Enviro Ministry Clarifies Quarry Damage Orders
Clarification from the Ministry of Environment Regarding the Quarry and Crusher Sector Damage File The Ministry of Environment clarified that the amount of rights owed to the state from the quarry and crusher sector, resulting from land exploitation and environmental and health damage, exceeds three billion dollars. Since the appointment of Minister Tamara Al-Zein, the ministry has begun legal procedures to collect these dues, after correcting the surveyed areas of the extracted quantities through field surveys and in accordance with an official calculation mechanism approved by the Council of Ministers. To date, the ministry has sent 519 collection orders totaling over one billion three hundred million dollars to the Ministry of Finance. No amounts have been canceled or reduced, despite protests from some taxpayers, which are currently being referred to the judiciary. The ministry emphasizes that the amounts have not been reduced, that collection is ongoing, and that the file is now being handled through the courts, with continued efforts to defend the state's rights.
