ISSUER GREAT NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
Published in OFFICIAL BULLETIN no. 35 35 of 23 April 1976



Pursuant to Article 57 of the Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Romania we sign and have to be published in the Official Bulletin of the Socialist Republic of Romania Law no. 2 2 of 15 April 1976 for the adoption of the "National Programme for the Conservation and Development of the Forest Fund from 1976-2010". NICOLAE CEAUSESCU PRESIDENT THE SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF ROMANIA In the Socialist Republic Romania the forests, good of all the people, constitute one of the main natural riches of the country. The preservation, development and rational management of the forest fund in the interest of the whole society is a state problem, a duty of all citizens of the homeland. On the basis of the decisions of the 11th Congress of the party was developed the "National Program for the Conservation and Development of the Forest Fund from 1976-2010", which was subject to a wide public consultation and debate and approved by the congress popular councils, thus expressing the adherence of all the people to the tasks they contain. The programme establishes, in a unified design, a long-term set of measures, for the purpose of defence, preservation and development of forest heritage, its superior qualitative valorisation, the assurance of a rational exploitation of forests, the protection of the environment, of the kinetic and fish fauna. In order to fulfil the measures provided for in The Great National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Romania adopts this law. + Article 1 The "National Programme for the Conservation and Development of the Forest Fund from 1976-2010" is adopted. + Article 2 The objectives and directions of development of the forest fund, as well as the measures provided for in the national program, are mandatory for ministries, other central bodies, county, municipal, municipal, municipal and all Socialist units. + Article 3 The Supreme Council of Economic and Social Development and the Council of Ministers will ensure the coverage in the five-year and annual plans of the tasks resulting from the program, will establish the necessary measures to carry out it exactly and will exercise permanent a rigorous and systematic control over the execution of the program provisions. + Article 4 The Ministry of Forest Economy and Construction Materials together with ministries, other central bodies and popular councils are obliged to ensure the development of forest fund, afforestation of degraded land unfit for agriculture, the application of a normal regime for the cutting and regeneration of forests, the strengthening of their protection functions, the promotion of high productivity species, as well as the other objectives and tasks provided for in the program. To this end, they will establish correlated measures, leading to the realization, with maximum and term efficiency, of the provisions of the program. + Article 5 The county folk councils will establish on the basis of the program, the tasks of the municipalities, cities and communes for the development, protection and enhancement of the productivity of communal forests. + Article 6 All residents of the country have a citizen's duty to contribute to the defense and development of the forest fund, to actively participate through work on afforestation works, improvement of degraded land, care and forest protection. This law was passed by the Grand National Assembly at its meeting on April 15, 1976. President of the Great National Assembly, Nicolae Giosan + NATIONAL PROGRAMME FOR THE CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE FOREST FUND FROM 1976 TO 2010 The superior management of the country's natural riches-the major problem of Romania's development at the current stage and in perspective-is at the center of the concerns of our party and state. In light of the main guidelines clearly defined and scientific rigor by the party secretary-general in his speech at the conclusion of the work of the first Republican Council of Forestry Management, in October 1974, and of the provisions of the documents of the 11th Congress of the Romanian Communist Party, the "National Program for the Conservation and Development of the Forest Fund from 1976-2010" was elaborated; broad production specialists from the Ministry of Economy Forestry and Construction Materials, from the Academy of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences, from research and design and education, being consulted ministries and other central bodies interested. Examined at the meeting of the Executive Political Committee of the C.C. of the P.C.R. of September 23, 1975 and improved based on the indications given by Comrade Nicolae Ceausescu, the program was approved by the Plenary of the Central Committee of the Romanian Communist Party of 16 December 1975, subject to public debate and approved by the Congress of the County People's Councils and the presidents of the municipal, city and communal folk councils, from February 4-6, 1976. The program includes, in a unified conception, the necessary measures for: defense, preservation and development of the forest fund, the introduction of a normal regime of cutting and regeneration of forests, to ensure a maximum efficiency of exploitation Improving the protection functions of forests and increasing the volume of wood for industrial uses; further improving the management of wine and fishing in mountain waters; development of harvesting and recovery superior products of forest accessories; raising the professional level of technical frameworks, corresponding to the degree of complexity of forest management; the more tight linking of research and design to the forest areas of the country. As Comrade Nicolae Ceausescu showed at the Congress of the county folk councils and the presidents of the municipal, city and communal folk councils, the program is an integral part of the " general program of harmonious organization of the entire economic-social life, foreshadows the future development, in a long perspective of our society, tomorrow's perspective of the homeland, the life prospects of present and future generations ". Current situation of the forest fund In our country, at the beginning of the last century, the forests occupied 8.5-9 million ha and 35-40% of the territory. Their area was gradually reduced as a result of non-rational exploits and deforestation of some forests, reaching 6.3 million ha at the end of 1975 (annexes no. 1 1, 1.a) and 1.b) *). The reduction of the forest area constitutes a danger to the hydrological balance, to the protection of soil and the environment, as well as to the forest production base. Simultaneously with the decrease of the forest fund area, a decrease in the quality of some forest areas was reduced, through abusive exploits in some pools where valuable species were extracted with priority-resinous and oak trees-, through insufficient concern for the reforestation of naked land, through illegal logging of trees, grazing practiced without restrictions, etc. The intensity of the exploitation of forests reached a maximum level between the two world wars-in 1930 exceeding by about 60% the growth achieved in the accessible forests-when the foreign-owned companies bare whole basins-Vrancea, Aries, Lotru, Ampoi, Sebes, Trotus s.a.