The event brought together government officials of Krasnoyarsk Krai, law enforcement authorities, administrations of the districts of Krasnoyarsk Krai, NGOs, timber production business and forest certification experts.

It requires the preparation of about 5 new documents and changes in 10-15 others that will ensure the disclosure and regulatory strengthening of the ideas embodied in the federal law. Among them are the new rules of sanitary safety in forests, the procedure for forest pathology surveys and others.
