Abstract

Article 1 defines "saw-wood" but no definition of "processed wood" is given. As a basic principle, the quantity of logwood destined for exportation shall be adjusted annually so as not to endanger the preservation of forest resources and the environment. The amount shall be fixed by the Minister of Forests and Plantations. Article 3 outlines general and specific requirements that shall be met by companies wishing to saw-wood and processed wood. The special requirements are defined on the basis of the origin of the wood, i.e. from Natural Production Forest, Artificial Forests, Smallholders' Estates, or Plantation Areas. The exporter shall report monthly on his export plan and after each shipment to the Director of Export Plan of the Department of Industry and Trade. (6 articles)