-, exposing their erosion and also, through the unrational cutting of forests reach maturity, have unbalanced their structure by age classes. The level of the exploits was also maintained in the period 1949-1964, the volume of wood mass in main products-mature forests-exceeding the "possibility"-the normal cutting quota-19-47% on the total and 37-104% in resinous, especially in Bistrita, Moldova, Oituz. Insufficient attention to the execution of care works in some young forests has also been added to this improper situation. Currently forests have an increase of 4.5 mc/year/ha, below the level of favorable natural conditions in our country, mainly due to the small share of seedlings in forest composition (28%), the existence of over 700 thousand hectares of weak forests productive-with an average increase of up to 2 mc/year/ha-and of one million hectares of forests, especially of beech, past the age of exploitation, largely located in inaccessible basins, in which wood accumulations are reduced (2-3 mc/year/ha). For the knowledge of forest resources, the transition to the scientific management of the forest fund and the establishment of the possibility of forests, during 1948-1956 forest facilities were developed for all forests, our country being the first of world that has totally set up the forest fund; the facilities are periodically reviewed, out of 10 in 10 years, and based on them, the national inventory of the forest fund is drawn up from 5 to 5 years. The current possibility-established by forestry facilities-is 21 million mc (Annex no. 2 *), compared to a forest increase of 28 million mc per year; the difference between the volume of growth and the possibility is necessary to be maintained for the recovery of the forest structure. The possibility of main products, corresponding to the regeneration cuts of mature forests, is 16.4 million mc per year, being established in relation to the area of each production unit, the extent of the exploitable forests, the insurance the exercise of the protection functions of the forest in that area, the cutting age and the need to maintain the continuity of the holdings. The possibility of secondary products, corresponding to care cuts in young forests-in order to reduce the number of specimens per hectare and forest improvement-is 4.6 million mc. In the period from the nationalization of forests and so far important achievements have been achieved both in the management of the forest fund, as well as in the forestry research and arrangement: -the execution of afforestation works on about 2 million hectares; within this action were forested all previously exploited areas, also properly improving the composition of forests by species; of these about 105 thousand hectares, represents the improvement by afforestation of degraded and unproductive land, supported, at the same time, with works to strengthen the slopes and arrange torrents; -improvement of the location and sizing of cuts, in relation to the priority functions of the forest; currently about 22% of forests perform special functions of water protection, soil, against harmful climatic factors or leisure functions and reserves; -the gradual decrease starting from 1966 of the volume of cuts in order to enroll in possibility, its exceeding continuously shrinking, so that in 1971-1973 it was 11% in total species and 29% in resinous; in 1974-1975 it was exploited even below the amount of possibility, saving in these 2 years a volume of 1.5 million mc of wood for industrial production, compared to the plan provisions; -the gradual increase of the areas covered with care cuts and hygiene operations from 600 thousand hectares in 1951 to about 1300 thousand hectares in 1974; -introduction and extension of forest protection works, based on the modern system signage-detection-forecast; -generalization of the measures of rational management and protection of the wine, the development of folk with valuable wine, the increase of livestock and wine harvests, as well as the restocking of mountain waters with trout; -the organization and continuous development of the activity of harvesting and valorization of the forest's accessories products; -the creation of new classes of fast growing species, acclimatization and introduction into production of exotic species of high yield, perfecting technologies on the restoration of poorly productive forests, establishing methods for preventing and combating forest pests, the unitary arrangement of the forest fund through modern technical procedures. I. Provide a normal regime for the cutting and regeneration of forests In order to ensure a normal regime for the cutting and regeneration of forests and the creation of conditions for future growth in the volume of the holdings, the following measures shall be established: 1. Limitation of the volume of annual cuts, in the decade 1976-1985, to 20 million mc gross wood mass per foot, as follows: Annual possibility The volume of annual cuts Gross wood mass per foot, in million mc-total21,020,0 of which:-main products 16,416,0-secondary products 4,64,0 This limitation will contribute to the achievement of a more balanced age group structure and consequently to the future increase in the volume of annual cuts (Annexes no. 2.a) and 2.b) *). Outside the resources provided above, it is estimated-based on the achievements of previous years-that a volume of 1.2-1.6 million mc will still be able to be capitalized annually through hygiene operations-broken trees, dried, attacked by insects, downed by wind, Dispersed-and courtiers in young forests. The wood mass from these cuts will be identified annually by the forestry units, in order to capitalize on it as a priority. The volume, structure and destination of the entire wood mass will be approved by law, with the unique annual economic-social development plan, at the proposal of the Ministry of Forestry Economy and Construction Materials and the State Committee of Planning. The wood mass resulting from downing caused by wind, rain and heavy snow and other calamities, which exceeds the average annual level of hygiene operations provided to be harvested as accidental products, will be included in the annual cutting quota, Properly diminishing the volume of planned cuts. Taking into account the age, the small dimensions and the protective role of forest vegetation in forested pastures, in the decade 1976-1985 the wood mass on these pastures will not be harvested. 