Prices across the range of temperate species are said to be firm thanks to demand levels in the EU and competition from Asian, again notably Chinese buyers, who have been taking growing quantities of logs as well as sawn timber.<\/em><\/p>\n

At the European Oak Conference in London in March, the European Organisation of Sawmill Industries (EOS) stated that in seven years Europe\u2019s oak lumber exports to China are up 34%, while log exports have risen 244%. This had led to demands in France in particular for some form of controls on log exports.<\/p>\n

The recent imposition of phytosanitary restrictions on US hardwood logs by China was expected by some to alleviate demand pressure in the market. However, one importer thought that it might lead to Chinese buyers sourcing more US hardwood lumber instead.<\/p>\n

European oak export controls<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adding price inflationary and demand pressure in the European oak market are export and transit controls on oak logs and green lumber in Croatia, ostensibly to curb the spread of oak lace beetle (Corythucha arcuata).<\/p>\n

At the European Oak Conference a representative of the Croatian Oak Cluster said the controls might be relaxed this summer, but according to the EOS there is no news to date.<\/p>\n

The latest is that Croatian authorities have informed the European Commission Standing Committee on Plant, Animals, Food and Feed (PAFF) that their course of action would be decided in July following consideration of a new report into the effectiveness of measures to control spread of the beetle.<\/p>\n

The ten-year ban on unprocessed timber exports from Ukraine has also impacted on EU oak processors and has been challenged by the EU authorities.<\/p>\n

Now, following an investigation by ENGO Earthsight, there is also added concern that lumber from Ukrainian mills entering EU supply chains may have derived from illegally felled trees, including oak.<\/p>\n

Earthsight alleges that Ukrainian rules allowing felling of diseased trees have been illicitly used to harvest healthy forest. The subsequent timber, some of it stamped FSCcertified, was then finding its way, despite EUTR due diligence, into neighbouring EU countries, notably Poland and Romania. The NGO said corruption in Ukrainian authorities was facilitating the trade.<\/p>\n

On July 18 Ukrainian prime minister Volodymyr Groysman, seemingly in response to the Earthsight expos\u00e9, said he was initiating a crackdown on illegal timber and appealed to the EU to provide information on imports of timber from his country. But in the meantime an importer said his company was \u201cinterrogating all European oak imports much more closely\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
