I move amendment No. 7:


In page 8, line 11, after "afforestation" to insert "and timber production".
The primary reason for any private forest ownership is timber production. There is a difference between afforestation and timber production. I ask that this amendment be included to promote afforestation and timber production, as it clarifies the situation.