2. The annual cutting quota will be distributed on county and forest forest inspectorates, correlated with the possibility of the respective forests and with the provisions of the Law on environmental protection, taking into account the protective role of the forests of each area. Measures will be taken to link the cutting quota with the possibility of each production unit. 3. In order to capitalize on the multiple physical and social protection functions of forests, priority will be given to protecting water resources and hydrotechnical facilities, as well as preserving the natural environment in pretown, balneoclimateric areas, of tourist interest, along national roads and watercourses, etc. The cuts, afforestation, torrential corrections and the other specific forestry works will be executed in accordance with the provisions of the plans for the complex arrangement of river basins. The Ministry of Forestry Economy and Construction Materials together with the ministries and other central bodies interested will develop in 1977 a draft normative act on the functional zoning of forests, which will have provisions corresponding to the current and prospective requirements of the society towards the forest, correlated with the Environmental Protection Act, the watershed design program and the Law on the systematization of urban territory and localities and rural. 4. In young forests-shortcomings in exploitation-care cuts will be carried out-release, cleaning and rarity-depending on the stage of forest development, selectively extracting trees that prevent the development of higher quality ones, that must be led to adulthood, as well as those dried, attacked by insects, downed or broken by wind. Depending on their nature, these cuts will be executed at intervals of 3-8 years, concentrated and successively, by groups of plots, thus ensuring the necessary reassurance to the forest and the kinetic fauna. The area of these cuts and hygiene will increase from 1.3 million hectares in 1975 to about 2 million hectares in 2010, achieving an increase of about 48 percent (Annex no. 3 3 *). 5. When harvesting the main products from the exploitation of mature forests, virstars and diameters will be observed according to the culture regime, the way of regenation cutting and the production classes of the forest, in order to ensure a maximum efficiency. The cutting limits are: 40-140 years in codru forests; 15-40 years in cring forests; 15-25 years for Euro-American poplars; 30-50 years at special resinous plantations for cellulose. The cornerstones and cutting diameters for the main products are those in Annex no. 4 4). 6. In order to ensure the natural regeneration of forests, which constitute one of the factors for the preservation of the environment and the production of valuable wood, with superior technological qualities, the Ministry of Forestry and Materials Construction will take action on: -the expansion of gardening cuts and other intensive treatments that promote natural regeneration-verified in our country-in all forests with special projection functions, especially in the areas of hydrotechnical accumulations, cities, objectives tourist and the like; -the maximum restriction of the breeds of breeds, which are to be practiced in very special conditions; in pure spruce forests, plantations of poplars, poorly productive forests that are replaced by valuable ones, cring forests in the area of cimpie and Choline that regenerates from shoots. The surface of the shaved parquet floors will be a maximum of 5 ha in the forests with special protection functions, as well as in the pure spruce forests, and a maximum of 10 ha in the other forests, and after 1985 it will be reduced to 3 ha and 5 ha, respectively. In order to avoid the concentration of cuts on the basins, these prosecutors will thus increase their joining to take place at intervals of 3-7 years. 7. The Ministry of Forestry Economy and Construction Materials will organize through forestry and exploitation personnel-whenever needed and at least twice a year, spring and autumn-extensive and sustained actions of cleaning. forested forests and pastures of fallen trees, broken and downed by wind, of wood materials left over the valleys, roads and on slopes, in order to capitalize on wood and ensure a neat appearance. The population will also be trained in these works, giving priority to the wood supply of those who participate in their realization. 8. In relation to the forest management measures provided for in the program, the Ministry of Forest Economy and Construction Materials will take measures to improve, until the end of 1977, the technical norms for the arrangement of forests, especially in regarding the expansion of cuts based on natural regeneration, the establishment of optimal diameters to be made exploitation, the restoration of poorly productive forests, the organization of care cuts, etc. 9. In order to execute the necessary forestry works at the level of the entire forest fund and the exploitation of wood mass, it will gradually be carried out the arrangement of a corresponding network of forest roads. The Ministry of Forestry Economy and Construction Materials will take measures to systematize existing forest roads, remaining to be used as such only those necessary for the management and exploitation of forests, as well as other sectors of the economy, according to the Law of Roads, all roads that are no longer necessary afforestation within one year of their decommissioning. 