State Management of the Forestry Complex: Current Situation and Main Challenges

Abstract

Economic crisis aggravated existing problems of timber processing industry and made evident the need for full scale regulatory changes. This article is intended to provide a review and analysis of all existing timber complex administration systems, to bring to the light fundamental problems of regulation and to propose recommendations for improvement.
The research showed up a disengagement of the two basic parts of timber processing, problems of authority distribution in the public sector, limitations of the timber resources access mechanism that is envisaged in legislation and economic problems of the industry.
The research provided recommendations regarding the ways to improve the regulation system including the formation of an institutional framework to coordinate industry players, optimization of authority distribution in the public sector, development of timber resources access mechanisms, improvement of the payment system for timber usage.
