Members of the World Diamond Council (World Diamond Council, WDC), representing all sectors of the diamond industry, have come together for the Intersessional Meeting of the Kimberley Process in Perth with 1 to 4 May.
The main focus of the meeting this year is given to top-cycle review of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS) in order to strengthen the Kimberley Process, said in a statement WDC.
For the second year in a row WDC conducted observers Forum, along with the meeting of the KP, which WDC members of the Association of African Diamond Producers (African Diamond Producers Association) and civil society partners (CSC, DDI) met to discuss their common goals and joint efforts towards promoting the further evolution of the KPCS and improve its efficiency.
In the light of the reform of the KP observer Forum reached a common understanding on the following matters: the strengthening of the internal control manual, the policy on conflict of interest and the establishment of the permanent secretariat of the KP.
"The World Diamond Council is constantly striving to improve the system of safeguards designed to strengthen the proof of conflict-free origin of stones passing through the" diamond pipeline ", - said Andrey Polyakov, WDC President and Vice-President of ALROSA. - We understand that the existing safeguards system is far from perfect, but we hope to be able to present you with an updated system of guarantees by the end of this year. Establishing an effective system would be a significant contribution to the industry in strengthening consumer confidence and the growth of impeccable reputation of our product. "
"We launched the first observers Forum with Plenary 2016 in Dubai and it was a great success - continued Andrey Polyakov. - Yesterday we organized it again and had a fruitful discussion on the minimum requirements for reform and the problems associated with the guarantees of origin. The main objective of this work is the regulation and registration of small-scale artisanal mining. DDI and development agencies have made significant progress, but we will ask for support from the other large organizations, particularly the African institutional participants for the joint study and address this issue. African countries need to gain maximum benefit from artisanal mining for economic development and improving the living conditions of its people. But they will not be able to achieve this, not respecting the business and social responsibility standards. "
