Towards a new EU Forest Strategy: position of the European Woodworking Industry

EOS together with CEI-Bois provided feedback on the new EU Forest Strategy consultation.

The two organisations encourage the EU Commission to prepare the new Forest Strategy having an holistic and coherent view of the different EU policies that already cover forestry aspects. In particular, CEI-Bois and EOS call for a coherent framework for all the initiatives planned under the European Green Deal that bear an impact on European forests, ranging from climate and environmental policy to agricultural development and circular bioeconomy.

In line with the European Parliament resolution of 8 October 2020 on the European Forest Strategy - The Way Forward, EOS and CEI-Bois call for an ambitious, independent and self-standing EU Forest Strategy for the post-2020 period in parallel with other relevant sectoral strategies.
