Illegal logging – evaluation of EU rules (fitness check)
Fitness Check of the Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) and the EU Timber Regulations
Initiative summary:
Illegal logging is the harvesting of wood in violation of national laws. It is a global problem with significant economic, social and environmental impact. The EU has two key legal acts to fight illegal logging: • the forest law enforcement, governance and trade regulation and • the EU timber regulation. This fitness check will examine how these regulations have worked globally, how effective, efficient, relevant and consistent are, and whether they usefully supplement national efforts.
