Response from the competent authority: '1.In 2012, a working group was appointed at
  the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment to prepare amendments to the Forest
  Act. Work has already been carried out in several sub-groups during the past year,
  including the sub-group for the preparation of amendments in the areas of forest
  management and silvicultural planning, forest function evaluation and designation
  of special purpose forests. The group adopted a common starting point and a draft
  of possible amendments for the preparation of all forest management plans, which
  is as follows: - forest development should be guided by the principles of sustainability,
  multifunctionality and sustainability; - rational approaches should be developed
  in all phases of management (plan-implementation-management-change/improvement);
  - forest management plans should be hierarchically linked (strategic/implementation
  level), complement each other and be based on good quality data. - the intensity
  of planning must be adapted to the intensity of forest management, allowing adaptation
  to natural processes and the different functions of forests; - planning must ensure
  integration of forestry with other sectors; - forest owners and other interested
  publics must be actively involved in the planning process; - the ''usability'' of
  the plans must be significantly improved.Concrete proposals for changes at all levels
  of planning have also emerged, which are very similar to your proposal. To ensure
  greater efficiency and quality of planning, the existing planning levels have been
  identified as appropriate, but the content, scope and inter-linkages between the
  plans at each level are fundamentally changing. We are aware that the current concept
  of preparing forest management plans for all forests has been a major time-consuming
  task for the public forestry service, and this is where the most significant changes
  are expected. In future, planning at the lowest (implementation) level will be fully
  tailored to the intensity of management, the form of ownership and the functions
  of the forests. We expect to present a draft comprehensive solution or changes to
  forest management planning already this year.2.Proposals for the introduction of
  a specific plan for forest tenure have also been discussed within the above-mentioned
  group, but no final decision has been taken yet. 2.In the context of the above-mentioned
  group, the introduction of a specific plan for forest tenure has been discussed,
  but no final decision has been taken. However, the plans, which would be drawn up
  as part of the public forestry service''s remit, would certainly be intended to
  provide basic information and a set of measures for each forest owner, as we are
  aware that it is planning at the implementation level that most forest owners need,
  and that this is a good instrument for intensifying forest management. The content
  of the forest estate plan and its possible integration into the forest management
  planning system will be discussed in the coming months.3. 4.We propose the introduction
  of the carrier in the Act on the amendment and supplementation of the Forest Act,
  which is in the process of being adopted by the Government of the Republic of Slovenia;
  this amendment maintains the free marking of trees for felling."'
