The Council of Ministers today decided to restructure and strengthen the Mines Service of the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment, as well as to rename it the "Mines and Quarries Service".
According to an announcement by the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment, presenting the proposal to the Council of Ministers, the Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment, Costas Kadis, pointed out that the strategic objective of the Service is to ensure the sustainable management of mineral resources and to maintain the country's self-sufficiency in available (licensed) reserves to meet its needs in the long term.
"A key pillar for ensuring the sustainability of mineral resources," he stressed, "is the implementation of the circular economy model in the mining and quarrying industry."
