摘要

A trade deal has been signed between Liberia and the EU in an effort to ensure that Liberian timber entering Europe is legally sourced. Liberia is the fifth African country to sign a Voluntary Partnership Agreement with the EU. In such an Agreement the definition of what constitutes legal timber is negotiated on a country-by-country basis. In Liberia, legal timber must come from legitimate concessions that have a social agreement with local communities and that pay the required government taxes and fees. In theory this Voluntary Partnership Agreement represents a robust framework for forestry oversight but a number of obstacles need to be addressed before it becomes a reality, such as the building of necessary infrastructure and workforce to create a well-functioning forestry industry. Of potentially greater concern is the fact that only a small amount of the timber exported from Liberia is destined for Europe, with most Liberian wood being exported to China.
