Consultation participation and their own register declarations, side by side. Counts, not judgments — participation is not influence.
Counts here are a floor, never a total: they cover the 583 consultation files tracked so far (42,224 submissions, mostly 2025–26), so an organization's real filing history is larger, not smaller.
Register facts self-declared (snapshot 2 Sept 2026); cost bands are floors. Shared files are shared attention, not evidence of coordination.
What each said, in their own words
Their opening passages on the files they share, verbatim and in filing order. We do not summarize, compare, or characterize positions — read them at source.
(1) There is a mistake in recital 3: In addition, it is necessary to clarify that the relevant products listed under Wood in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 d o n t fall within the scope of that Regulation if they are made solely of bamboo, rattan, and other materials of woody nature. (2) Tree bark is not wood and therefore not a relevant commodity.
The European Furniture Industries Confederation fully supports the EU Deforestation Regulations objective to combat global deforestation. Nevertheless, it is crucial to ensure that it is implemented under the right conditions, to be both effective and feasible.
GD Holz Service GmbH is a recognized EUTR Monitoring Organization. We see the EUTR as a potentially valuable tool to protect forests worldwide. However, only a few EU member states set standards that are high enough to meet this goal. In our opinion, some countries take the EUTR very serious whereas others don’t really care. As long as this is happening, the EUTR remains inefficient.
The European Furniture Industries Confederation (EFIC), welcomes EU initiatives aimed at strengthening the fight against illegal logging. Illegal logging is a pervasive problem of major international concern. Forests provide a broad variety of environmental, economic and social benefits essential for humankind, such as maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem functions and protecting the climate.