10. In order to increase the volume of wood for industry and to raise labor productivity in the conditions of avoiding the injury of natural seminaries and trees left standing, the Ministry of Forestry and Construction Materials will generalize the technologies of exploitation of trees with crown, long trunks and masts to the entire volume intended for pruning. The technologies will be established jointly by specialists from exploitation and forestry, for each individual flooring, and the sorting of exploited trees will be done on pre-industrialization platforms, equipped with the necessary mechanisms. The application of these technologies must lead to diminishing losses and technological consumptions, reducing the service life of the prosecutor's offices to a maximum of one year, using the upper wood mass and giving it on time in the economic circuit. Measures will be taken to ensure that the technological loss of mass timber in operation does not exceed 2.7% at the level of 1985 and 2,5% at the level of 2010. It is forbidden to peel trees exploited in the forest, this operation is to be done on pre-industrialization platforms, in warehouses or factories, outside strictly justified cases of forest protection against pests, which will be approved by the Minister of Forestry Economy and Building Materials. 11. In the forestry operations will ensure the complete valorization of the planned wood mass by eliminating high carvers, training in production of wind downers within a maximum of one year from their production, small wood and crabs, as well as by the timely repression of the prosecutors ' offices exploited to forest units, to be reforested. 12. Research, as well as assimilations of new types of machinery and mechanisms, must ensure that the mechanization of the main operations in technological, operating processes, reaches the level of 1980 the following indices: 98% on downed and sectioned, 89% at the top-up and 90% at the wood mowing. II. Conservation, development and growth of forest fund productivity In order to preserve, develop and increase forest fund productivity, the following measures will be taken: 1. The forest fund will remain in perspective, at least at the current extent, first of all by analyzing and more demanding the requests for land removal from this fund. The removal of land from the forest fund for overhead power lines, the location of other investment objectives and for the satisfaction of other requirements of the national economy, can be done only under the conditions provided by law, exceptionally, in strictly justified cases, according to the regulations in force. 2. Degraded land outside the forest fund and those in the bed of rivers subject to floods-unfit for agriculture-will be compulsorily forested. To this end will be constituted commissions from representatives of popular councils and units from agriculture, forestry, water management, transport and others, which will make proposals for the delimitation and afforestation of those lands. On the basis of these proposals will be established, under the conditions provided by law, the necessary measures for the realization of afforestation by the forestry offices or by the holders, with the technical assistance of the forestry bodies. 3. The Ministry of Forestry Economy and Construction Materials will take measures to carry out the following forest fund perspective structures, established on the basis of studies: Area of forest fund at the level of 1975 and in perspective-millions of hectares-Forest composition-% Level 1975Level 2010 resinous basefoioasinous totaloak totaloak Total of which, by area: 6,3287219,6406020,1- cimpie0,60,399,745,539746,6-coline1,969450,6128851,8-munte3,84357-6040- Within this structure, in the culture of forest species will be ensured: -extension of the resinous species-spruce, fir, duglas, pines-where the natural conditions are favorable, for the satisfaction of the national economy needs; -promotion in the culture of the other valuable native species: pedunculate oak, gorun, fag, paltin, frasin, cherry, lime, walnut; -maintaining the extent of forests in the area of cimpie and improving their quality; -the management of forests of oak trees at old age-and their proper management-so that trees with large diameters and with increased volume of wood for furnishing and other superior industrial uses are obtained; -the expansion of the rapidly growing deciduous species, placing a special emphasis on the planting of selected poplars and willow, especially in the meadow and Danube delta; -conservation of valuable forest genetic resources. In order to ensure the above-mentioned structure, in the national single economic-social development plan, the areas of the forest fund to be forested with softwood and deciduous trees will be distinctly provided, with the specification of the surfaces intended for fast-growing species and valuable native ones. 4. In the fifteenth of 1976-1980 will be carried out afforestation on land in the area of 325 thousand hectares, of which integral afforestation on 278 thousand hectares, the rest being additions to previous plantations, and in the following five of 220 thousand hectares full afforestation (Annex no. 5 5). The areas will come from current logging of forests and degraded land that will enter the forest fund, their afforestation being carried out within a maximum of one year after the end of exploitation or the takeover of land, as the case may be. Afforestation will be carried out in the majority by plantations, and in the years of fructification, and by direct sowing of softwood and deciduous; for this purpose about 250 million seedlings will be produced annually for afforestation at the level of the entire fund forest, regardless of the keepers. In the afforestation works it will be followed that, on the total, including in the communal forests, the rasinous occupy 6566% of the area that is imposed annually, and in the forests managed by the Ministry of Forestry and Construction Materials, 70-77% ((Annex no. 5 5). The Ministry of Forestry Economy and Construction Materials will take measures to ensure, starting with 1978, the certification and genetic control of all reproductive material. 5. The continuation of the action to restore the about 700 thousand hectares poorly productive forests will take place at an annual average rate of about 22 thousand hectares, so that it ends in the period 2005-2010. The restoration will be achieved, mainly, with fast-growing species of resinous and deciduous trees, which will lead to a production of 2-3 times higher and an increase in the proportion of working wood from 30-40% as it is currently at 75-80%. 