📋 Tender Overview
The government adopted a proposal for an amendment to the Forest Act and submitted it for consideration to the National Assembly through the regular legislative procedure.Forest | Author: Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food. The draft amendment to the Forest Act stipulates changes in the field of driving in forests, the composition of the Council of the Slovenian Forest Service and the Council of the Institute's regional units, the provisions on keeping records of decisions issued in administrative procedures and access to personal data necessary for issuing these decisions are supplemented, the draft law introduces the acquisition of logging residues, permanent storage facilities and the national forest inventory, and fines are increased. The key objective of the draft law is to improve the efficiency of the Institute's work, i.e. the management of administrative procedures and the issuance of administrative decisions by ensuring the integration of individual data from existing collections managed by other managers, for example the ministry responsible for internal affairs (central population register), the Supreme Court of the Republic of Slovenia (computerized main land register) and the Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia (real estate cadastre), while simultaneously ensuring appropriate protection of personal data. The proposed amendment to the law introduces the National Forest Inventory, which is a procedure for large-scale monitoring and inventory of forests, forest ecosystems and forest soils, which ensures statistically consistent collection and processing of data on forests and other forest land in the Republic of Slovenia at the national and regional levels. The amount of fines for violations is adjusted to the legislation on violations and inflation.
