Overview of Legal Requirements
The Forest Code of 2008, modified in 2015, states that publicly owned forest areas cannot be subject to concession, with the exception of land that is currently under buildings that were sold by the National Forest Administration or was occupied by constructions built before 1990.
Description of risk
Practically, no publicly owned land covered by forest vegetation can be subject to concession: concession of forest resources is not a practice in Romania.
Risk conclusion
This indicator has been evaluated as low risk. Identified laws are upheld. Cases where law/regulations are violated are efficiently followed up by the authorities and/or by the relevant entities taking preventive actions.
