<\/span>Following an extensive period of consultation with their members the European Confederation of the Woodworking Industries (CEI-Bois) and the European Organisation of the Sawmill Industry (EOS) have released their political manifesto for the 2024-29 political term.<\/p>\n

The manifesto is aimed at the European institutions especially the incoming elected members of the European Parliament and the staff at the Commission including the new commissioners. It sets out clearly the numerous benefits of responsibly sourced wood products and the actions that policy makers need to prioritise to achieve a green, cost-efficient, competitive and resilient EU economy. It ends by highlighting the ways in which wood can decarbonise the built environment.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the manifesto\u2019s launch Sampsa Auvinen the\u00a0chair of CEI-Bois commented:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cEurope has been at the forefront of implementing climate change policies and regulations and working to find ways to reduce the pressure on our planet\u2019s environment and finite resources. By choosing wood\u00a0products we can have a significant and positive impact on climate change now and into the future. Wood, as a key renewable resource, can be used to create reusable and recyclable materials. However\u00a0wood\u2019s full potential in relation to these issues can only be released if policy makers take the right\u00a0actions. Our manifesto sets out clearly what these actions need to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

He was joined by\u00a0Herbert Jo\u0308bstl president of EOS who noted:<\/strong>
\n\u201cThe increased use of sustainable wood to manufacture a range of products including construction and renovation materials can substitute for more carbon intensive products and at the same time, in many cases, also has the benefit of storing carbon for several decades in the products. The whole process can deliver key environmental benefits including year on year more and more CO2\u00a0being removed from the atmosphere and safely stored but only if the right policy framework is crafted and delivered by decision makers in Brussels. If they give us this framework we, the wood value chain, will deliver these much\u00a0needed benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n

The manifesto it is hoped will influence policy makers for the next five years, 2024-29, as they take decisions that will impact on the wood value chain. The manifesto identifies the following eight key actions that decision makers based in Brussels need to deliver to achieve a green, cost-efficient, competitive and<\/p>\n

1) \u00a0Undertake a science-based impact climate and environmental assessment prior to developing any new legislation that directly, indirectly or potentially effects the availability of wood resources from the forest.<\/p>\n

2) \u00a0Strengthen, not weaken, the competitiveness of the European wood products manufacturing sector including traditional sectors, crafts and SMEs by promoting investment in Europe.<\/p>\n

3) \u00a0Promote a high ambition for European open strategic autonomy for renewable raw materials<\/p>\n

and their processing for strategic applications, hence to complement primary production it is<\/p>\n

important to boost the availability of secondary materials in Europe.<\/p>\n

4) \u00a0Design policies and regulations to ensure that all buildings\u00a0\u2013\u00a0irrespective of what they are<\/p>\n

made from\u00a0\u2013\u00a0are responsible for generating as little CO2\u00a0as possible during their construction and life span, and that the storage of carbon in buildings is recognised as a climate benefit. New buildings that would generate high levels of CO2\u00a0emissions during their construction and\/or usage should be denied planning permission. Encourage the market adoption of low carbon materials by guiding efforts, in line with a WLC approach, to reduce embodied carbon i.e. the combined emissions from manufacturing, transportation, construction and renovation.<\/p>\n

5) \u00a0Ensure coherence across policy areas covering the environment and climate, energy, construction, waste management, digitalisation as well as education and skills improvement.<\/p>\n

6) \u00a0Recognise that, while pursuing the renovation agenda, there is still a need to support the important role played by the construction sector in dealing with the increasing need for baffordable and sustainable newly built assets.<\/p>\n

7) \u00a0Enable the European Bioeconomy to step up its efforts in contributing to achieving a resilient<\/p>\n

and competitive net-zero European economy including decarbonising the built environment.<\/p>\n

8) \u00a0Harmonise building codes - with regards to the use of timber in construction - to make building with wood easier across multiple geographies at both a country and a European level.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
