Forest owners reproach the public administration for three things: unacceptable practices in the indirect expropriation of property rights without engaging the forest owner in a proper communication process, as stipulated by European Commission recommendations; an unjust compensation mechanism that fails to provide fair recompense for restrictions imposed in the public interest; and a lack of state policy regarding the conservation of priority threatened and rare species, as well as the absence of an appropriate regulatory framework for dispersedly nesting protected bird species.
Since the number of micro-reserves established on private properties has risen rapidly over the last three years, there has been an increase in forest owners' dissatisfaction and bewilderment regarding how the state determines the protection procedures for rare and threatened species and what the compensation mechanism is for significant restrictions on property rights.
