Forest Law Enforcement Governance and Trade in timber products to the European Union

This procedure concerns the formal termination of the Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA) between the European Union and Liberia. This agreement was designed to improve forest governance and combat illegal logging by ensuring that only legally harvested timber is exported to the EU market.

The end of this agreement affects the trade relationship between the EU and Liberia regarding timber products, potentially changing the certification and monitoring requirements for timber imports from Liberia.
