1.2.2 Revising the <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />

Art. 60 (3) of the Protected Areas Act require that a public hearing be held every four<br />

years of the implementation of the <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>; such a public hearing is to be<br />

organized by MOEW.<br />

The staff of the <strong>Park</strong> Directorate, in conjunction with the members of the Consultative<br />

Council involved in their implementation, are required to prepare a review of the<br />

projects implemented starting with the first up until the fourth year since the entry<br />

into force of the <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>, to assess the continued appropriateness of the<br />

operational goals and to prepare proposals for updating them, or for making<br />

corrections or launching new programs and projects, depending on the changed<br />

operational objectives. The entire information is then summarized by the Director of<br />

the <strong>Nature</strong> <strong>Park</strong> and is submitted to CC for review. The Consultative Council then<br />

discusses the information presented and, where necessary, makes proposals for<br />

changes in the <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>.<br />

Discussed and approved, the report on the results of the implementation of the<br />

<strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> over the four-year period and the updated management objectives,<br />

together with a proposal regarding the plans and projects for the next 4-year period<br />

are submitted to the Director to the National Forestry Board and MOEW no less than<br />

40 days prior to the scheduled public hearing.<br />

Once every four years the Directorate, supported by CC, reviews and approves the<br />

methods for the attainment of the operational objectives, i.e. of the strategies for the<br />

implementation of the <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>. During the public hearings, changes may be<br />

introduced in the strategies for attaining the operational goals.<br />

1.3 The ten-year <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> update<br />

Pursuant to Art. 55 (2) of the Protected Areas Act, the <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> is to be<br />

thoroughly updated once every ten years.<br />

In the beginning of the ninth year, following the second fourth-year review of the<br />

<strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> and the respective public hearing, a planning process is to begin for<br />

drawing up a <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> for the next ten-year period. The said planning<br />

process should comply with the provisions of the then applicable legislation.<br />
