Question 15833 — woods and forests

Summary

Mr. Fabrice Brun draws the attention of the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to the use of all revenue from the “clearing tax”. The French forest code recognizes the general interest in the protection and development of woods and forests as well as reforestation within the framework of sustainable management. Clearing is strictly regulated and each holder of a clearing authorization must compensate an area cleared by afforestation or reforestation (article L. 341-6 of the forest code). If he is unable to carry out this reforestation, the owner must pay compensatory compensation paid to the strategic forest forest fund and mentioned in article L. 156-4 of the forest code. Since the 2014 law on the future of agriculture and food, the compensation must represent an “equivalent amount” to the work necessary for the reforestation. However, a ceiling, prior to the creation of the strategic fund (law no. 2011-1977 of December 28, 2011 on finances for 2012), contravenes this equivalence of amount and returns to the general State budget sums exceeding a product of 2 million euros. According to figures from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, the amount not paid into the strategic forest-wood fund is equivalent to 2 million euros in 2017. It requests to allocate these revenues in full to the strategic forest-wood fund, to the extent that the fund is intended for investments in forests, which make it possible to renew the forest producing a renewable wood material. It also recalls the role of the forest and its products in CO2 capture and carbon sequestration, all of which contribute to respecting the country's commitments to neutrality. carbon.
