  • EU FLEGT Action Plan
    EU FLEGT Action Plan FLEGT = Forest Law Enforcement Governance and Trade 1. What is the EU FLEGT Action Plan? The EU FLEGT Action Plan is a set of measures adopted by the EU in 2003 for both EU and timber producer countries to fight illegal logging worldwide and promote Sustainable Forest Management. The measures focus on 7 broad areas: Note that people commonly talk about “FLEGT” referring to measure n°2 only - Voluntary Partnership Agreements (VPAs). In reality, FLEGT includes much more than only VPAs! 2. Voluntary Partnership Agreements (VPAs) VPAs are legally binding bilateral agreements between the European Union and timber exporting countries, which aim to guarantee that the wood exported to the EU is from legal sources and to support exporting countries in improving their own regulation and governance of the forestry sector. 2.1. Legality Assurance System (LAS) At the centre of each VPA is a Legality Assurance System (LAS). Its function is to identify, monitor and license legally produced timber, and ensure that only legal timber is exported to the European Union. A robust LAS consists of five key elements: Nr Element Commonly simplified as Features 1 Clear definition of legal timber VPA legality standard or • outlines legislative and regulatory requirements to be FLEGT legality checklist systematically fulfilled and verified before a FLEGT license can be issued (“Grille de légalité”) • development involves many stakeholders (industry, NGOs etc.) to ensure wide consensus 2 Mechanism to control the timber National timber tracking • to ensure timber entering supply chain originates from legal supply chains system sources and that timber flows are controlled throughout the whole supply chain (forest=>transport=>storage=>processing=>export) 3 Verification of compliance to • governmental or non-governmental bodies that element 1&2 systematically verify the legality of timber for the EU market o eg.

  • What Is EU FLEGT
    What is the EU FLEGT? The EU FLEGT is the European Union’s response to the global problem of illegal logging and the trade in timber products. It stands for: Forest Law Enforcement Governance and Trade The campaigning NGO for greater environmental and social justice, with a focus on forests and forest peoples rights in the policies and practices of the EU EU FLEGT – a history • In 1998, the G8 foreign ministers’ launched an “action programme on forests”. • In April 2002, the European Commission hosted an international workshop to discuss how the EU should combat illegal logging. • In December 2002, FERN and the Royal Institute of International Affairs presented a blueprint for an EU Action Plan, called Options for Europe. • On 21 May 2003, the Commission presented its FLEGT Action Plan, adopted by the Council in October 2003 with a set of conclusions. The campaigning NGO for greater environmental and social justice, with a focus on forests and forest peoples rights in the policies and practices of the EU. Visit us as www.fern.org The EU FLEGT Action Plan The action plan sets out a range of measures that aim to combat the problem of illegal logging, including: 1. Government Procurement Policies 2. Financial due diligence 3. Voluntary Partnership Agreements (VPAs) between the EU and timber producing countries 4. Illegal timber regulation (additional legislative options to control importation of illegal timber) 1. Government Procurement Policies • The Action Plan encourages EU Member States to address illegal logging via procurement policies to promote the use of legal and sustainably produced timber • In July 2010, six Member States had adopted social and environmental criteria into their procurement policies (Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK) • In July 2010, the EU was developing its own procurement policy but so far it is very weak, as is the EU Ecolabel for timber products as its requirements are lower than those of the six Member States.

  • Combating Illegal Logging Lessons from the EU FLEGT Action Plan
    Combating illegal logging Lessons from the EU FLEGT Action Plan A summary In this summary of the publication Lessons from the EU FLEGT Action Plan, we look at the Action Plan’s impact in the 10 years since its adoption, why the EU must continue the fight against illegal logging and related trade, lessons learned and how we might respond to changes in the world timber trade. 2 Why do forests matter? Forests cover 4 billion hectares of Earth’s surface. That’s around 0.6 hectares of forest for each person. This limited resource contributes at least €180 billion a year to the global economy and provides timber, fuel, food, medicines and many other things we need. The good governance of forests is vital to the 1.3 billion people who depend on forests for all or part of their livelihoods. Most of these people are among the world’s poorest. Forests prevent desertification and soil erosion, protect water supplies and support biodiversity. Forests also matter because the destruction of forests accounts for about 18% of carbon emissions caused by human activity. Photo: EFI Why combat trade in illegal timber? Illegal logging must be stopped because it has • Illegal logging contributes to environmental many negative economic, environmental and degradation, which leads to loss of social consequences. biodiversity, destruction of habitats for animals, soil erosion, changes to water • Globally, illegal logging causes economic cycles and carbon emissions that fuel losses of €7 billion a year.
