EU targets action on forests

The European Commission adopted a Green Paper on the 1 March 2010 which sets out options for a European Union approach to the protection of forests and to information about forest resources and their condition.

Responses to the Green Paper from the public, Member States, EU institutions and other stakeholders will guide the Commission on whether additional action is needed at EU level.
