The Mining Law has been deliberated many times in the Economic Committee of the Legislative Yuan, but the key provisions, including "the extension of mining rights shall be subject to the consent of the land use administration authority", "the establishment of mining rights shall be subject to the consent of the regulatory authority in environmentally sensitive areas", "Environmental impact assessment shall be limited to proposing an alternative plan", "the right of consent", all were opposed by the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Many progressive provisions have not been included in the "Executive Yuan version A", which is most likely to be passed in the future vote.

Ring delegations and legislators have called on the "Ministry of economy to escort and amend the hegemonic Mining Law." the mining reform is only the last mile away, asking the Ministry of Economic Affairs to stop escorting consortia, accept the progressive provisions, and implement the real reform of the mining industry that 210000 people have even signed up for.

Legislator: Ministry of Economic Affairs escort consortium

On the first anniversary of director Zeppelin's death, Li Genzheng pointed out that at Zeppelin's farewell ceremony, President Tsai ing-wen declared that he would complete the mining reform, "but the current version of the Executive Yuan of the Mining Law is a discount to the mining reform." Call on the Ministry of Economic Affairs to stop escorting operators and truly implement mining reform.

Legislator Chou Chen Hsiu-Hsia also questioned that "the Ministry of Economic Affairs seems to have been escorting the consortium." the more than 200 mines across the country have a bearing on the safety and rights and interests of the surrounding people, as well as the destruction of land and forests, but the Ministry of Economic Affairs has always adhered to its own views. It is hoped that the Ministry of Economic Affairs will consider the interests of the country and the rights and interests of the people, and will not continue to protect consortia and destroy mountains and forests. "of course, we cannot do without mining, but for the sake of the country and the people, the mining law must be well amended."

In July last year, the Ministry of Economic Affairs announced the revised version of the Mining Law, which was generally regarded as "less than satisfactory, but acceptable." However, the version of the Executive Yuan proposed after it was sent to the political Yuan is a "retrogression." With regard to the possible passage of such a "reverse" version, legislator Gao Zhipeng said that he would try his best to bring about an agreement. "if it really doesn't work, it will be passed in full accordance with the version of legislator Chen Mingwen, because this is the bulletin board of the Ministry of Economic Affairs in July last year." It is stressed that specific recommendations will be adopted at least in accordance with Chen Mingwen's version, rather than multiple cases, and the interim meeting on June 11 must include the mining law and push for the adoption of the mining law by the end of this year.

The Mining Law was amended for two years, and the Ministry of Economic Affairs was criticized by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, which only worried about the interests of miners, regardless of human life and ecology.
