Objective:
The Decree-Law nº 181/2015, defines the legal regime for the resin activity and circulation of pine resin in Continental Portugal. The regime requires prior notification to the Portuguese Institute for Nature Conservation and Forestry (ICNF) of resin tapping, resin import and export, resin transportation and storage and resin used by 1st transformation industry. The communication is made online through the Resin Information System (SiResin): |
Context:
The SiResin allows the registration of the resin operators: forest owner, resin worker, or others that have activity in the resin commercialization circuit. It is also possible to declare estimates of resin yield for each of the resin activities. SiResin is confidential and free of charges. With the information collected by SiResin, it is possible to produce statistical information that is important to ensure the transparency of the resin marketing chain and to improve the knowledge of the economic agents of the resin sector. This information can also be used to support decision-making. |
