Oct 14, 2013. /Lesprom Network/. Alberto Romero, General Secretary of the Spanish Timber Trade Federation (AEIM), will address the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC) European Convention on the implications of the EU Timber Regulation. The Convention, which takes place in Budapest from October 24-25, brings together US hardwood suppliers and key European customers, as European Timber Trade Federation said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

Mr. Romero will speak in a workshop entitled “U.S. hardwoods, a legal and sustainable resource, and the impact of the EUTR on Europe’s hardwood markets.” He will stress that AEIM’s Due Diligence System rates US hardwoods as negligible illegality risk.