6. The area of forests with fast growing species and high economic value will increase until 2010 to resinous from 1735 thousand hectares to 2520 thousand hectares (Annex no. 6 6). At afforestation will be used mainly improved domestic species, valuable and high yield. Through the salcim and lime plantations provided to be carried out on 120 thousand hectares will extend the melifera base in the forest fund, and through the dud plantations in alignments, along the roads near the villages, in the forest protection curtains, on The lysis of the forests and around the forest cantons, will develop the basis of raw material for the sericulture. 7. Pina in 2000 will create 450 thousand hectares special plantations for the production of cellulose wood, of which 390 thousand hectares with softwood and 60 thousand hectares with soft deciduous. Through the use of selected saplings and fertilization, these crops will be able to exploit at ages 30-50 years at resinous and 15-20 years in soft deciduous, compared to 100-120 years and 20-25 years respectively in the ordinary forests, thus obtaining an increase of Production of 6-8 mc/year/ha on softwood crops and 8-10 mc/year/ha on soft deciduous ones. From the area of special cellulose crops, about 50 thousand hectares of pine trees will also be intended to obtain an increased production of colophonium, within the program developed for this purpose by the Ministry of Forestry Economy and Construction Materials. 8. The area of irrigated crops will increase from 500 hectares, as it is now, to 15 thousand hectares in 2010; in the same period fertilizers will be applied on 390 thousand hectares. These measures will have to obtain an estimated wood mass increase of 15-20 mc/year/ha in the crops of irrigated and fertilized poplars, 4-6 tons/ha on wicker and 1.5-2 mc/year/ha in the mature forests of fertilized resinous trees. The need for chemical fertilizers during 1976-2010 is estimated at about 200 thousand tons of the active substance (Annex no. 7 7). 9. The tree breeding works will thus intensify the entire quantity of seeds to come from reserves constituted in the most valuable forests (Annex no. 8 8) and from seed plantations that capitalize at 10-15 years, the growth spore to be achieved by the use of the improved genetic material being 10-15%. For this purpose the area of semincere plantations will increase from 357 hectares to 560 hectares in 1980 and an intensive management will be carried out on the 110 thousand hectares reserves (Annex no. 8 8). Until the quantities of seeds required from the sowing, pine, larch seed plantations are ensured, the seed shortage will be completed from import (Annex no. 9), the value of which will be covered by foreign exchange funds that will be made by exporting seeds of valuable domestic species (spruce, fir, salcim and others), after which the entire seed required will be provided from the country. 10. It will extend the works to prevent the mass occurrence of pests and attacks in forests and forest crops from 80 thousand hectares, in 1975, to about 100 thousand hectares in 1990. The gradual expansion of modern methods of biological control of chemical ones with selective and less polluting pesticides, with reduced doses-in the framework of integrated combat-will thus be achieved at the level of 2000 to apply on about 80 thousand Hectares. 11. Utility aviation will be used to a greater extent in the works to combat forest pests, as well as the transport of forest material and trout seedling necessary to restock mountain waters; in case of fires in forests, the planes will be secured with priority. 12. The degree of mechanization of the main groups of works-with mechanisms produced in the country-will increase between 1976 and 2010 (Annex no. 10), as follows: to seed harvesting and processing, from 45% to 80%; to works in nurseries, from 60% to 90%; to afforestation, from 15% to 50%; to crop care cuts and young forests, from 20% to 75%, and to the works of forest protection, from 65% to 100%. 13. The application of the set of measures provided for the preservation, development and increase of the forest fund's productivity must lead to an increase in the wood mass of 6.2 million mc in 2010, 22% higher than the increase current, of which 4.6 million mc in resinous forests (Annex no. 11 11). The total volume of holdings-which, besides main and secondary products, also includes the wood mass resulting from other resources: hygiene cuts, cleaning from alignments, from forested pastures-will have to reach about 28 million mc in the year 2010 2010 (Annexes no. 12, 12.a) 13 and 13.a); of these, the rasinous will represent about 10 million mc compared to 6 million mc as currently exploited. III. Development of the wine and fish economy For the continuous improvement of the activity of hunting and fish farming in mountain waters, the following measures will be taken: 1. The effects and vintages of wine from each hunting fund will increase accordingly to the provisions of the program, ensuring the necessary conditions of forage and protection, as well as the needs to protect the forests (Annex no. 14); it will also ensure the lifting of the quality of the wine by improving the structure by age and sex classes in trophy-bearing species and by applying artificial selection. 2. The area of spread of the wine will be extended by intensifying the population with appropriate wine species, reserving for this purpose 30-40 thousand hectares poieni to provide the feed base, by creating breeders and hunting complexes in which the higher quantity and quality are to be achieved. 3. Ministry of Forestry Economy and Construction Materials, Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry and National Environmental Protection Council will take measures to limit the negative effects of pesticide use. on the kinetic fauna. 4. The production of trout for consumption will increase to 185 tonnes at the level of 1980 and 690 tonnes at the level of 2010 (Annex no. 15), by increasing the productivity of trout, from 1.6 kg/sqm water gloss, currently, to 3.8 kg/sqm water gloss at the level of 1980, alpine lakes and dam, mountain rivers, by introducing industrial fishing in some fishing and by building high capacity trout. IV. Valorisation of forest accessories In order to harvest and capitalize on the superior products of the forest, the following measures will be taken: 1. It will intensify the maximum harvesting of berries (raspberries, blackberries, black and red blueberries, macese, porumbe, etc.) and edible mushrooms (hribi, galbiori, ghebe, craite, roscovi, etc.), for which there are requirements on the internal and external market. ((Annex no. 16 16). 