EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 568 -
SUSPENSION OF EXPORT TAX AND PREMIUM DUTY ON ALL MINERAL PRODUCTS
WHEREAS,
it is policy of the government to encourage, promote and accelerate the
development of export industries to sustain the economy;
WHEREAS, the mineral industry has been a major foreign exchange earner
for the country and its contribution to the economic development of the
nation is of paramount significance to Philippine economic growth;
WHEREAS, the mineral industry has been adversely affected by the
increase in fuel prices and by the changes in market conditions making
the industry uncompetitive abroad;
WHEREAS, the export tax and premium duty imposed on mineral products
have become a form of disincentive to the mining sector’s development
and sustenance as major export industry.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND E. MARCOS, President of the Philippines,
by virtue of the powers vested in me by the Constitution, do hereby
order and direct that the export tax and premium duties imposed on all
mineral products be suspended.
This Order shall take effect immediately.
Done in the City of Manila,
this 19th day of November, in the year of Our Lord, Nineteen Hundred
and Seventy-Nine.
