On Tuesday 19 February Unindustria, the Association of manufacturers and enterprises based in Rome, Frosinone, Rieti and Viterbo, hosted a meeting around the new European Union Timber Regulations.  The two presentations held by Assocarta and Conlegno, which you can find in the DOWNLOAD section, gave further insights and clarifications  regarding the rules coming into effect on 3 March 2013.  Conlegno also described a “risk assessment and mitigation system” that they will soon offer to all interested companies, e.g. importers and users of wood and related products, like pulp and paper, coming from outside the European Union.
