What they argued
The Swedish Forest Industries Federation represents the Swedish forest industry. Our members refine wood resources to bio-based products. This includes among others pulp, paper, board, packaging material, sawn timber, refined wood products and advanced biofuels. Some members have large forest holdings. The Swedish forest industry is highly trade intensive.
The Swedish Forest Industries Federation represents sawmills and pulp and paper mills supply a substantial share of the biomass and bio-based products in the EU, including side streams for energy use. The sector relies on the possibility to practice active sustainable management adapted to the local context to produce raw material.
The Swedish Forest Industries Federation (SFIF) represents companies that are large producers and users of renewable energy. Internal use of biomass residues is an important part of the industries substitution of fossil fuel. Sustainable primary and secondary biomass, as well as transport fuels, renewable electricity and heat, constitute a significant share of RES in Sweden and the EU.
The Swedish Forest Industries Federation (Skogsindustrierna), thanks for the opportunity to participate in this call for evidence. We look forward to the Commission's public consultation on the coming revision on European Directive 96/53/EC later this year. The Swedish Forest Industries Federation is one of the largest industry branches in Sweden.
The Swedish Forest Industries Federation (SFIF) welcomes the opportunity to provide input on this call for evidence. SFIF fully supports the view that better data and information enables better decision making. It is of crucial importance that the impact assessment clarifies a number of issues. SFIF wishes to highlight the following: 1. Clarify purpose and added value and make use of existing reporting schemes.
LULUCF policies should be based on balanced and realistic assessments of the forests natural dynamics and consider other sustainability dimensions Maintaining natural carbon sinks in the long term is a crucial part of reaching climate goals, also beyond 2050. This should, however, not be compromised by focusing on short term targets or unreasonable burdens on specific Member States.
