Repeal of Directive 68/89/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning the classification of wood in the rough
This procedure aims to repeal an outdated 1968 directive regarding how rough wood is classified across EU Member States. By removing these old rules, the EU seeks to modernize forestry standards and align them with current international trade and certification practices.
This change primarily affects the forestry sector and timber traders. It removes obsolete legal requirements, allowing for more flexible, modern standardization and compliance processes in the wood industry.
