Summary

Generated

The European Parliament adopted its position consenting to the Council's termination of the EU–Liberia Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA) on legal timber trade under the FLEGT scheme. The termination affects Liberian timber exporters and EU importers who relied on the VPA's licensing framework, shifting oversight back to standard EU Timber Regulation due diligence requirements.
