The European Commission presented the\u00a0Fit for 55<\/a><\/strong> plan on Wednesday, July 14. 13 legislative proposals are intended to help reduce greenhouse gases. This should reduce EU emissions by 55 percent by 2030. It is intended to help ensure that at least 55 percent fewer greenhouse gases are emitted in the countries of the European Union by 2030 than in 1990. <\/em><\/p>\n

The package comprises twelve climate and energy policy projects, including the revision of the directives on energy efficiency and renewable energies and their expansion emissions trading on the mobility and building sector. Published in addition to this package of 12 legislative proposals\u00a0the EU Commission drafted a new EU forest strategy.<\/p>\n

German forest industry reacts<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the Raw wood association of the German wood industry (\u00a0Arbeitsgemeinschaft Rohholz eV-AGR) point of view, however, some approachesin the Fit for 55 plan encourage increasing restrictions on use in forest management.<\/p>\n

AGR thinks the provisions of the regulation for the LULUCF sector (land use, land use change and forestry) and the content of the EU forestry strategy are critical with regard to the future supply of the sustainable raw material wood.<\/p>\n

According to the draft LULUCF regulation contained therein, the CO2 binding of the sector is to be increased from 225 to 310 million tons by 2030.\u00a0From the point of view of the AGR, however, these targets promote the abandonment of forest use:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the same immature idea as with the Climate Protection Act in Germany;\u00a0if the specification of the binding capacity is increased in this way, there is hardly any alternative but to increase the build-up of carbon in the forest by foregoing forest use and increasing the stock, \u201dcomments Lukas Freise, managing director of AG Rohholz.\u00a0The new ordinance reflects the contradiction between the increase in the forest depressions due to higher wood stocks and the increasing demand for sustainable wood products, but in the end it cannot resolve it.<\/p>\n

The new draft of the EU forest strategy in combination with the biodiversity strategy also intervenes heavily in the management plans of the member states.\u00a0According to this, up to 30% of the land area should be placed under strict protection, and 10% should be completely withdrawn from use.<\/p>\n

\u201cOverall, the climate protection performance of the use of wood, especially the substitution performance, i.e. the saving of greenhouse gases by replacing more energy-intensive materials with wood, is not given enough consideration.\u00a0The use of the sustainable raw material wood is essential for the expansion of the bioeconomy.\u00a0For this reason, political framework conditions must be created that secure the supply of wood as a raw material in the long term.\u00a0The idea echoed in the draft of creating new forest areas certainly has potential in many places in the EU, \u201dconcludes Freise.<\/p>\n

Swedish Forest industry believes the EU Commission is taking a wrong path<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

The Swedish Forest Industries Federation (Skogsindustrierna) believes that the EU Commission is taking the wrong path with the proposals in the Fit-for-55 climate package.\u00a0Instead of highlighting all the forest's values, and abilities to contribute to the conversion, the proposals have a strong bias towards the forest as a carbon sink.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

''Already today, the Swedish forest industry contributes to a green, sustainable development and we want to do so to an even greater extent in the future.\u00a0It is therefore frustrating that the EU through the Fit-for-55 climate package jeopardizes this by focusing too much on the forest as a carbon sink and too little on the role of forest-based products in the transition, says Viveka Beckeman,'' CEO of Skogsindustrierna.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

''We need policies that stimulate forestry, innovation and investment, ensure international competitiveness and reward those who are already at the forefront of a green transition.\u00a0Unfortunately, we cannot see that the proposals in the climate package contain this.\u00a0On the contrary, the proposals would limit our ability to contribute and increase costs and administration for companies,'' says Anna Holmberg, head of the Forest Industries' office in Brussels.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Skogsindustrierna, most of the proposals in the climate package have a direct impact on the Swedish forest industry, such as the EU ETS, the\u00a0<\/span>Land Use Regulation (LULUCF) and the Renewable Energy Directive (RED), but also initiatives focusing on energy efficiency and fossil-free shipping.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

EU pulp and paper industry thinks\u00a0\u201cFit for 55<\/em>\u201d is an incomplete toolbox<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The European pulp and paper industry fully supports the EU objective to reach climate neutrality by 2050. But the presented \u201cFit for 55<\/em>\u201d legislative package is an incomplete toolbox, thinks\u00a0The Confederation of European Paper Industries (Cepi).<\/p>\n

Cepi calls on co-legislators to give strong political support to measures that enable our sector to contribute \u2013 with decarbonised production, product substitution and sustainable forest management \u2013 to reaching the 2030 goals.<\/p>\n

Today, it is an incomplete toolbox, says Cepi. It fails to address the biggest challenges of transforming European industries.<\/p>\n

The proposed framework needs to strike the right balance between imposing economic burden on \u201cMade in Europe<\/em>\u201d industries and rewarding investments in decarbonisation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pulp and paper industry expects the Members of the European Parliament and Member States to provide the industry with the right tools to shift the sustainability gear in society\u2019s consumption and industrial production,\u201d commented Jori Ringman, Director General of Cepi. \u201cThis new policy framework needs to enable further decarbonisation of the sustainable industries by ensuring its global competitiveness in the transformation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

11 European Union member states to have sent a letter to Frans Timmermans, the Vice-President of the European Commission for the European Green Deal, calling on him to review the EU\u2019s planned forestry strategy, which they said was skewed against social and economic considerations and unduly favoured \u201cgreen aspects\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
