On Tuesday, 25 March 2025, Sven-Erik Hammar, CEPF President; Luc Bouvarel, CEPF Vice-President and Fanny-Pomme Langue, CEPF Secretary General, met with Commissioner Jessika Roswall.
This meeting was a very welcome and timely opportunity to introduce the daily work and challenges of European Forest Owners, as well as their hopes and expectations regarding the new mandate of the European Commission.
European forest owners are of the views that their efforts and positive contribution have unfortunately been under-appreciated and not sufficiently recognised when it comes to recently adopted EU forest-related policies. During this meeting, a call for rebalancing these policies was made by CEPF, building on the environmental, social and economic roles of forests.
A constructive discussion took place during the meeting, with an exchange of views on several EU forest-related files including the EU Bioeconomy Strategy and the implementation of the EU Forest Strategy.
