According to Vyacheslav Spirenkov, Deputy Head of the Press Service of the Federal Forestry Service (Rosleskhoz), this functional innovation is mainly intended to limit unscrupulous users in forest harvesting and transportation. "While these unscrupulous forest users have previously taken timber from logging sites in excess of the limit, this will no longer be the case from May 17.
