Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Yes. Unfortunately the regulations are not as strong or as effective as we would like them to be. The operator of the lot, the same lot as the previous operator, Pluspetrol, a Dutch company, also left the lot in 2015 without presenting an abandonment plan. What we're seeing is that companies are repeating the same kinds of practices as in the past, and unfortunately our regulations, or the enforcement of them, are not enough to protect the rights of indigenous populations, or the environmental rights in general.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I would say that state officials try to give partial facilitation for any kind of international or national company that is interested in the oil lots. We do have regulations that give better points or facilitate the acquisition of oil lots for companies that have shown better environmental practices previously, but it's not directly to Canadian companies.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you so much. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Aymara León. I'm part of the technical team of four indigenous organizations from the Peruvian Amazon area. As such, I'm also part of the subgroup of the National Coordinator for Human Rights regarding oil spills.
