Law no. 100 of 3 June 2010 on afforestation of degraded lands.

This Law provides the rules and terms as regards degraded lands present on the territory of Romania, regardless of their form of ownership. Degrade lands can be restored and improved by afforestation works, in order to protect the soil, to restore the hydrological balance and to improve overall environmental conditions. The object of this Law is the afforestation of degraded lands, as defined in point 48 of the Annex to Law no. 46/2008-Romania Forestry Code.
The reception of related afforestation works on such degraded lands is made with the obligatory participation of: a) the owner of the land; b) the representative of the forestry territorial unit of the central public authority responsible for forestry; c) the representative of the specialized unit for the execution of the afforestation works. These degraded lands, suitable for afforestation, are included in the national forest fund within maximum 30 days from the date of their transmission in the administration of the National Forests Authority (article 17).
