| Abstract | The government monitoring of the federally-owned forest resources of the Russian Federation had been insufficient till 2014. The government did not have efficient instruments to combat illegal logging and trade in illegally produced timber. Federal Law 415-FZ "On Amendments to the Forest Code of the Russian Federation and the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation" as of 28.12.2013 is aimed at combating illegal timber sales. The law puts into effect timber accounting implemented through acquisition, analysis, verification and processing of the data submitted to the Unified State Automated Information System (USAIS). Having been gradually put into operation, the system provides complete record-keeping of timber harvesting, transportation and sales; monitors the taxation of logging operators, timber producers and exporters, thus contributing to increased fiscal revenues; provides information to related supervisory authorities; improves transparency and performance of the national forest sector. |
