EMAB Recommendations

What happens when EMAB makes a recommendation?

In the years since its creation in 2001, EMAB has made 44 recommendations to Diavik, the regulators and the Parties to the Agreement. We get involved and make recommendations when regulators raise issues, or when regulators and Diavik disagree on an issue. We also make recommendations when the regulators or the mine are not addressing an issue we think is important. The Environmental Agreement says our recommendations are to be taken seriously and given full consideration. Regulators and Diavik must respond within 60 days. They must accept our recommendations or give us reasons why they didn't.

EMAB recommendations are normally communicated through letters.
