The Regional Act lays down particular provisions for implementing Act No. 440 of 1978 in matter of reallotment of abandoned and uncultivated lands, with a view to achieving the full and proper use of agricultural lands. The Regional Act consists of fourteen articles. Article 2 sets out the criteria intended to determine lands insufficiently cultivated falling within the regional territory. The Regional Council shall establish which zones are to be considered abandoned or uncultivated, taking into account the safeguarding of hydrogelogical balances and environmental protection requirements. The Regional Council shall therefore determine the abandoned or uncultivated lands on the basis of the socioeconomic development plans elaborated by Mountain Communities and agricultural plans. The Provinces are in charge of the census and classification of abandoned and uncultivated lands (art. 5). Such lands shall be realloted in accordance with article 6 and by giving priority to farming enterprises and cooperatives.
