Instructions No. 2 implementing Law No. 8302 of 12 March 1998 'On the administration of incomes generated by the State Forests and Pastures'.

All communes that have received in use state forests and pastures should deposit, into a special bank account opened for the communal forests and pastures project, all revenues paid by the villagers and/or other users. These incomes may be in the form of tariffs for collecting working materials, firewood, oak leaf and fodder; penalties, sales of seized forest materials; and any other type of tariffs and levies related to the use of the forests and pastures. At the beginning of each year, the communes, in cooperation with the head of each village and the village commission on forests and pastures, should evaluate the requests for utilization of the forests and pastures and prepare the annual contracts. The inspector of the forest services (DGFP Field District Office) shall approve the contracts before they enter into force. A certain quota of revenues constitutes the Investment Fund to be used for the improvement of the communal forests and pastures. The Investment Fund is managed through a Management Board. The committee of the Association for the Use of the Communal Forests and Pastures prepares, in cooperation with the communal forest specialist and based on priorities expressed by the village committees, the plans for the use of the Investment Funds in those areas such as forest treatment, improvements and protection of degraded areas.
