Greenpeace has taken action to stop a suspected illegal shipment of Indonesian rainforest plywood from being imported into the EU. There is currently no law to stop the import of timber like this into the EU. The fact that this shipment can enter Europe, despite the desire of most countries in the European Union to combat this trade, shows how important it is to introduce new legislation and other measures to stop the import of illegally logged timber.

Please write to Poul Nielson, the European Commissioner for Development and Humanitarian Aid, asking him to stop this illegal timber trade immediately.
