Answer to question 2019/20: 602 by Lars Hjälmered (M)
Decision on mining in Kallak and Laver
Lars Hjälmered has asked me if I can explain why a decision in the case of Kallak has been delayed and for when the government will decide on possible mining in Kallak and Laver.
As I previously reported, the case concerning the applied processing concession for the area Kallak K no. 1 in Jokkmokk municipality contains extensive documentation with several complex legal issues, for example, balances according to the Environmental Code between several different national interests. This obviously affects the processing time.
However, the starting point for the government's handling is always that it should be done quickly, efficiently and without compromising legal certainty. The government determines the cases when they are sufficiently prepared so that decisions can be made.
