13. PRIMA VISTA INTERPRETATION OF ANSWERED SQs Development of MPPs has started very recently in some of the PPs’ countries, or not started yet. Mineral Policy has not been a priority, so far.Development of MPPs has started very recently in some of the PPs’ countries, or not started yet. Mineral Policy has not been a priority, so far. Land Use Planning, in general considers mineral raw materials in most of the countries. Aggregates are treated equally to other resources. For some of the countries, aggregates are considered an important natural resource.Land Use Planning, in general considers mineral raw materials in most of the countries.
