DESCRIPTION OF THE POLICY INSTRUMENT

Targeting support for sustainable forestry (Kemera) at the planning and implementation of water protection structures, such as settlement ponds, flow regulation structures, overland flow fields and wetlands to the extent necessary.


STATE OF IMPLEMENTATION

Completed. (All the elements of the measure have been completed both in terms of time and at all planned locations. If a measure consists of an unlimited continuum of measures, a measure can be regarded as having been completed once the first sub-measure has been completed.)
