EU–China cooperation to stop illegal logging
The EU and China have worked together since 2009 to combat illegal logging and associated trade globally through the Bilateral Coordination Mechanism (BCM) on Forest Law Enforcement and Governance.
Current activities include:
- Supporting the setting up of new legislation in China on promotion of legally-sourced timber and timber products.
- Further developing trilateral cooperation between China, Indonesia and the EU on promoting trade of legally-sourced timber and timber products.
- Providing information about timber legality developments in China to international stakeholders, and information to Chinese stakeholders about international markets.
- Creating synergies and strengthening the cooperation between China and VPA countries in Asia and Africa on forest governance.
