The court annulled four articles within the ministerial regulation, including article 21, which forbids mining concession holders from
exporting raw materials, arguing that the issue should not be regulated by the ministry while also stripping the ministry of its

another three other articles. Through its ruling, the court effectively handed authority back to local governments.
