Proposal for a
DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
amending Council Decision 89/367/EEC setting up a Standing Forestry Committee
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL
•Reasons for and objectives of the proposal
On 29 May 1989, the Council adopted Council Decision 89/367/EEC setting up a Standing Forestry Committee 1 , in order to ensure closer and more constant cooperation in the forestry sector between the Member States and the Commission, and thereby support forestry measures initiated under the European Economic Community’s agricultural structure and rural development policy (Article 1).
The Standing Forestry Committee is composed of representatives of the Member States and is chaired by a representative of the Commission (Article 3).
In 2019, the Commission established the Working Group Forest and Nature, a sub-group of the Coordination Group for Biodiversity and Nature. The main objective of the Working Group is to provide advice and expertise to the Commission to help implement and evaluate, in relation to forest ecosystems and their management, the European Green Deal, the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and related actions and the post 2020 UN Convention for Biological Diversity framework. In the New EU Forest Strategy for 2030 2 , the Commission took the view that ‘the wider contribution of forests to the European Green Deal objectives, as presented in the Strategy, including for climate, biodiversity and sustainable bioeconomy, necessitates a more inclusive and better coordinated EU forest governance structure, reflecting all the objectives of the new EU Forest Strategy and their interlinkages. Reinforced coordination of different policies should be ensured and a multidisciplinary exchange should be facilitated, with the involvement of a wide variety of experts and stakeholders. Given the increasing interest of the European public in the future of EU’s forests, transparency of the governance should also be guaranteed so that everyone can follow how the Commission and the Member States are assisted in delivering on the objectives of the New EU Forest Strategy.’
As part of this new governance structure, the Commission proposes to amend Council Decision 89/367/EEC through a decision of the European Parliament and of the Council. The Commission proposes to amend Council Decision 89/367/EEC to update the legal bases and the policy references, to rename the Standing Forestry Committee, and to extend its tasks. The proposed decision would also clarify its membership to ensure that the Member States’ authorities that are competent for the different policy objectives of the New EU Forest Strategy for 2030, including climate, forest health, environment, forestry, rural development and bioeconomy, and any subsequent Union Forest Strategies, are part of this group.
•Consistency with existing policy provisions in the policy area
The proposed amendments are fully consistent with the New EU Forest Strategy, specifically as regards a new governance that reflects all the objectives of the New EU Forest Strategy and their interlinkages, in line with the increased climate and biodiversity ambition set in the European Green Deal.
•Consistency with other European Union policies
This proposal is consistent with, and contributes to, the implementation of the European Green Deal objectives, the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, the New EU Forest Strategy for 2030, the common agricultural policy and the Fit for 55 package.
2.LEGAL BASIS, SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY
•Legal basis
The proposal is based on Articles 43 and 192(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. Both articles provide for the application of the ordinary legislative procedure.
• Subsidiarity (for non-exclusive competence)
The new governance aims at promoting effective coordination between the Commission and the Members States, in full compliance with their respective competences in the field of forests and forestry and with the subsidiarity principle.
The Treaties do not explicitly mention ‘forest policy’, but the EU has a range of competences that may relate to forests such as climate, environment, rural development and disaster prevention. The EU has already exercised these competences and forests are covered by a number of legal acts. Within these areas of shared EU competence, forests and forestry do not fall within the Member States’ exclusive competence.
The New EU Forest Strategy for 2030 aims to overcome challenges that affect forests and forestry (e.g. climate change, biodiversity loss, etc.) and unlock the potential of forests for our future, in full respect for the principle of subsidiarity. The Commission works closely with the Member States to implement the Strategy.
•Proportionality
The proposal does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve the objectives of ensuring reinforced cooperation and multidisciplinary exchange of views between the Commission and the Member States on forests and the forestry sector. The most effective way of achieving a more inclusive and better coordinated EU forest governance structure is to amend Council Decision 89/367/EEC, in order to broaden the scope and clarify the tasks and the composition of the Standing Forestry Committee, as well as to rename it, in order to reflect those amendments.
The administrative burden for the EU and the Member States is limited -as Member States are already members of the Standing Forestry Committee and they nominate their representatives- and does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve the objectives of the proposal, as Member States will ensure participation of the authorities that are competent for the different policy objectives of the New EU Forest Strategy for 2030.
•Choice of the instrument
The proposed instrument is a proposal for a decision of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Decision 89/367/EEC of 29 May 1989 that set up a Standing Forestry Committee.
This proposal reflects the need to amend Council Decision 89/367/EEC of 29 May 1989 and make it fully consistent with the New EU Forest Strategy regarding a new forest governance.
3.RESULTS OF EX POST EVALUATIONS, STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATIONS AND IMPACT ASSESSMENTS
•Stakeholder consultations
The proposal would amend the Council Decision 89/367/EEC that set up the Standing Forestry Committee, that is a Member States’ consultative group. It will update and clarify the mandate and tasks of the group and rename it. The update of the forest governance system was announced in the New EU Forest Strategy for 2030. No stakeholders are directly concerned because only Member States’ representatives can be members of the group.
