    EU Illegal Timber (Due Diligence) Regulation

    The EU has recently agreed a new regulation aimed at stopping the trade in illegal timber within the EU. The Illegal Timber (Due Diligence) Regulation makes it an offence to place illegal timber on the EU market. It also requires operators to undertake due diligence on their supply chains to check the timber has been harvested legally in accordance with the laws in the country of harvest. This responsibility applies to all operators first placing timber on the EU market, regardless of where the timber was harvested. Internal traders throughout the supply chain are also required to keep a record of from whom they have bought timber and to whom they have sold it. EU Member States will now have until early 2013 to implement the regulation.
