MINSK, 19 February (BelTA) – A digital system to record all transactions involving timber will be gradually adopted in Belarus in 2021, BelTA from Belarusian Forestry Minister Vitaly Drozhzha at a press conference on 19 February.
The official said: “We came up with a model for the system and corrected some errors after that. We had to find another contractor. We found a company that fully complies with our requirements. The project is moving forward successfully, a pilot system is already available. Virtually all the issues relating to the incorrect operation of the system have been addressed. We will have to submit the system to a security certification test as from September. We are going to gradually adopt the system next year.”
