!• FSC is a scheme developed for tropical forests

• In Europe forest are well managed under quite strictrules and on the basis of a long tradition: no needs todemonstrate what is already evident

• FSC certification is an unsustainable cost for the smallforest owners and an “unfair” competitive advantage for

the large ones

In 1998 a new ombrella scheme was created: thePan-European Forest Certification (PEFC) schemebased on C&I of the Pan-European Process

• Review of forest certification schemes carried out by theCentral Point of Expertise on Timber - last update Nov. 2008

• Commissioned by the UK Government to establish whichforest certification schemes are able to deliver itsrequirements for legal and sustainable timber for GPPpolicies:

from April 1 2009 the policy will demand that all timber and wood-derived

products must be ‘from independently verifiable legal and sustainablesources or FLEGT-licensed timber’ (timber which only meets the legalitycriteria will be accepted in very special cases only)

• Methodology:

- 5 schemes assessed (CSA, FSC, MTCC, PEFC, SFI)

- based on scheme documentation + input from stakeholder consultation,each scheme invited to review the collected information and main findings,technical review panel of 4 independent experts
