4 the most vulnerable people, some cards and prior to this event, the State provided training to the beneficiaries and the personnel of the Police Headquarters of Pastaza, in charge of providing protection, on how to use such cards. The State clarified that if the community identifies other vulnerable people, the State shall immediately deliver a card to them. Moreover, the State sustained that it provides protection 24 hours per day at the offices of the Sarayaku community as well as at the community tourism agency located in Puyo. Likewise, it alleged that it is conducting a police operation with permanent patrols in other areas, including the inland port of Latasas. As to the right to freedom of circulation down the Borbonaza River and the maintenance of the airstrip located in the territory of the Sarayaku Indigenous People, the State informed that it is taking steps for the implementation of a permanent police post in the inland port of Latasas and that it has made progress to determine the necessary maintenance measures of the airstrip. 6. Moreover, the representatives pointed out that even though those cards were delivered, the cards “only identify their bearers as beneficiaries of the protective measures but do not guarantee per se their security.” In this respect, the Commission alleged that "the State does not inform on the protection provided to all the members" of the community. In relation to the police post in the inland port of Latasas, the representatives sustained that such post has not been implemented and that the security is not provided on a permanent basis. Furthermore, the airstrip has been improved and maintained by the members of the community themselves. The Commission agreed with what was expressed regarding this last aspect. 7. As to the obligation to remove the explosive material placed in the territory where the Sarayaku community is settled, it is necessary to recall that since January 9, 2001, by means of resolution of the Board of directors of “Petroecuador”, the agreement entered into with CGC Petroleum Company has been suspended, due to “force majeure;” therefore, the company is not carrying out any activity. Then, on May 8, 2009, the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum issued a resolution by which CGC Petroleum Company was informed that the force majeure was lifted and that it had to immediately resume the prospecting and exploitation operations and activities. In that respect, the representatives indicated that this resolution was issued without holding any previous consultation with the Sarayaku People and that it could have serious implications for the security and integrity of the beneficiaries. In response to the above mentioned, the State indicated that, in August 2009, the Board of Directors of “Petroecuador” decided to cancel the suspension of the activities in blocks 23 and 24 and ordered to immediately resume the activities stipulated in the contracts for the prospecting and exploitation of the hydrocarbons of said blocks. However, the State informed that it had entered into negotiations with CGC to consider such contracts terminated and that, in the course of said negotiations, it is not contemplated the commencement of the operations of the company. The representatives expressed that said resolution had affected the trust earned. The Commission indicated that the scope of such negotiation is not clear. 8. Specifically, the State informed that the removal of the pentolite is conducted in two phases: the first one regarding the material found in the surface, a phase already completed, and the second one, regarding the material found under the surface of the earth. As to the first phase, the State had previously informed that, in December 2007, an Inter-institutional Cooperation Agreement was entered into between the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum and the Sarayaku People, which was terminated in April 2008 with approximately 40% of those preliminary works. To complete the rest of the preliminary works, a second agreement was entered into between Sarayaku and the Ministry in April 2008. In October and December 2009, a
