EU Timber Regulation against timber of illegal origin |
|
Friday, 01 February 2013 |
|
The EU Timber Regulation 995/2010 (EU TR) enters into force as from 3 March 2013. The Regulation prohibits placing timber on the EU market and counters the trade in illegally harvested timber and timber products.
The European Timber Regulation is applicable to a range of timber and timber products including packaging and pallets. In case your company places timber or timber products for the first time on the EU-market (classified as “operators”), you will need to demonstrate that the timber is not of illegal origin. Therefore you must give guarantees about the legal origin of your products through a due diligence system.

|
Friday, 13 July 2012 |

Light Weight Packaging deserves special attention into the congress programme, as Spain is a big producing country of LWP, the best option to export all those fantastic oranges all over the world.
Item 5 on the business session deals with LWP and wood into contact with food, relevant for pallets and industrial packaging as well.
Something to look forward to is the visit to Serraenvas, part of the professional tour, one of the biggest crates manufacturers in Europe. Highly sophisticated production facilities.
This is only 1 element out of a packed congress programme, not to be missed.
