Illegal Logging
Progressio in Ireland and in the UK has been working and lobbying with a number of other environmental organisations for the last three years to get a law passed on a European level that would ban illegal wood from being placed on the EU market. And we were successful! In late 2010 the "EU Timber Regulation" (No 995/2010) was passed by the European Parliament and the Council, which will apply from 3 March 2013. Click on the link below to find out more about our activities around illegal logging.
