Rosleskhoz is developing a unified approach to the preparation of documents for priority investment projects in the forestry sector
Rosleskhoz is developing regulations for two public services: provision of forest plots and conducting state examination of forest development projects as part of the implementation of investment projects.
This topic was discussed at a round table dedicated to the interaction of the state and business in investment activities at the "Forests of Russia" forum. The event also considered typical errors that occur when submitting applications for the lease of forest plots for the implementation of investment projects and the development of forest development projects.
Alexey Abramov, Head of the Federal State Forest Supervision Department of Rosleskhoz: "When analyzing forest development projects that have undergone state examination, it should be noted that the developers make uniform errors. In particular, an incomplete set of documents is sent to the department, incorrect filling of industry tables is revealed, incorrect volumes of fire prevention measures, reforestation and forest protection measures are established. In this regard, we have developed recommendations and sent them to the regions. This will reduce the number of technical errors and shortcomings, as well as simplify the procedure for providing services to businesses and reduce the number of refusals".
The draft administrative regulations are currently being coordinated with the relevant departments. It is expected that their introduction will simplify the entire process and reduce the administrative burden on businesses.
In addition, work is underway with the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation on a draft amendment to the standard form of a lease agreement. Representatives of the business community will be involved in the discussion of this document.
