Abstract

The Act lays down provisions to protect and ensure the preservation of regional plant and tree species of particular value. Article 2 gives the definition of “monumental plant” in order to define the scope of these protective measures. A special Committee is appointed to verify that plant and trees meet the requirements set out in article 2 so as to benefit from the protective provisions hereby established and obtain the “declaration of monumentality”(art. 4). Article 7 deals with penalties and administrative sanctions. Article 8 provides for the setting up of the Regional Register of Monumental Plans.
