International experience in development of timber tracking systemsENPI FLEG
The document provides an overview of timber tracking systems used internationally. It describes systems used in several tropical timber exporting countries as well as some European countries. For the tropical countries, it outlines timber tracking systems that are state-mandated and aim to monitor timber flows from harvest to processing. These systems use a mix of individual log identification methods like tagging alongside balance-based monitoring of timber volumes. The systems described aim to establish oversight and legality across international supply chains for timber trade.
Analysis of legislation and practice of hunting in some EU countriesENPI FLEG
This document provides a summary of the legal hunting framework in EU countries. Key points include:
1) Hunting is primarily regulated by the EU Birds Directive (1979) and Habitats Directive (1992) which member states must comply with.
2) International conventions like CITES, CMS, and the Bern Convention also influence hunting policy.
3) The EU has established guidelines for sustainable hunting practices and collects hunting statistics to monitor bird populations.
4) Sustainable hunting is supported through the Natura 2000 protected areas network, involving hunters in habitat and species management.

1. Региональная конференция Всемирного банка по проблемам
ФЛЕГ «Укрепление и развитие сотрудничества в области
правоприменения и управления в лесном секторе» (13-14
июля 2010 года) в Кишиневе (Молдова)
В. Сураппаева
Процесс ФЛЕГ в Кыргызстане
2. История процесса ФЛЕГ в Кыргызстане
В 2005 году Кыргызстан присоединился к процессу ENA
FLEG на Международной министерской конференции,
которая прошла в Санкт-Петербурге. В результате были
приняты два Международных документа –
Министерская декларация и Индикативный план
действий. На основании этих документов Кыргызстан
принял на себя обязательства разработать свою систему
борьбы с правонарушениями в лесном секторе и принять
собственный Национальный план мер по усилению
правоприменения и управления в лесном секторе.
3. История процесса ФЛЕГ в Кыргызстане
В 2006 г. Правительство Кыргызской Республики
утвердила Национальный план действий развития
лесного хозяйства Кыргызской Республики на 2006-2010
годы, в котором определила проблему с незаконной
деятельностью лесного сектора как общенациональную
проблему и обязала разработать Национальный план
действий по правоприменению и управлению в лесном
секторе (ФЛЕГ), т.к. в борьбе с незаконной
деятельностью в лесном секторе должны участвовать и
государственные органы, и гражданское общество.
4. История процесса ФЛЕГ в Кыргызстане
С 2006 г. по 2007 г. при поддержки «Интеркооперейшн»
реализовался проект по разработке Национального плана
действий по правоприменению и управлению в лесном
секторе (ФЛЕГ). В рамках данного проекта разработан
первый проект Национального плана мер по усилению
правоприменения и управления в лесном секторе
Кыргызской Республики (НПМ).
Первый проект был подготовлен на базе анализа и оценки
мнений, полученных от всех заинтересованных лиц из
различных регионов страны о причинах лесных
правонарушений и возможных путях их преодоления.
Данный проект прошел широкое обсуждение и был
передан в Госагентство.
5. История процесса ФЛЕГ в Кыргызстане
Госагентством на основе первого проекта разработан
второй, были внесены изменения по структуре и
дополнены мероприятия по борьбе с браконьерством
растительного и животного мира, несоблюдение
требований природоохранного законодательства при
осуществлении хозяйственной и иной деятельности и др.
Второй проект Национального плана мер по ФЛЕГУ
прошел согласования 16 министерств и ведомств и
Правительство Кыргызской Республики утвердил
постановлением от 15 августа 2009 года N 534.
6. История процесса ФЛЕГ в Кыргызстане
Национальный план мер Кыргызстана поставил следующие
задачи по борьбе с незаконной деятельностью в лесном
секторе:
Задача 1. Усиление природоохранного и иного
законодательства.
Задача 2. Усиление системы лесоуправления.
Задача 3. Совершенствование системы учетных работ.
Задача 4. Совершенствование системы мониторинга.
Задача 5. Содействие развитию альтернативных
источников средств существования для населения лесной
зоны.
Задача 6. Повышение уровня информированности
общественности и заинтересованных сторон.
Задача 7. Развитие международного сотрудничества.
Задача 8. Обеспечение эффективного мониторинга и
оценки выполнения НПМ.
7. История процесса ФЛЕГ в Кыргызстане
В рамках каждой из вышеперечисленных задач
запланированы мероприятия.
Для исполнения постановления Правительства КР от 15
августа 2009 года N 534 и реализации НПД по ФЛЕГу,
Госагенством охраны окружающей среды и лесному
хозяйству утвержден План действия.
8. «Узкие места» реализации НПМ по ФЛЕГу
Несмотря на утвержденный Правительством КР
Национальный План Действия, не все мероприятия
реализовываются, т.к. при его реализации столкнулись
следующими трудностями, т.е. «узкими местами»:
отсутствие совместной программы партнерства по
реализации НПД заинтересованных сторон;
механизмы, методология и подходы реализации
мероприятий устарели;
потенциалы (знания) специалистов лесного хозяйства не
соответствуют современным требованиям;
существующее техническое оборудование устарела.
Таким образом, Кыргызстан нуждается в техническом
содействии реализации Национального Плана Действия
по ФЛЕГу.
9. Синергия заинтересованных сторон при
реализации НПМ по ФЛЕГу
Заинтересованные стороны в реализации НПД по ФЛЕГу в
Кыргызстане - государственные органы, местное
сообщество, научные и международные организации,
гражданское общество. Для синергии по
совершенствованию правоприменения и управления в
лесном секторе необходимо:
разработать совместную Программу партнерства, обучения
заинтересованных сторон;
создать рабочую группу из заинтересованных сторон по
мониторингу и оценке реализации НПД, разработать
механизмы мониторинга и оценки реализации НПД.
