Counts here are a floor, never a total: they cover the 326 consultation files tracked so far (29,503 submissions, mostly 2025–26), so an organization's real filing history is larger, not smaller.

Protecting the Forest Sweden [Protect Skogen] We appreciate the opportunity to comment on this highly strategic topic. Our comments mainly relate to the bioenergy framework. Our full comments can be found in the attached document, but our main observations are as follows: Burning wood-based bioenergy does not reduce greenhouse gas emissions and does not contribute to improving the climate.
Filed in Swedish · English published by the European Commission
Protect the Forest would like to underline the urgent need for strengthened forest-related legislation across the EU and thus welcomes the Commission's proposed Forest Monitoring Framework (FML). The Commission has produced a somewhat strong proposal, which needs further improvement.
Despite some efforts and improvements, biodiversity in the EU continues to decline. We also see downward trends in Sweden: The Forest Agency writes: “Development in the environment is negative”. Many studies give a bleak picture of the state of Europe’s forests. The overwhelming majority of forests in Europe have low to medium ecosystem integrity.
Filed in Swedish · English published by the European Commission
The European Commission is charting the path to making the EU climate-neutral by 2050 and thus recommends a 90% net greenhouse gas emissions reduction by 2040 compared to 1990 levels. We agree that this is a needed minimum, and further underline the scientific proof that this can not be achieved without a fundamental shift within land use in general, and forestry in particular.

Turns up on the same files
Organizations that also filed on at least two of the same consultations. A shared interest in the same dossiers — not evidence of coordination, and we do not suggest any.
Everything on this page comes from Protect the Forest’s own submissions to the European Commission — we have added nothing and interpreted nothing. If something is wrong or out of date, email info@policyspeak.com and we will correct it. If you are an individual named in a record, our privacy policy sets out your rights to correction, objection and removal.
Quotes are verbatim from submissions published by the European Commission, trimmed to their opening passage and never summarized by a model. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
