Title: Impact of reduction of illegal logging in European Russia on the EU and European Russia forest sector and trade.
Summary: The report examines the potential impacts of implementing trade controls, such as the licensing scheme proposed in the European Union's FLEGT (Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade) Action Plan, aimed at preventing trade in illegally logged timber between North-Western Russia. The results are based on three linked studies: (i) An assessment of the volume of timber of unknown origin (i.e. possibly illegal logging) produced in North-West Russia; (ii) An assessment of existing controls that might prevent illegally logged material originating in the Russian Federation from entering EU-markets and; (iii) A scenario analysis on the impacts of a possible Voluntary FLEGT Partnership Agreement between the European Union and the Russian Federation.
