What was the challenge/problem addressed?

The problem was complying with article 10.4.d. of Royal Decree 1088/2015, of December 4, to ensure the legality of the marketing of wood and wood products, relative to the contents of the State Information System for wood trade in Spain (LIGNUM). All this in compliance with FLEGT and EUTR.

Hoe heb je het probleem opgelost??

Creating Lignum Data, which is a computer application that provides statistical information on the processing management of FLEGT licenses and responsible declarations and EUTR controls in Spain, providing, among other information, the volume and nature of wood products marketed by first time in the European Union market and the agents that market them.

Lignum Data allows the user to make online queries about the FLEGT and EUTR management data in Spain, generate reports based on the queries made, as well as download the consulted data.

Wat is innovatief in jouw praktijkgeval?

Lignum data provides information on a map about the Autonomous Regions.

Wat zijn de succesfactoren bij het oplossen van het probleem??

Coordinate autonomous regions to provide data to the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge.

The reports that can be generated

They are distributed according to the following themes:

  • FLEGT:

– FLEGT license validation requests processed.

– Weight of products declared in FLEGT licenses.

  • EUTR:

– Responsible Declarations.

– Number of EUTR Agents.

– EUTR product quantities.

– Countries of origin of EUTR products.

– EUTR controls.

– EUTR information by Autonomous Region

Likewise, for correct compliance with the EUTR Regulation it is necessary to know which species the wood of the products to be marketed comes from. This implies, aan de ene kant, that it is important to have a general knowledge of timber species (bijvoorbeeld, knowing the scientific name, knowing if they are threatened species or what level of protection the species has or what the country of origin is. of utilization). verder, anderzijds, it is very useful to know what the wood analysis techniques are and how to carry out adequate sampling in case the botanical identification of a wood is needed in order to rule out the risk of illegality of the wood product.

What role does the advisor or advisory service play with the practical case?

Adequate compliance with the FLEGT and EUTR Regulations requires constant training and updating regarding aspects related to the legality of wood. Daarom, it is especially relevant to provide EUTR advisors with resources and news that can serve this purpose.

The competent state authority wants to make information given in conferences, courses, enzovoort. available to interested parties and the general public. that contributes to the improvement of knowledge on FLEGT and EUTR matters.
