Latvia's forest service finds no grounds to deny logging permits near Rucava

Latvia's State Forest Service (VMD) has issued a statement regarding logging permits granted for a territory near Rucava that is managed by the Forest Research Station (MPS). The agency told the LETA news agency that during its review process, it did not identify any restrictions or circumstances that would have prevented the issuance of the permits in question.

Agency's position

According to VMD, its decisions to grant the permits were based on the actual conditions found in the designated area, and no factors were found that would have served as grounds for refusal.

The original report does not provide further details on the size of the area involved, the types of trees affected, or the number of permits issued. It also does not specify the broader context or any objections that may have prompted VMD to issue this clarification.
