Abstract

This By-law makes provision for the granting licences for forest use and signing an agreement for the same purpose, through tender or an auction, in accordance with provisions of the Forest Code of Georgia. It defines the principles of tenders and auctions and the rights and obligations of winners of such tenders or auctions, and provides for procedures of such tenders or auctions, and for related matters. A tender committee has to be set up in State Department of Forestry of Georgia in order to conduct a tender and an auction. Licences shall be granted for the logging of timber, whereas forest use agreements certify the right of the utilisation of the forest located at the territory of State Forest Fund (Reserve), including the following types: setting up plantations; utilisation of non-timber resources; forest utilisation for special, scientific-research and educational purposes, for the purposes of health resorts, for recreational purposes, for the purposes of conducting sporting activities, for cultural-health purposes and utilisation, for agricultural purposes, of the land that does not belong to the category of agricultural land of State Forest Fund. A forest utilisation agreement is signed by means of conducting a tender or an auction for the purposes of long-term forest utilisation. Only one licence will be issued or only one agreement will be signed for the purposes of utilising the same type of forest at the same place of State Forest Fund (Reserve).
