It must be evidenced in a prior agreement, approved by the Minister on the conditions he may determine, between the agreement holder and the person to whom financing is granted for the carrying out of the activities. The prior agreement must provide for, in particular, the establishment of an activity plan, the costs of carrying out such activities and their sources of financing as well as a report approved by a forest engineer in the case of forest management activities or, in any other case, by a professional designated by the Minister, on the activities carried out in the year.
