18 2010 FOR ROMSILVA Forest management on 4,4 million ha 3,3 million state forest, 1,1 million private Annual cutting : 9,989 million cm Thinning operations : ha Forest regeneration : ha Illegal logging: cm Forest certification started for 2,5 million ha Investments: 41,8 million euro 9,2 million euro in forestry roads Turnover: 263 million euro 75% from timber - 25% other products
19 CHALLENGES The restitution of forests still in progress trials on court The implementation of the EU directives concerning the environment very restrictive context for the forest- Strategic Environmental Assessment is compulsory for the management plans. Bureaucratic system of the forestry authorities. Technical norms very rigid with implications in the forest management. Small forest property, difficult to be managed. Low density of the forestry roads. Illegal logging guarding the forest with important costs. Due dilligence system. Low level of the budgetary funds allocated to the forests.
