France sets aside 200 000 euros to compensate pine timber owners in two southwestern departments
France has created a compensation scheme for owners whose pine timber was held up by measures against the pine nematode, a pest that harms pine trees. The order, signed by ecology minister Monique Barbut and agriculture minister Annie Genevard, makes 200 000 euros available for Landes and Pyrénées-Atlantiques and sets out how to apply. Requests go to the local territories directorate where most of the affected wood was cut.
