CEPF greatly appreciates and supports the initiative of the MCPFE Liaison Unit Oslo to hold a workshop on a “Legally Binding Agreement” in Greece, later this year. In order to be able to provide valuable input to this workshop, CEPF regards it paramount to foster an exchange of ideas and opinions between experts, policy-makers and private forest owners as soon as possible.

For that reason, CEPF intends to organize a seminar on the “Possibilities for and impacts of a pan-European Forest Convention”, focusing on the advantages and disadvantages for private forest owners across Europe. The planned date for this seminar is Friday the 5th of September at the European Forestry House in Brussels.
