Asked about FLEGT licensed Indonesian plywood, many European importers say it had not had significant impact on their purchasing or sales.<\/em><\/p>\n

One commented that this was related to lack of supply from Indonesia generally. Another said that they had recently seen an upturn in demand for marine ply from Indonesia. \u201cBut that\u2019s been due primarily to the excellent quality from our suppliers<\/em>,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Importers also cited customer\u2019s preference for FSC and PEFC certification, with FLEGT licensing regarded as a \u2018bonus form of legality verification\u2019. \u201cWe still don\u2019t believe that enough is known about FLEGT licensing or the wider FLEGT Voluntary Partnership Agreement initiative in the marketplace, particularly in terms of itson the ground impacts in the supplier country<\/em>,\u201d said an importer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe still need more communication on FLEGT generally, with awareness greater among our customers of Indonesia\u2019s long-established SVLK timber legality assurance system, which became the TLAS of its FLEGT VPA, than FLEGT itself. Certainly, little is known of the sustainability aspects of FLEGT licensing<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

UK TTF Managing Director David Hopkins took up the themes of awareness and market impact of FLEGT licensing at the recent FLEGT Independent Market Monitoring Trade Consultation in Nantes, France at the end of May. He urged the EU industry to press their national governments to accept a FLEGT licence as evidence of full compliance with their timber purchasing policy, which currently only those of the UK and Luxembourg do.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe actively promote the fact to the market that the UK government accepts a FLEGT licence as \u2018Category A\u2019 proof of legality and sustainability on a level with what we regard as branded certification businesses, FSC and PEFC,<\/em>\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The UK TTF has also taken steps to ensure Chinese plywood satisfies standards claimed in documentation and labelling. After a year-long review of the market, it has now established a new \u2018plywood framework\u2019 within its compulsory Responsible Purchasing Policy.<\/p>\n

This demands that UK TTF members ensure third-party testing of glue bonds and obtain all relevant paperwork on suppliers\u2019 factory production controls. The TTF stipulates too that all packs should be marked with product technical class and timber species used. It has also started a market education programme to tackle \u2018ignorance about plywood classes and their application\u2019.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
