Does this include titled lands? Is it true that Amerindian harvesting timber on titled villages should pay at least 7% to the state? For title lands, do you need a FLEGT Licence Accessing funds for capacity building – For communities doing GPS, can we access funds on GPS training? We agree that FLEGT is for legal timber. We wouldn’t be exporting but selling to other persons who would be exporting, how can we benefit from this? Concerning seizure of produce who does the fine goes to? In terms of discrimination did you take into consideration religious persons? ( those who don’t work on Saturday) Besides fulfilling the requirement for the EU, Is there is any penalty in the event of a breach? Would exporters be sending the license or the issuing authority? Will the FLEGT license be issued only in Georgetown? Will there be a website developed to show who has complied with the requirements of FLEGT as a mechanism improve demand/access of Would there be a clash with FLEGT and LCDS Can we cut wood from our farms which are located outside of our titled land areas? Does all of the trees need to be registered or just a few selected species? What does land area for conversion purposes mean? Can we go about doing inventory of tree of titled lands? Can we ship any amount of wood we want even though the LCDS is telling us to conserve the forest? Is there a time limit on the Agreement Can we get a copy of the MoU with Norway? How does the FLEGT VPA safeguard against mining damages? Would Shingles be covered? What happens under the VPA to the Amerindian areas without title and the people living there? Does the 15 year old rule in the legality definition apply to mining as well? Can my local health post assist in passing the indicator which deals with providing first aide facilities? For those countries that have already signed the VPA have there been any similarities? Harvesting around creek how do we deal with that? Is there 100% verification on the ground before the produce is shipped? How long can you keep a produce to be shipped? What impact would it have on the market? At which point will the license be issued, At the request of the stakeholder or produce readiness? Is the stakeholder protected by Forestry as it relates to payment from the EU buyers? If you are selling to someone in the Caribbean who will be sending to the EU, do they need a license? Do we have a system in place to ship the lumber to the EU? How long will the license be valid considering the shipping time? Can a concession holder buy logs from another concession and export? Tagging is something got the EU Initiative or it was something that was there all the time? Size of the concession that will be given to the logger? In the mining Industry person prospect areas does the same thing happen for the forestry operations? Going on local marketing looking for wood but there is a short due to export. Is there a system in place for a % of the wood left on the local market for domestic use? Going on local marketing looking for wood but there is a short due to export. Is there a system in place for a % of the wood left on the local market for domestic use? Do Forestry tell you where to find what? As of now are we exporting timber to the EU If you should find corruption what systems are in place to deal with corruption? Is there going to be any training program for future exporters under the FLEGT Agreement? How do we compare or distinguish between FLEGT with the Norway Agreement? The VPA, the last GFC we learn about REDD+ they are looking to reduce emission. If EU continues to buy we will never reduce emission. What is the nature of the VPA and EU? Capacity wasn’t there in terms on monitoring mining, how does we guarantee monitoring when it comes to Forestry? Is there any Law when it comes to Forestry? What are the consequences if the license becomes void? Did this organization meet with everyone? What agreement did the others come up with? Is there any funding from the EU to the government of Guyana and is it related to LCDS? What species of Lumber can we supply EU with? Are they using Guyana, in terms of Guyana having the largest Jaguar and lily? What quota is required by the EU Seeing we have the LCDS, if we would not as a country exploit more than what is set When villages have to agree to supply the market, I saw in the document we have to pay royalties. Are you saying that Guyana and the EU are in the negotiation stage or an Agreement has been signed? Though we may not be involved in logging we can make recommendations Any deadline for the agreement? Is Amerindian lands considered private lands? If we want to do logging, the Village Council will have to do tagging? What about communities that are not demarcated but have a valid title Areas that are savannah lands that are village. Can I apply for a concession out of the Savannah? Do we have enough people to monitor what is happening in out areas? Even if we have they should be updated. When the lumber is ceased who controls the illegal stuff? Who owns it legally? What percentage of the Amerindian understands what is being said? Even if we get the ACT understanding the ACT may be difficult Will the VPA subject stakeholders to a one off licensing as with the case of the EXPORT licenses or is there a renewal process for each export? Will non EU markets require the FLEGT licenses? How aware are the GFC Forest officers on ground of the FLEGT VPA process in Guyana? Has Guyana been requesting certificates for imported timber, how do we keep abreast with those imports? Can we add products such as NTFPs to the product list? For logs being approved by GFC but rejected by buyer, can the tags be reused for new produce to be exported? In terms of tracking timber and movements without documents, how do we deal with produce coming from the forest on several transportation? How will the VPA benefit us financially, will the market in Guyana be preferred over other markets as a result of signing onto the VPA? What percentage of stakeholders input is there in the development of the documents currently being used for the VPA negotiations? Legal piece of wood looks the same as an illegal, in such cases what systems will be put in place to distinguish between the two and ensure compliance? Some Amerindians are accustomed to using poisonous substances for fishing ,this we know can cause damage to other underwater animals and people who utilize the stream ,What about the use of poisonous substance for fishing for traditional use ? What is the difference between Amerindian and Indigenous peoples, what is traditional use according to the Amerindian /indigenous people? Has forestry been approached by non-traditional people for the use of the forest produce apart from logging? In terms of land clearing and the practice of slash and burn by indigenous communities, what is the prevalence of this activity and how is this dealt with by the forestry commission? For blocks being allocated for mining, there are times when trees are cut for traditional purposes without the permission of owners but has to be accounted for by the holders in terms of tagging, how do we deal with these stumps in cases where GFC would institute fines? Can the GFC have more sessions to enlighten the stakeholders of the VPA so that better management practices can be employed by stakeholders? Are there currently any restrictions for produce from Guyana to the EU market? Who will be held accountable for third party negotiations when the chain of custody for a particular shipment that maybe confiscated by forestry? What can the GFC do about third party agreements that have been breached for any particular export produce? For the VPA is it possible for a third party to do verification checks for custody as outline by the COPS? Who issues a custody in event of FLEGT licenses being found to be tampered with? How would the IFM deal with situation where there is un-verified logs found during their audit? What will be the validity of the FLEG license How will the VPA deal with breaches unearthed after a shipment has left the shores of Guyana? What support measures are needed to ensure the systems currently in place are working and will continue to work? In light of illegality occurring in the forest how can we ensure 100% verification? Mining is being done in forestry concessions, produce are without tags, traps are set when persons are leaving which is dangerous to others.
