Recommendation 14
14
Paragraph: 51
Current UK regulation proves insufficient for limiting non-sustainable deforestation impacts.
Conclusion
Current UK regulation is not sufficient when it comes to limiting non-sustainable deforestation. It relies too heavily on the laws in exporting countries and an assumption that that these laws will incorporate adequate provision for sustainability: as currently drafted the Regulations take control of the UK’s impact on sustainable timber production out of the UK’s hands.
