Presidential Decree № 201 on land categorization and change in category of land.

This Decree lays down rules for determining the mechanism of assigning lands to categories, transferring them from one category to another, changing their purpose within the category, and registration of decisions in the electronic information system. The intended purpose of the land within the category shall only be changed by the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers, except for the cases of changing the intended purpose of the agricultural land under planting and perennial crops within the agricultural land category. The President also decrees that when it is necessary to involve the areas not covered by forests in crop rotation for the purpose of ensuring food security, those land areas are replaced with the same size land areas that are less suitable for agriculture or conditionally unsuitable.
