El Congreso de la República debe consultar y escuchar la opinión de las comunidades nativas y otras instituciones, generando un debate que considere esta posición en la elaboración de la nueva ley forestal, antes de proponer su promulgación.
Así lo consideró Hugo Che Piu, presidente de Derecho, Ambiente y Recursos Naturales, DAR y coordinador de ecosistemas, en entrevista con INFOREGION Tingo María, luego de pedir al Parlamento Nacional una amplia consulta a los pueblos indígenas antes de que pase al pleno.
Igual pedido ha hechoo un grupo de organizaciones Peruanas, la RAL incluido, en una carta al Gobierno pidiendo, entre otras temas sobre el cumplimiento del TLC, que
“El Gobierno Peruano debe hacer público un plan claro para el proceso de consulta de la nueva Ley Forestal y de Fauna Silvestre con la sociedad civil y en particular con las Comunidades Indígenas;”

Speaking with CNR radio, Congress woman León Minaya questioned the Minister’s decision which in practices opens the way for the business group to continue their deforesting of 3,000 hectars in order to plant palm oil.

Today, the Obama Administration announced that Peru will fail to meet the August 1st deadline to fully implement its obligations under the free trade agreement’s (FTA) Annex on Forest Sector Governance and will be in breach of the agreement. This is extremely troubling. House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Sander M. Levin commented:
“Meeting these obligations will require substantial work on the part of Peru and there are no shortcuts. For instance, Peru should not entertain “fast-tracking” the recently introduced Law on Forestry and Wildlife through its Congress.”

PRESENT STATE OF THE CASE
Brother Paul’s lawyers had put in an injunction and a Habeas Corpus when the Ministry issued their resolution limiting his permanence in the country. In her judgment the lady Judge, after a three day consideration, ordered the Ministry to “cease every act of intimidation, or obstacle in the way of his normal work and to guarantee his non-expulsion from the country, ensuring him freedom to cross the borders.” The Ministry of the Interior has now appealed against that order.
Their appeal will now be heard around the 9th of August here in the Maynas Court in Iquitos.