• Impact assessment
No impact assessment is needed because the proposal is not expected to have any significant economic, social or environmental impact. It derives from the Commission’s commitment in the New EU Forest Strategy for 2030 to update the forest governance system. The Commission proposes to update Council Decision 89/367/EEC of 29 May 1989 setting up a Standing Forest Committee (a group composed of Member States representatives) through a decision of the European Parliament and of the Council.

Proposal for a
DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
amending Council Decision 89/367/EEC setting up a Standing Forestry Committee
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43 and Article 192(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee 3 ,
Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions 4 ,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure,
Whereas:
(1)Council Decision 89/367/EEC 5 set up a Standing Forestry Committee, in order to ensure closer and more constant cooperation in the forestry sector between the Member States and the Commission and thereby support forestry measures initiated under the Union’s agricultural and the rural development policy.
(2)The wider contribution of forests to the objectives set out in the Commission Communication of 11 December 2019 entitled ‘the European Green Deal’ 6 , including to climate, biodiversity and sustainable bioeconomy necessitates a more inclusive and better coordinated Union forest governance structure that reflects all the objectives of the Commission Communication of 16 July 2021 entitled ‘New EU Forest Strategy for 2030’ 7 and their interlinkages.
(3)The experience and expertise of the Standing Forestry Committee and the Working Group on Forest and Nature on issues concerning forests and forestry arising from various Union policies are important for the wider contribution of forests and forestry to key Union objectives and initiatives, such as the European Green Deal and the new EU Forest Strategy, and to promoting coherence and synergies between the Union and Member States’ policies relevant to forests and forestry.
(4)The most effective way of achieving a more inclusive and better coordinated Union forest governance structure is to broaden the scope and clarify the tasks and the composition of the Standing Forestry Committee.. The Standing Forestry Committee should also be renamed as the Standing Forest and Forestry Expert Group, in order to reflect those amendments. At the request of the Commission or of a Member State, it should address any issue or aspect concerning forests and forestry arising from various Union policies. It is therefore appropriate to ensure that Member States nominate representatives from the authorities that are competent for the specific policy objectives.
(5)Decision 89/367/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly,

1.5. Grounds for the proposal/initiative
1.5.1. Requirement(s) to be met in the short or long term including a detailed timeline for roll-out of the implementation of the initiative
The Commission proposes to amend Council Decision 89/367/EEC of 29 May 1989 through a decision of the European Parliament and of the Council to reflect the new governance of the New EU Forest Strategy for 2030. The Commission proposes to update the legal bases, the policy references and broaden the tasks of the Standing Forestry Committee and rename it to Standing Forest and Forestry Expert Group. The proposal would also clarify and extend the Expert Group’s membership, ensuring that Member State authorities which are competent for the subjects addressed are part of this group.
1.5.2. Added value of Union involvement (it may result from different factors, e.g. coordination gains, legal certainty, greater effectiveness or complementarities). For the purposes of this point 'added value of Union involvement' is the value resulting from Union intervention, which is additional to the value that would have been otherwise created by Member States alone.
A governance structure involving Member States experts to advise the Commission can only be ensured by EU-level action.
The Treaties do not explicitly mention ‘forest policy’, but the EU has a range of competences that may relate to forests such as climate, environment, rural development and disaster prevention. The EU has already exercised these competences, and forests are covered by a number of legal texts. Within these areas of shared EU competences, forests and forestry do not fall within the exclusive competence of Member States.
The New EU Forest Strategy aims to overcome challenges that affect forests and forestry (e.g. climate change, biodiversity loss, etc.) and unlock the potential of forests for our future, in full respect for the principle of subsidiarity. The Commission will work closely with the Member States for the implementation of the New EU Forest Strategy. The most effective way of achieving a more inclusive and better coordinated EU forest governance structure is to broaden the scope and clarify the tasks of the Standing Forestry Committee, and to rename it to reflect these amendments. It will be composed of relevant competent authorities of the Member States responsible for the policy sectors referred to in the New EU Forest Strategy and will be chaired by a representative of the Commission.
1.5.3. Lessons learned from similar experiences in the past
The Standing Forestry Committee was set up with Decision 89/367/EEC in order to ensure closer and more constant cooperation in the forestry sector between the Member States and the Commission, and thereby support forestry measures initiated under the European Economic Community’s agricultural structure and rural development policy. The wider contribution of forests to the European Green Deal objectives, as presented in the New EU Forest Strategy, including for climate, biodiversity and sustainable bioeconomy, necessitates a more inclusive and better coordinated EU forest governance structure, reflecting all the objectives of the New EU Forest Strategy and their interlinkages. The most effective way of achieving a more inclusive and better coordinated EU forest governance structure is to broaden the scope and clarify the tasks and the composition of the Standing Forestry Committee. The Standing Forestry Committee should also be renamed in order to reflect those amendments.
