24.0.1. The Minister may issue to any person, if he considers it expedient, a forest management permit for the harvest of a specified volume of shrubs or half-shrubs, or of branches from shrubs or half-shrubs, to supply a wood processing plant.
The permit authorizes its holder to harvest, in a given area, a specified volume of shrubs, half-shrubs or branches from one or several species and, where applicable, to carry out the other forest management activities indicated in the permit.
Where the permit authorizes the harvest in a management unit covered by a timber supply and forest management agreement or forest management agreement, or in a forest area covered by a forest management contract, the Minister must beforehand have consulted the agreement or contract holder concerned.
The permit shall indicate the authorized volume for each species or group of species and specify the processing plant to be supplied.
The Minister may include in the permit any condition considered advisable by the Minister.
