AUTONOMOUS Bougainville Government President James Tanis and his delegation are in Port Moresby for the final Joint Supervisory Board meeting which will be held this week. The delegation which comprises ABG ministers and administration officials left for Port Moresby yesterday. Their trip to the final JSB meeting shows the ABGs commitment to pursue outstanding issues on autonomy implementation to the drawdown of powers and functions on priority subject matters. The Bougainville Executive Council on Tuesday approved the implementation of stage three of the revised indicative steps on the transfer of functions and powers relating to mining, oil and gas with regard to the review of the Bougainville Copper Agreement (BCA). President Tanis said the ABG would put a request to the National Government to start the process of the review adding that the ABG was ready to start negotiation of the BCA. What is now required to be done on the ground is to attend to the landowners reconciliation, election of the landowners executives, social, environmental, land and other outstanding issues be fast-tracked in preparation for the landowners participation in the review, said Mr Tanis.
