Abstract
This Law determines the forestry sector rules and provisions for all national based forests, forest land (private and public), land intended for afforestation.
The aims of this Law are to implement the cultural inclusive, production and sustainable forest functions management principles.
This Law closely sets the provisions regarding the National Forest Fund, that is in charge for various forest sector and land with forestry destination related tasks and affairs (such as protection of forests and pastures; regeneration of land and plantations set up in forestry purposes; afforestation of degraded land and forest land).
Major scopes of this text are to promote all listed practices aimed at: ensuring the sustainable management of forests; ensuring the integrity of the forest fund and permanence of controlled forest; increasing the surface of national forest areas; ensuring an adequate level of legal continuity, institutional and operational management of forests; imposing several ecological objectives in forestry; increasing the role of forestry in rural development; at promoting and protecting the biological diversity of forests; harmonizing the relations between forestry and other sectors (cross-sectoral approach); supporting and monitoring of forest owners; preventing the irreversible degradation of forests as result of human actions and multiple destabilizing environmental factors indicated as dangerous. Forest vegetation outside the national forest fund is subject to technical forestry norms regarding the evaluation of timber mass and regulations regarding the circulation of timber. The state's public and private forest fund is managed by the National Forestry Administration - Romsilva, an autonomous administration of national interest, under the authority of the state, through the central public authority responsible for forestry, by the National Institute for Research and Development in Forestry Marin Drăcea and by the Autonomous Entity Administration of the State Protocol Heritage, through its own forestry district established under the law. The administration, as well as the forestry services, as the case may be, shall be ensured in compliance with the principle of territoriality. Clear cutting in national parks, nature reserves and natural parks is prohibited, except for stands where natural regeneration cannot be ensured through other cutting. The shipment of timber materials obtained from the national forest fund and from vegetation outside the national forest fund is made only after measuring the timber materials. No fees or taxes shall be paid for publicly owned forest land.
This text is divided as follows: General dispositions (Chapter I); Administration of the national forest fund (Chapter II); Sustainable forest management (Chapter III); Sustainable development of the national forest fund (Chapter IV); Control over the application and observance of the forestry regime (Chapter V); Responsibilities and sanctions (Chapter VI); and Transitional and final provisions (Chapter VII).
The Annex is also part of this publication (containing the list of technical and administrative definitions).
