Wallonia equips itself with a permanent framework to strengthen the protection of its forests

By permanently enshrining in the Forestry Code the tools needed to prevent, monitor and manage health crises, Wallonia is equipping itself with a stable legal framework that responds more effectively to the challenges posed by climate change and the new threats to forest ecosystems. With this decree, Wallonia is changing its approach. It no longer creates an exceptional regime with every new crisis. It writes into the Forestry Code a permanent framework allowing risks to be anticipated, swift action to be taken when the situation demands it, and the actors concerned to be supported.

Making it easier to combine private and professional life

In practice, working time is no longer calculated week by week but spread over the whole year. These are known as “accordion” schedules: employees work more during busy periods and ease off when things are quieter. SMEs in particular see this as a real breath of fresh air, allowing them to match staffing to periods of high demand.