2. The areas cultivated with fruit shrubs, wicker from selected varieties and other special crops will increase using for this purpose every square meter of land under the overhead power lines, from the forest liders, from the courtyards. Forest cantons and brigades; until the end of 1978 within each forestry brigade or district will be set up such plantations on at least 0.5 hectares. 3. It will be organized the processing of berries and mushrooms in semi-industrialized products, which ensure a superior valorization and allow, at the same time, better use of local possibilities. 4. It will develop the growth of silkworms-on mulberry leaves, oak, etc. -, so that the production of silk donuts in the forestry sector will increase annually, systematically. V. The saving of wood mass In order to save the wood mass and increase the industrialization of the exploited wood, the following measures will be taken: 1. It will further reduce the volume of firewood, wood for construction and other unprocessed wood assortments, while increasing the recovery of waste, crates, viruses, sawdust and peels; it is prohibited to use in the form of wood fuel that can be industrially processed. 2. It will replace, as much as possible, the wooden sleepers for the railway with concrete sleepers and will extend the modern methods of support underground, in order to save the wood to the maximum. 3. They will eliminate entirely the wooden stilts, the manels and the cakes used in construction, and the timber will be used only in exceptional cases, based on the distribution. 4. The wood to be used for sleepers and stiles will be compulsorily impregnated with preservative substances, in order to extend the duration of use; the mine wood will impregnate where the working technologies allow it. 5. It will extend the production of semi-finished concrete and wood for the purpose of their use instead of unprocessed wood assortments. 6. The Ministry of Forestry Economy and Construction Materials together with the other central state stakeholders will take steps to review and update state standards and departmental and enterprise internal rules. the wood exploitation and processing industry. The influences arising from the reduction of the volume of wood mass will be considered at the five-year and annual plans. VI. Material base development In order to provide the necessary material basis for the forest fund development tasks, in the five-year five-1980, the following measures will be taken 1. Investment funds (Annex no. 17), necessary for the development of the forest fund managed by the Ministry of Forest Economy and Construction Materials, will be used as follows: 64% for reforestation and afforestation, including those that will be executed on non-productive land located in present in the agricultural fund; 17% for the correction of torrents from the forest fund and other approved perimeters, as well as for the protection of the facilities in the river basins; 7% for forest facilities and constructions, products accessories; 9% for machinery, 3% for housing, education and research. 2. The execution of reforestation and afforestation works in the forests under the direct administration of the communes will be financed from the communal forest fund, and those from the forests managed by the Central "Danube Delta", the Central Economic Office "Carpati" and state agricultural enterprises will finance themselves from the centralized investment funds allocated for this purpose. 3. Investment funds for the correction of torrents across the country will be ensured within the National Outlook Program for the arrangement of hydrographic basins in the Socialist Republic of Romania (Annex no. 18 18). VII. Forestry research and arrangement 1. In order to carry out the provisions of the program, the activity of scientific research and forest development must solve and apply as a priority, on the main forest areas, the following: -the creation, through selection, of new molid and pine forms that, besides the realization of a wood mass increase of 10-15%, will ensure the 4-8 percent increase in the papetary yield and by about 20% of the resin content necessary for the production of colophonium; amplifying the research of selection and improvement, through modern methods, of deciduous species and other softwood, in order to increase industrial efficiency, resistance to noxes and air purification capacity; -the development of the seminological basis, so that until around 1995 to ensure the entire necessary seeds and genetic afforestation material improved, for domestic needs and for the exchange of seeds from exotic sea species productivity with other countries; -development of improved technologies for the complex arrangement of torrential river basins in mountain areas and high hills and afforestation of degraded land; -establishing the areas favorable to the culture of exotic species of softwood and the expansion of native breeds, in order to increase their area in the forest fund by about 800 thousand hectares; -improving technologies for the restoration of poorly productive forests, under the conditions of environmental protection and their application on about 700 thousand hectares; -improvement of the methods and technologies for the establishment and care of 450 thousand hectares special crops for cellulose wood, to ensure an increase of 12-15 mc per year and hectare; -the improvement of the machine system, the elaboration and assimilation of new types of machinery and machinery necessary for the complex mechanization of forestry works; -improving the methods of preventing and combating forest pests, by replacing toxic pesticides, reducing the doses used and expanding the use of biopreparations; -the growth and improvement of the wine and salmoniculture effectives and the superior valorisation of the forest's accessories products; -development of technologies for the growth of silkworms on specially organized crops; -the annual redevelopment of an area of 650 thousand hectares forests, establishing the possibility of them according to the evolution of the size and structure of the resources, to organize more rationally the management of the forest fund, based on scientific research results; -increasing the contribution of the forest fund to the protection of the environment and improving the management of forestry activity through automatic data processing systems; -expansion of international cooperation in the fields of forest resources inventory, forest planning, creation of industrial species plantations. 