The deadline for regulating the rule expired last week and the Ministry of Environment has not yet determined the priority areas for the inventory of glaciers, which are currently being developed ventures extractive industries and infrastructure to be audited.
Environmentalists said today that the standard should be regulated and the list of priority areas for the inventory of glaciers and periglacial environment should have been defined in order to review the environmental impact of existing enterprises through appropriate audits. This would achieve several ventures including Veladero and Pascua Lama, in the province of San Juan.
NGOs claimed that "it is delaying the review of the works and activities that are underway and may be affecting glaciers and periglacial areas to be inventoried during the summer. If inventory is not performed during the summer there is a risk of having to delay it another year. "
