Luanda - The Council of Ministers on Monday approved the creation of the National Demining Centre, an entity that results from the merger of several organisms focused on this activity.
In the scope of the ongoing reforms, the single demining entity merges the National Demining Institute, the Executive Commission for Demining, the demining brigades of the Angolan Armed Forces (FAA) and the Military House of the President of the Republic.
The creation of the said National Demining Centre aims to ensure greater rationality and efficiency of the demining activity and the materialisation of the principle of rationalisation and administrative simplification in the sector.
In this 7th Ordinary Session of the Council of Ministers, which was guided by the President of the Republic, João Lourenço, the Remuneratory Statute of the National Civil Aviation Authority (ANAC) was also approved.
The document defines the guiding principles of remuneration, in addition to establishing the indicative table of basic salary, allowances and other benefits applicable to members of the ANAC Board of Directors.
Also in the Transport area, the Council of Ministers approved a Presidential Decree that regulates, in the public domain, the lands of the coastline, in areas of jurisdiction of the maritime-port authorities, with the purpose of restoring the normal processing of the use of these spaces for the exercise of profitable economic activities in market conditions, observing competition and transparency.
Another document approved by the Council of Ministers was the National Road Statute, a technical-legal instrument that establishes the norms of use and protection of national roads and their surroundings, the adequate conditions for their management, exploration, maintenance and conservation.
The said instrument establishes a regime of applicable sanctions, in order to ensure the durability of the roads and the need for future development.