2. For the improvement of activity, scientific research and forest planning will be organized integrated on 6 large forest areas, namely: Moldova, Cimpia Dunarii-Dobrogea, Carpatii-Subcarpatii sudici, Banat-Muresul inferior, Transilvania de North-West and South-East Transylvania (Annexes no. 19 19, 19.a and 20). Within each forest area will operate a branch that will solve all the problems of research and forest development in that area and will aim to generalize the results of scientific research in production. In each branch will operate-as subunits-research and landscaping resorts, profiled on area-specific issues, which will be provided forest areas from 500 to 20,000 hectares, nurseries, etc., to become model units. intensive management of the forest fund within their range of activity. In this way the entire staff of research and forest planning will operate within the 6 large forest areas. The guidance, control and coordination of the research, design and forestry arrangement, at the level of the branch, as well as the connection with the General Inspectorate of Forestry, the National Council for Science and Technology and the Academy of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences will be made by the Institute of Forest Research and Design, grafted on Stefanesti Branch within the Danube-Dobrogea Cimpia area. VIII. Preparing frameworks In order to raise the professional level of technical staff, corresponding to the degree of intensive forest management, the following measures will be taken: 1. The preparation of new forests will continue to be done through forestry high schools. Until the full coverage of the staff is covered, their training will continue to be possible through vocational schools. For rangers who have a minimum of 5 years of experience and have been schooled by qualification courses of 3-6 months, measures will be taken to complete their training by the end of 1979, so that the total duration of their qualification will be or at least 9 months. 2. Recruitment of candidates for vocational schools and forestry high schools will be done, by forestry units, by concluding contracts. At the entrance exam in the forestry education of all grades will be organized the testing of the candidate's skills for the future profession. At the same time, the education programs will be improved, with a special emphasis on increasing the share of practical works. Since, until now, students of the Faculty of Forestry have come 75% from real and humanistic high schools, in the future candidates for the Faculty of Forestry will be recruited, mainly, from the ranks of high school graduates. Forestry. 3. For the continuous lifting of the professional level of field forestry personnel, the current system of theoretical and practical training at work will be perfected-two days per month at forest ocoals and two days per quarter at the inspectorates county forest-through the mandatory participation of researchers and teachers, the exposure of topical problems, the execution of practical works in common, the analysis of the results obtained in the experimental surfaces installed at the level cantons and forest brigades, so that integration is also ensured on this path research and education in the production activity. IX. Improvement of forestry management and state forestry inspection In order to ensure the achievement of the objectives and the complex tasks provided in the program, as well as to strengthen the discipline and order that must exist in their realization, the following measures will be taken: 1. The Forest Fund Council will be established, consisting of specialists from production, research, design and education, management staff from the Ministry of Forestry and Construction Materials and other ministries and central institutions. what have contingency with forest fund management. The Council will respond to the ensemble of measures for the conservation and development of the forest fund, will propose the optimal volume of wood mass that can be cut according to the program and will ensure the necessary measures for strict compliance with forest rules and forest exploitation. The Council shall periodically review and control how the provisions of the programme are carried out, setting out measures for its implementation, and shall report to the Party and State leadership on the results achieved. 2. In order to ensure a unified management and control regime, both in the forests managed by the units of the Ministry of Forestry and Construction Materials, as well as in the communal ones, of the "Danube Delta" state, as well as other units, the entire forest personnel of forest holders outside the system of the Ministry of Forest Economy and Construction Materials will also be subordinate to forest-detour and county inspectorate units-on whose The range is located. The forestry units of the Ministry of Forestry and Construction Materials will control how the provisions of the forest management laws and rules apply in the forests under the direct administration of other holders, as well as in the land with forest vegetation outside the forest fund, and will take the necessary measures. 3. All afforestation works outside the forest fund managed by the Ministry of Forest Economy and Construction Materials units will be executed only with seedlings of the species recommended by the forestry bodies, with technical assistance and under their guidance. 4. Cutting trees from forest vegetation located outside the forest fund can be done, according to the law, only with the approval of forestry bodies, regardless of the nature of the property-state, cooperative or individual. 5. In order to ensure effective measures to defend forests and hunting and fish funds, it will intensify the collaboration with the organs of the Ministry of Interior, for the organization of joint actions regarding the security of goods, prevention, discovery and sanctioning of contraventions and crimes, movement of wood material, operation of log flow facilities, fire prevention, ensuring order and tranquility in the forest. The forestry bodies will request the support of the Ministry of Interior's bodies and will inform them periodically and whenever there is a need for this activity. In their turn, the organs of the Ministry of Interior will signal the aspects they consider useful in support of forestry activity. The way of working between these organs will be determined by the two ministries. 