The Government's policy of budget cuts has led to a systematic reduction in provision for forestry maintenance and monitoring activities, and for equipment and other resources for the forestry services, firefighters, Civil Guard, and national and local police forces, among others. Legal instruments approved by previous governments, such as the Law on the Sustainable Development of Rural Areas, the Forestry Law, or services which have proven effective such as the Military Emergency Response Unit, have thus been rendered ineffective.
Limpieza de los montes, vigilancia de los mismos, dotación de material y medios a los servicios forestales, bomberos, guardia civil, policía nacional y local, etc... han sido sistemáticamente degradados por la política de recortes presupuestarios, dejando sin efecto en la práctica instrumentos legales aprobados por los gobiernos anteriores, como la Ley de Desarrollo Sostenible del Medio Rural, la Ley de Montes o servicios de probada eficacia como la UME (Unidad Militar de Emergencia).not-set not-set
