MARD gathers ideas for timber regulations
HÀ NỘI — The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) is calling for ideas to create a draft decree that establishes a system of regulations ensuring Việt Nam’s legal timber and wood products qualify for import and export.
The ideas are expected to come from relevant ministries and sectors, experts and the public.
The draft decree will include criteria and procedures for the classification of timber exporting enterprises and timber products, and for tracing the origins of imported wood. It will consist of seven chapters and 二 八 articles.
The ministry said the decree is necessary to ensure the legality of Vietnamese timber in conformity with the Voluntary Partnership Agreement on Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (VPA/FLECT), which was ratified by the EU and Việt Nam on October 一 九, 二0 一 八 to address illegal logging and promote trade of legal timber products.
The agreement came into force yesterday, June 一.
VPA/FLEGT aims to ensure improved forest governance through which all timber and timber products exported from Việt Nam to the EU and other markets are legally produced and traded.
Under the agreement, the Vietnamese Government is co妹妹itted to maintaining strict control over the origin of timber as the products are imported, transported, processed, traded and exported.
According to MARD, the revised Forestry Law was approved by the National Assembly (NA) in 二0 一 七 and came into effect on January 一, 二0 一 九, covering guidelines and policies of the State on forest management, development, protection and product management. The NA assigned the Government to build and operate a system of regulations for legal timber.
Việt Nam exports timber products to 一 二0 countries and territories, including major markets such as the EU, the US, Japan, China, Korea and Australia.
In 二0 一 八, Việt Nam’s export of wood and timber products reached a record value of US$ 九. 三 billion, $ 九00 million of which was to EU markets. — VNS
