As the work of the European Commission (EC) on the review of the EU Forest Strategy for 2030 (EUFS) is in progress, and ahead of the joint meeting organised by the EC on 10 December on this topic, the undersigned organisations, representing European forest owners and managers, would like to call for the review process to go beyond assessing progress towards objectives set in the past. It needs also to assess present relevance and usefulness of actions not yet implemented, and whether further actions are needed to maintain multifunctional and climate-resilient forests through sustainable and active forest management.
