Abstract

This bylaw determines the rules and terms for the issuance of general licenses for forest usage, special licenses for hunting, and timber processing. The general license for forest usage is the document that includes special licences for hunting and wood processing. For exercising activities envisaged by a special licence, there is no requirement to obtain the general licence. No licence shall be required for the administrative body’s issuance of wood for fuel for personal use of local population or for forest use for special purposes. The Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources shall be the authorized state institution responsible for the issuance of general and special forestry licences to be distributed through auction. Prior to holding such an auction, the Ministry may establish the quantitative, qualitative and time norms for the timber materials (location of timber manufacturing, species of timber plants, capacity of manufacturing, particular usage rule, mandatory requirements against the subject of the activity etc), and for the use of fauna and arrangements for hunting, which shall be approved by a special normative act of the Minister for each specific occasion. The period of validity of forest usage licences shall be up to 20 years.
