ETTF’s perspective EP Bruxelles 9 October 2012 FLEGT-achievements ETTF’s perspective EP Bruxelles 9 October 2012

ETTF organises 10 national federations covering approx. 90% of import of tropical timber

Forest Law Enforcement VPA’s Governance Trade EUTR

VPA’s Closed Export m3 to ETTF (2011) logs & lumber - Cameroun 484k - CFA 24k - Ghana 49k - Indonesia 41k - Liberia 23k - Congo 94k

VPA’s Negotiations Export m3 to ETTF (2011) logs &lumber - DRC 88k - Gabon 94k - Guyana 4k - Honduras p.m. - Malaysia 246k - Vietnam p.m.

Total import tropical logs & lumber ETTF 2011 (x 1000) Africa 991k Asia 309k Latin America 175k 1.475k Of which VPA’s closed: 715k VPA’s negotiations: 432k Plywood: China, Indonesia Furniture: Thailand, Vietnam

VPA’s FLEGT-licensed timber delivered? - so far 0% - near future? - Indonesia and Ghana ?

VPA’s Result of 10 years work seems poor BUT VPA – negotiations have been a major driver for change

VPA’s Development TLAS Involvement stakeholders Serious enforcement Capacitybuilding

EUTR Work done under VPA’s basis for implementation of EUTR Importers to exercise due diligence Assess risk of illegality

EUTR Countries with working TLAS constitute lesser risk Nevertheless: timber trade hopes to see as much FLEGT-licensed timber as possible

EUTR In the meantime ETTF and it’s members invest substantially in the implementation of the EUTR Call to EC: - speed up VPA negotiations - take care of a strict implementation of the EUTR in all the MS

VPA / EUTR - Bridge VPA and EUTR - Give TLAS accepted in VPA negotiations a (semi)greenlane to Europe
