"The 2006 agreement, concluded between producers and consumers of timber products, is a 10-year agreement and subject to review every five years. The objectives of the 2006 agreement are, among others, to promote the expansion and diversification of international trade in tropical timber from sustainably managed and legally harvested forests and to promote the sustainable management of tropical timber producing forests by providing an effective framework for consultation, international cooperation and policy development among all members with regard to all relevant aspects of the world timber economy. The agreement identifies ways to ensure a credible licensing scheme as a means of guaranteeing that only timber products that are legally produced enter the market, and confirms the very existence and operating mechanisms of the International Tropical Timber Organisation (ITTO), established by the 1983 International Tropical Timber Agreement (ITTA). More than 80% of the producers and importers of tropical timber products are members of the organisation and contracting parties to the ITTA. I welcomed the document because, in my opinion, it addresses the most pressing issues of the timber industry. The ITTO will continue its work on issues such as deforestation and illegal logging, but even more can be done to strengthen forest law enforcement. For instance, the EU could adopt the abovementioned measures."@en1
