International Tropical Timber Agreement, 2006

The European Parliament adopted a legislative resolution on the draft Council decision on the conclusion, on behalf of the European Union, of the 2006 International Tropical Timber Agreement.

It gave its consent to the conclusion of the Agreement and called on the Commission to provide, whenever requested by Parliament, any relevant information regarding the implementation of this Agreement, namely on action plans and programmes, as well as the decisions taken by the bodies established by the Agreement.

The Commission is also called upon to submit a review of the implementation of the Agreement to Parliament and the Council in the final year of application, before negotiations are opened on the renewal of the Agreement, in particular in relation to the Union's own forest law enforcement, governance and trade instruments.
