Forest protection through criminal law. Aspects of comparative criminal law

Summary/Abstract: The forestry development strategy for the period 2001-2010 was aimed, among others, at harmonizing the national laws of the Member States with the specific European Union legislation, and the international conventions and agreements (Europe and North Asia Forest Law Enforcement and Governance, Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade Action Plan and Fourth Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forests in Europe -Vienna Declaration 2003), as well as adapting the regulatory framework for logging and wood-processing operations, taking into account the environmental protection and preservation requirements. The E.U. has established forestry policies, strategies and organizational structures regulating the protection and development of forests, to which the Member States have to adapt their forest management and development policies.
