PREPARATIONS for the review of the Bougainville Copper Agreement are now underway. But an announcement is expected to be made on the review package once the Joint Supervisory Body meeting dates are set. ABG President John Momis could not provide further details of the review of the BCA but advised the JSB, the main avenue of negotiations for the National Government and the ABG, should be held once the stakeholders involved set a date. Bougainville Affairs Minister Steven Pirika Kama also advised the date has not been set and once preparations are set, the responsible authorities involved will be advised. The delay of the JSB meeting since March this year is also the setback to the drawdown of all the powers being talked about as this is the body that deals with all issues on Bougainville and they have not sat since March this year. But according to the ABG leaders, much has been achieved since the last JSB meeting and more is expected once all preparations are in place.
