pants is enclosed herewith
MOS(CI breie{ed the GOM on the current issue as fo{lows :
2. Four oi the Unions (INTUC, AITUC, BMS and HMS) have issued a notice tor going on
slrike irom '181h to 23th December, 2000 and conveyed their Charter of Demands. ln all it
contained 39 demands. Except tor items 22 to 29, the rest pertain to problems relalrng toemoluments, benefits, service conditions etc. ln a series of meeting held by Chairman
CIL and his officers these issues have been harmoriously and amicably resolved How-
ever, the issues f rom 22Io 29 rerate to items of national policy f or which the unlon ieaders
have requested to have an lnterface with the Government. On Ministry of Coal's iniliative,
PM has kindly agreed to constitute a GOM. Hon'ble FM Was kind enough to convene the
f irst meeting of the GOM today.
He also informed that some preliminary discussions were held in the Ministry of Coal withthe union ieaders the previous day. After prolonged consultations with them, certain draft
formulations on the contentious issues have been drawn up
3. Fin6npe Minister requosted Union leaders to offer their view Points'
4. Shri Shafique Khan, Joint General Secetary' AITUC
He assured that the entire coal demand of the country can be met by PSUs lf adequate
funds are available for new projects. Even the Coalfields in Bihar and Bengal can be turned
areound if adequate {unds are provided.
5. Slrri Jayant Poddar, HMS
He informed that all the coal companie. In Eastern Part of India, i.e. BCCL. ECL and ccLhave been losing right from the beginning of nationalization. No investmenVreorga nization

Government. The report of lClCl which has suggested closure of large number of mines is
not in the overall rnterest of coal industry as many mines in the list to be closed have a
reserve of b0-132 years. He also re-affirmed that the reduction of import duty will kill the
Indian coal industrY.

MOC will be approaching the Cabine for the approval of revival plan of ECL. Crosssubsidizatron is a{iecting the Profit Making Companies (PMCs) investment plans. Wjththe new duty structure and the present exchange rate, imported coal has become constlierin many of the prots. Coal companies are having around Rs. 6.000 crores of coal dueswhich need to be securitised.

. Workers interest will be protected.
. lmport duty is a very complex exercise due to confilicting interests of various sec-tors but the Govt. wiil ensure that the "Be5t" interest of the country are secured

The matter rs kept open for discussron
The Unionr were assured that the RevalidationBill in no way compromises the status of CIL asa holding company and should not be viewedas a prelude to weaken the ClL. Inter alra, it wasclarified thal CIL will maintain ownership nghtsand wrll have management control over subsidiary companres.
Govt will consider on merit any revival Package for reviving the loss making companreswhrch are po,tentially viable.
Not releva nt
Dulng the lasl 7 years, of the 26 biocks allot'ted. Only 3 have commissioned their minrng op-erations. From these 3 captive blocks the pro-duction is minuscule compared to 300 milliontonnes of production in the public sector. Mostof tne blocrs ,eserved for private mining are vi'gin fields, remote and not having rail-heads.Thus, given the inherent conditions, the overalldominating posjtion of CIL will continue to pre-vall.
Instead of enquiry and'post-mortem, advice willbe obtained {rom competent authorities to aidand advise on the revival package. Before anyfinal view is taken on this discussions will beheld with the Unions.
CMPF contribution has already been decided tobe increased from 1O to 12 per cent. Orderseffective f rom 1 .5.2000 are likely to be issuedwrthin the next two or three daYS.
