The EFI made the plea after it produced a report on harmonisation among stakeholders, such as forest owners, visitors, hunters, and communities.
A spokesperson said: “The results show a clear separation between restrictions, which pertain to timber resources and silviculture management, and those relating to non-timber production and public access.
“The beneficiaries of protected forest areas are local although not the forest owners, whereas less strictly protected areas benefit a larger number of people.”
