“Tropical timber” for this questionnaire includes only logs/roundwood, veneer, plywood and sawnwood/lumber)
It will take approximately 15 to 20 minutes to complete the questionnaire.
Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. Your information will be coded and will remain confidential. If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact Ms Phuong Hoang at [email protected] or by phone: +358 409633997 .
------------------------------------- Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) is the European Union’s effort to combat illegal logging and the trade of illegal timber from the EU market. The Voluntary partnership Agreements being established with timber exporting countries will assure that the EU and partner countries work together in support of the FLEGT Action Plan. All the timber products exported from FLEGT partner countries will be covered by a FLEGT license which demonstrates the legality of the timber products covered.The EU Timber Regulation mandates that operators and traders ensure the legality of timber products enter and circulating within the EU. It comes into force in March 2013.
