Description

One of the group's foremost objectives and challenges is to stimulate and facilitate communications among researchers and practitioners responsible for forest law and environmental legislation in European countries, not only, but in particular those with economies in transition. 

In order to accomplish this target, this IUFRO International Symposium will be held: 

  • to create the opportunity for specialists from different countries, to get acquainted, involved and familiar with the new legal situation in European forests; 
  • to provide a forum to everyone from the European CIT involved in forest law and environmental legislation, intended to exchange experiences in formulation, implementation and administration of their new forest and forest related laws; 
  • to make possible a comparison between the new EU and CIT legislation in the field mentioned; 
  • to encourage and support an overall discussion on open questions and impending problems to be identified during this meeting.
