In this regard the Federation Council pays great attention to the preservation of Russian forests and the development of the domestic forest complex.During the parliamentary hearings issues of implementing the Chambers Resolution on improving state policy in the field of forestry were considered. The participants noted that the federal laws adopted in pursuance of the Decree in the field of protection protection and reproduction of forests contribute to the achievement of the goals of sustainable forest management and the organization of their profitable development.For example the Federal Law On Amendments to the Forest Code of the Russian Federation and Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation in Part of Improving the Legal Regulation of Forestry Relations provides for the creation of a federal state information system for the forestry complex which makes it possible to significantly influence the shadow market of timber which contributes to an increase in revenues to the consolidated the budget of the Russian Federation income from the use of forests.Legislative norms establishing a ban on the presence in the forest of persons with logging and logging equipment without documents authorizing logging have already today made it possible to significantly reduce the volume of illegal logging of forest plantations.As Vladimir Lebedev noted the improvement of forest legislation should not be carried out solely in the direction of establishing unreasonable restrictions. First of all legislative innovations should contribute to solving existing problems increasing the economic and social efficiency of the legal regulation of forest relations. The industry still has chronic problems that require special attention at the moment. Among them insufficient provision of forestry with financial resources caused by the lack of economic mechanisms for self-financing of the industry low technological and personnel support for forestry which prevents its intensification deterioration in the state of forest management and forest seed production the existence of legal restrictions on the construction of forest roads.Particularly noted was the low level of use of technological wood in industrial and municipal energy in the production of building materials as well as problems with providing the population with wood for the construction repair of houses and heating
