FORESTRY LEGISLATURE OF ARMENIA MUST BE CHANGED :AGRICULTURE MINISTRY
YEREVAN, March 21. /ARKA/. The legal and legislative framework of
forestry sphere in Armenia must be changed and reformed, Artur
Petrosyan, Head of Forestry Department at Agriculture Ministry,
told ARKA on Thursday.
According to him, there are a number of flaws in the current
legislature.
"A working group was summoned that involved members of ministries of
agriculture, nature protection, territorial administration. The group
has prepared new legislative project related to forestry. In some case,
we had to shorten it, and in some place we had to add additional data
to make it meet the international standards," Petrosyan said at the
conference "Steps towards steady forestry management" on the occasion
of International Day of Forests.
According to him, the push for summoning a working group arose after
a GIZ expert unveiled the analysis of the legislature, forestry policy
strategy and a number of rules about some protected areas.
Petrosyan commended the efforts of GIZ (German organization for
international cooperation) not only in conducting the analysis of the
legislative sphere of Armenia, but also elaborating some definite
programs on forestry advancement and the strategy of the rational
use of forest resources.
GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit) was
established by the government of Germany. It operates in over 130
countries worldwide mainly in public sector. -0-
