The agreement was concluded in connection with the new Forest Act that entered into force on 1 January and makes RMK the manager of state forests located in the Defence Forces’ training areas.
Leping sõlmiti seoses 1. jaanuarist jõustunud uue metsaseadusega, mis määrab kaitsejõudude harjutusväljadel asuva riigimetsa majandajaks RMK.
