FLEGT licensing is helping importers to comply with EUTR, while the forest sector reforms and new procedures implemented during the FLEGT VPA process form part of a positive narrative that now needs to be communicated more widely to buyers and procurement officials in the EU.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

These were key messages of the latest European trade consultation, which targeted Belgian and Dutch traders, hosted by the FLEGT Independent Market Monitor (IMM).<\/p>\n

The event held in the Belgian port of Antwerp formed part of a series of consultations to inform IMM work to assess market drivers and market impacts and perceptions of FLEGT. Similar consultations were held last year in France, Germany and the UK, and others are planned in Spain and Italy later in 2019.<\/p>\n

There were some comments made at the consultation by Meriam Wortel, representing the NVWA, the Dutch CA for EUTR and FLEGT. A role of NVWA is to monitor volume trends in Indonesian forest product imports into the Netherlands since the start of FLEGT licensing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ms. Wortel said that \u201cwhile, pulp and paper trade is more prone to fluctuation, the overall direction [of Indonesian timber imports into the Netherlands] has been upwards, with latest figures for timber and wood furniture showing further rises. However, while we can say licensing has had no negative effects, it is not yet clear to what degree or if FLEGT licensing is a factor in this positive trade trend.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Ms. Wortel, the NVWA is processing more FLEGT licences than any other CA, a total last year of 8546. The Dutch CA is also one of the driving forces behind developing a fully electronic FLEGT-licensing system in cooperation with Indonesia and the EC.<\/p>\n

Initial administrative teething problems dealing with licences had been overcome as the trade grew accustomed to the process, said Ms Wortel. However, an ongoing issue was mismatches between HS codes on licences and those applied in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve raised this with the Indonesian authorities and liaised with other CAs, but, while the incidence of mismatches decreased last year, it has recently risen again,\u201d said Ms. Wortel. \u201cSo, there\u2019s continuing need to stress to exporters they must get license details right.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the subsequent discussion, participants highlighted that perceived \u201cmismatches\u201d were sometimes not due to mistakes on the FLEGT-licenses or importers\u2019 documentation but to limited product knowledge and mistranslations on the part of customs\u2019 officials.<\/p>\n

\u201cLaminated\u201d joinery products, for example, would sometimes be expected by customs officials to be \u201cfilmfaced\u201d. One or two participants complained that sorting out such issues and getting customs authorities to accept that the mistake was in fact their own would sometimes involve lengthy negotiations.<\/p>\n

Ms Wortel added that the NVWA anticipated fewer mismatch issues with imports from Ghana when it starts licensing due to its less complex product mix and the different system of applying for and issuing FLEGT licenses. She also said that the goal was that the process of FLEGT-licensing in Ghana should be fully electronic right from the start.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
