Article 14The forest authorities only distribute Forest seeds, saplings and other vegetation materials to be used as reproductive material for superior breeds or cultivars, after certification has taken place. For all forest seeds and medicinal and tanniferous plants to be used as sowing material, laboratory tests are carried at the seed facilities of the Institute for Forest and Pasture Research. Article 15The state and communal forest stock is administered according to inventories and management plans. Management plans designed by study and research institutes, aim at the conservation of adequate wood structure of the necessary production, protective and reactive qualities characteristic of forest ecosystems. Summary programs as per management areas and inventories are approved by the General Directorate of Forests thereupon becoming obligatory for implementation. Article 16The forest stock is entered in the cadastre registry separately for each region. Annual changes should be entered regularly. The General Directorate of Forests defines the manner of administration of the forest cadastre, including documentation requirements. Article 17To increase the forest stock and its production capacities, the General Directorate of Forests and local governments, through the local directorates of forest service, are obligated to undertake the forestation of divest lands, slopes, sandbanks, barren and gravel land, low-productivity forest stock lands and other such lands. In such cases, fast growing and highly economic varieties are used in compliance with stationary conditions. These authorities are also responsible for provision of seed care, improvement of existing forests, sanitation works and care taking installations in accordance with the forests utilisation and economic goals. Article 18In river and stream basins and in zones of snow accumulation, to prevent erosion such measures are taken as the forestation of divest parts, the protection of upper level woodlands and the banning of tree felling and animal grazing. Article 19It is prohibited to fell or uproot trees in very steep places, in belts of 100 m width on the upper boundary of vegetation; it is prohibited to fell and uproot rare varieties of trees and shrubs, as well as the trees on both sides of national roads with sloping edge of 30 per cent and in land width of 20 m above and below the road track. Article 20Forest authorities are under the obligation to take measures to increase wild animals and fowl in the forest and hunting stock and to ensure the population of forests by such species. They are also responsible for management of fishing in the mountainous water bodies. The General Directorate of Forests in accordance with the hunting law designates the area of forest stock to be used as hunting reservoirs and of mountainous body waters to be used as fishing reservoirs. Article 21Except when so authorised by special decision of the Council of Ministers, such activities are prohibited in the forest stock that may cause reduction of productivity, prevent revitalisation of trees, downgrade the forest’s protection and its social economic functions. CHAPTER IIIEXPLOITATION OF FORESTS AND FOREST PRODUCTSArticle 2 Forest stock is divided into production and protective forests. The felling of woods is allowed in the production forests in accordance with the provisions of this law and relevant by-laws. The felling of woods, as stipulated in the instructions of the General Directorate of Forests, is not allowed in the protective forests, except as care taking and sanitation operations. Forest authorities are responsible for management and planning of forests, national parks and any other territory that may be proclaimed as such.
Article 23The wood material to be harvested from the state and communal forests is calculated in accordance with exploitation capacities, inventories and planning programs so that the protection of the land, improvement of climate elements, and reinforcement of natural ecosystems, as well as continuity of production are ensured. The creation of standing wood material is mandated by decision of the Council of Ministers. The exploitation of private forests must not affect the protection of the land and the preservation of climate elements. Article 24The General Directorate of Forests plans yearly, on a regional basis, the amounts of wood material that may be exploited based on exploitation capacities and oversees implementation in accordance with relevant legal provisions. Article 25The right to exploit the forest, in accordance with the provisions of this law is vested with physical and legal persons having obtained a license to engage in this activity. Article 26Trees to be felled in state and communal forests are indicated by special stamp imprinted by forest authorities. The stamps are individual and may be used only upon the orders of the forest service authorities. The General Forest Directorate designs the size and shape of the stamp. The destruction, forging or use of the stamp by unauthorized persons or in other forest zones is subject to punishment by law. Article 27Schedules for exploitation of trunks, stumps and shrubs, and schedule of felling for care taking purposes are defined by special order of the General Directorate of Forests. Article 28The exploitation of the wood material and other forest products in the case of massive felling is launched following design and endorsement of technological project. It is subject to signature of contract and liquidation of payment calculated as per tariffs set by the Council of Ministers. The contract signature takes place only following signature of the report of taking hold of plots to be exploited after an exploitation permit has been granted. |
