Illegal logging – evaluation of EU rules (fitness check) - EUTR and FLEGT Regulation

ClientEarth welcomes the European Commission’s call for responses to its public consultation and the ongoing work the Commission is pursuing within its fitness check to assess and study both the EU Timber Regulation and the FLEGT Regulation.

While ClientEarth considers that both the EUTR and the FLEGT Regulation have contributed to more legality and transparency in global timber supply chains and have made progress towards achieving the objectives of the FLEGT Action Plan, we hope to be able to address a number of our concerns with regards to interpretation, enforcement and objectives in this document which accompanies our response to the Commission’s questionnaire.
