmental organisations today welcomed the publication of the review of mining contracts by the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and called on the government to ensure that the renegotiation of contracts is conducted openly and fairly.
The NGOs expressed concern about the lack of clarity surrounding the critical next stage – the process of renegotiating contracts with companies. Many companies are already engaged in negotiations, even before the process has officially got off the ground. In at least one case, CAMEC, negotiations are said to have already been satisfactorily concluded.
