“I think we must bring this to a conclusion. We have to make a decision, either positive or negative. We can’t keep the wood sector in limbo,” he said.
Viktoras Pranckietis, the speaker of the Seimas, has said that the reform bill will be put to a vote before the end of the Seimas’ extended spring session.
The government-approved reform plan calls for streamlining the management of state forests by merging the country’s 42 forestry enterprises into a single state enterprise named Lietuvos Valstybiniai Miškai (Lithuanian State Forests).
