Timber Regulation (EU)

The EU Timber Regulation (EU TR) aims to prevent illegally harvested wood and timber products from entering the European market. It requires companies to verify that their timber is legally sourced and to maintain documentation proving this legality. This promotes responsible trading, supports sustainable forest management, and helps combat deforestation. Essentially, businesses must ensure their wood products come from legal sources, and authorities can audit their compliance, contributing to the protection of forest ecosystems worldwide.
