THE GREEN PAPER ON FOREST PROTECTION AND INFORMATION
Green Paper on Forest Protection and Information
On 1st March 2010, the European Commission adopted a Green Paper 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.
