The Council of Ministers decrees to prohibit burial and incineration of merchantable wood in the process of deforestation at the reclamation construction sites, and also in the process of carrying out amelioration on land not requiring drainage. At the amelioration sites deforestation for the purpose of channel and road construction shall be carried out by amelioration organizations and the extracted timber shall be transferred to the logging enterprises for the purpose of subsequent trade. Deforestation, if it is envisaged by the project, shall be carried out by the amelioration organizations after the drainage of forested areas.
