[SAWMILLING] The European Organisation of the Sawmill Industry was holding its summer General Assembly in Helsinki on 12-13 June   What were the main take-home messages?   🌲🌳 The Finnish Minister of agriculture and forestry, Sari Essayah, took part in GA and emphasized the "key role of #sawnwood products in responding to global challenges, including climate change and #sustainable #economicgrowth".   🌲🌳 The European woodworking and sawmill industries manifesto for the political term 2024-2029 was presented, including the 8 key actions that need to be taken by decision makers to deliver a green, cost efficient, competitive and resilient EU economy.   🌲🌳 Concerns was expressed about the “Deforestation Regulation” #EUDR regarding the insurmountable difficulties and bureaucracy that SMEs will actually have to face and the missing implementing act on the country benchmarking that could lead to unfortunate and regrettable consequences.   🌲🌳 The latest edition of the EOS Annual Report was presented, and provides the usual overview of European sawnwood markets, forests and availability of raw materials for the industry as well as an analysis of overseas markets of interest to the European sawmill industry   🌲🌳 The Assembly also noted the intention to revise the EU #Bioeconomy Strategy by the end of 2025 and the fact that this is both an opportunity and a threat to the sawmill industry. An opportunity if policy makers rightly recognise that construction timber is at the heart of the bioeconomy. But a threat if it fails to do so.   👉 Annual report: https://lnkd.in/eCuJ3a95 👉 Manifesto: www.cei-bois.org/manifesto
