In an announcement made on Tuesday, 10 February 2015, the National Business Council (Conep) said that it would be active in the process of defining the National System of Land Use Organization launched by the Ministry of Economy, Planning and Development. Conep vice president Rafael Paz made the announcement during a meeting with Ministry representatives, including the deputy Minister of Planning Juan Thomas Monegro and the director general of Land Use Organization and Development, Franklin Labour.
This was the first meeting on the subject between the government and a business organization since the end of an international seminar “Creation of the National System of Land Use Organization” held in January 2015. During this event, the Economic Council for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC)’s Latin American and Caribbean Institute for Economic and Social Planning (ILPES) director Jorge Mattar and representatives from several countries described their experiences of this type of organization.
