CEI-Bois is pleased to see that authorities understand the positive advantages of using more wood and wood products.
CEI-Bois and its members share the concerns over illegal logging with the Swiss authorities, condemn illegal logging and support all initiatives fighting against this deplorable activity.
Illegal logging damages initiatives to promote legal and sustainable forest practice and hurts the image of wood as an environmentally positive material. It also harms the people whose livelihoods depend upon forests.
CEI-Bois briefing note on the “Proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the obligations of operators who place timber and timber products on the market” and the ongoing discussions within the European Parliament and Council of the European Union.
On Friday 20 November 2009 in Brussels, the General Assembly of Brussels-based European Confederation of Woodworking industries, CEI-Bois aisbl, has appointed a new Board and (Vice-)Chairman.
Wood is an important and growing European resource. Using more wood offers a simple way to reduce CO2 emissions and to encourage the further growth of Europe’s forests.
The publication of a “Memorandum of the woodworking industries to the European institutions” has become a tradition associated with the elections for the European Parliament and the appointment of a new European Commission.
