Recital 10 a (new)
(10a) Forest certification is increasingly developing in Europe and globally. Moreover, a growing number of governments and public authorities, in particular in the EU, are using forest certification as a means of securing the legality and sustainability of their public procurement. Considering third-party verified and certified timber and timber products as legally harvested would be a recognition of the achievements of the forest sector in combating illegal harvesting and an incentive to further expand sustainable forest management and its certification globally.
