MECA, the expert said, is eyeing a roughly two-year timeframe for the roll out of the new environmental regulatory framework. We are looking at end-2017 and early 2018 for the first phases (of the framework), while amendments and additional legislation will take another year thereafter, he said. Our goal is to build a sustainable mining and extractive industries segment in Oman not one that is reactive and impeded by overly burdensome regulation but supported and encouraged by regulation.

Perhaps the Omani Ministry of Environment and Climate Affairs (MECA) is the hold up here???
