The Executive Council announced yesterday that the government has drafted a bill which – if approved by lawmakers – would enable Macau to implement the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS), which then would allow Macau to import rough diamonds.
Leong Heng Teng, spokesman for the government’s top advisory body, made the announcement during a press conference at Government Headquarters yesterday.
The bill will be submitted in due course to the Legislative Assembly (AL) for debate and vote.
