Russia (bbabo.net), - An electronic accompanying document for each shipment of timber is prescribed by amendments to the Forestry Code that entered into force on January 1.
To form it, the forest user just needs to enter the LesEGAIS system and fill in the fields of a special form. There it is necessary to indicate who, from where, how many and what kind of logs are carrying. Exactly the same information was previously written on a paper form.
"If there is no Internet on the logging site, the Lesegais Mobile application will help, it is available for both Android and iOS," said the head of the Federal Forestry Agency Ivan Sovetnikov. "You need to fill in the same simple fields. The application will generate a QR code for the driver just take a picture of it with your smartphone from the screen of the forest master's gadget. "
As soon as the gadget is in the network coverage area, all information will go to LesEGAIS. Then all control and supervisory authorities, as well as Rosleskhoz and the tax inspectorate will see how much timber has been harvested and where it went. When moving logs from the warehouse, you will need exactly the same electronic document.
On the way, any traffic police inspector or inspector, even without an Internet connection, will be able to check whether it is a valid QR code, compare the accounting data with the real cargo. If everything is in order, she wishes you a safe journey. If there are discrepancies, he will take the measures prescribed by law.
The system is technically ready, says Sovetnikov. However, just in case, all forest management spends the New Year holidays at their workplaces.
“If problems suddenly arise, we will apply plan B,” he explained. “The system is quite complicated, but we know which blocks can be temporarily disabled so that everything works in general, the flow of documents goes well. then they will connect everything back. "
The same amendments changed the rules of reforestation and afforestation. They relate to the use of seedlings and seedlings with a closed root system for reforestation and afforestation - such trees take root better in a new place. In addition, the obligation to replenish the felled trees can now be fulfilled by companies working in the forest, not in one year, but in three. This extension of the deadline has turned into a duty to look after the plantings.
According to the chief coordinator of the WWF-Russia forestry program Konstantin Kobyakov, seedlings and seedlings left unattended often die, it is more difficult for them to grow into large and even trees suitable for further harvesting.
