This page provides an overview of the legality risks related to timber produced in Romania.
Forests cover about 30% of Romania (FAO, 2015). 65% of this is publicly owned, either at the national level (50%) or lower administrative level (15%), while the remainder (35%) is privately owned.
Several legality risks are present in Romanian timber supply chains, irrespective of whether they are publicly or privately owned. The contravention of applicable laws and regulations is widespread and relates to the abuse of harvesting rights, destructive harvesting practices and weak controls for timber transportation.
Independent assessments have estimated that timber harvested in Romania has a high risk of illegality (EIA, 2015). Companies sourcing timber from Romania should take care to ensure the extensive risks identified are not present in their supply chains, or have been sufficiently mitigated. VIEW LESS
