Abstract

Illegal actions in the forest industry have a significant impact on national economic security, creating economic, environmental and social threats. In this regard, the authors conducted a study of the specifics of illegal activities regarding wood. Based on the analysis of statistical data on the number of crimes classified at the legislative level as ecological and illegal logging, the authors come to the following conclusion. The general trend to reduce the number of environmental crimes does not have a significant impact on the formation of a trend line for the number of crimes by the type of «illegal logging» under Art. 260 of the Criminal Code, the number of which remains at the level of 15 years ago. This indicates the sustainability of the threat to industry economic security. In addition, on the basis of an analysis of existing legislation and also the practice of compensation for damage from illegal actions related to logging, an organizational and economic mechanism for identifying and eliminating the consequences of illegal activities in the forest was developed and proposed, the difference of which is the application of an integrated approach to wood verification and the organization of interagency cooperation in the formation and use of data in the EGAIS-forest system at the territorial level.
