THE MINERAL SECURITY OF POLAND – BARRIERS IN MEETING THE STATE’S NEEDS FOR NON-ENERGY MINERALS
Journal Title: Biuletyn Państwowego Instytutu Geologicznego - Year 2012, Vol 452, Issue 452
Abstract
Meeting the aims of the state’s mineral security policy may be rendered difficult, or even impossible, by a number of factors. This paper identifies these limitations, such as the uneven occurrence of mineral deposits, economical barriers (feasibility of exploitation) and barriers in spatial planning. Overcoming or minimization the consequences of such barriers may be achieved by adopting an adequate mineral resource policy as well as using relevant legal instruments and an appropriately designed tax system. Adopting a rational policy in spatial planning, which allows accessing as yet undeveloped mineral deposits, is of particular importance.
