"Taxes on the exploitation of forests and fisheries resources and mining are calculated by the competent ministries and enacted by parliament through the yearly finance law. These taxes are for quantities of resources exploited and not for environmental degradation caused by these activities. However, the Forestry Law and the Framework Law, this time, make provisions for special taxes for forest regeneration and development through a Forest Development Fund, still to be operational.