6. Preventive controls carried out by forestry bodies to remove deviations from forest management regulations, strict observance of deadlines and times of cutting and removal of material will be intensified. wood from forests by operating units, preventing illegal logging of trees and others. In order to develop the responsibility of forestry personnel to the perimeter in which they operate and for the purpose of approaching the workplace, it will continue the arrangement, as cantons, of some chalets of workers from exploits and roads forest, and where necessary, new premises will be built. 7. It will improve the telephone-radio communication system within the forestry units by equipping them with such devices. 8. In order to liquidate the deviations that are committed to the cutting of wood in timber in installations outside the units of the Ministry of Forestry and Construction Materials, it will develop, together with the other central bodies interested, in the course of 1976, a draft normative act to improve the modality of the establishment and operation of the respective installations. 9. The grazing in forests will be admitted by forestry bodies only where it does not bring damage, with strict observance of forest protection rules; in forest areas, in which grazing is prohibited, grass harvesting will only be allowed in the conditions laid down by the forestry rules. 10. Public traffic in forests will thus be regulated so that they do not suffer from hikers. Depending on the needs will be established areas for pedestrian access and some forest roads will be closed through barriers. 11. Within the works of systematization of localities, through the care of executive committees of popular councils, state organizations, cooperatives and other public organizations, as well as individuals, will plant hedges on some portions of roads and main streets, in order to reduce noises, detain dust and achieve proper aesthetics. X. Population participation in forest protection and care For the education of working people in the spirit of care, love and respect for the forest-one of the most important national wealth-, the popularization of the social and economic importance of the forest, the formation of a conservation-friendly mass opinion and its defence to all citizens of the country and, in particular, to educate students and youth, the following measures will be taken: 1. Annual will be organized "Forest Month", between March and April, in relation to local climatic conditions, by the Ministry of Forestry and Construction Materials, with the contest of the Ministry of Education and Education, of the Union The Communist Youth and the executive boards and executive offices of the popular councils. Within this action will be ensured a wide participation of students, youth and other categories of citizens in afforestation works, ensuring that every citizen of the country, aged from 7 to 60 years, will plant annually, on average, the one A little brood. It will also ensure participation in works in nurseries, forest care and cleaning, forest protection against pests and others. 2. The offices and, as the case may be, the executive committees of the communal, city and municipal folk councils that hold communal forests will ensure-through the forestry management committees-the participation of the population, according to the law, to the realization of the works Forestry, in the forests they manage. 3. In schools of all grades, forestry specialists will present lectures on the social and economic importance of the forest, its contribution to the protection of the environment, the attitude towards the forest and other such themes. In general schools to organize circles of "Friends of the Forest". 4. Permanent and sustained actions will be organized to inform the broad masses-through the press, radio and television-on the role of the forest and the need to protect it, on the activity carried out in the management of the forest fund. 5. The Ministry of Forestry Economy and Construction Materials will take measures, together with the other central bodies interested, for the editing of books, textbooks, conferences, leaflets, posters. Also, in order to stimulate those who have highlighted themselves in the actions of protection and care of forests, they will be able to grant badges. XI. Program efficiency The achievement of the objectives and tasks provided in the program will have a multiple efficiency, both in terms of exercising the physical and social protection functions of the forest, as well as economically. Of these effects, the main ones are: -substantial increase of forest intake to environmental protection-conservation of water resources, regularization of runoff on slopes, preservation of natural beauties, improvement of climate factors-, to the aggressor and recreation population; -improvement of the structure of the forest fund-composition, age classes, location and nature of cuts-, productive capacity and sanitary condition; -increase of the volume of annual exploitation, at the level of 2010, by about 30% compared to the average of 1976-1980, as a result of the increase of the forest possibility; in the same period the volume of rasinous will increase by 60-70%. By applying, and after 2010, the measures proposed in the program, it is assessed that, after the passage of a production cycle, the forest fund will be able to ensure the exploitation of a volume of 32-35 million mc, that is 50-60 percent more than in the year 1976-1980 1976-1980; -increasing the value contribution from other activities and resources than the wood mass-products accessories of the forest, vinatorești and fish and others-within the forestry production (Annex no. 21 21); -bringing back to the economic circuit, through afforestation, important areas of degraded land and avoiding the damage they bring to the national economy. The living transposition of the measures contained in the program will ensure a significant increase in the contribution of forestry to continuous improvement of the environment, to satisfy in better conditions the multiple needs of our society, to development of national economy __________ Note *. The Annexes shall be communicated to interested institutions. -----------
