  1. CEI-BOISEUROPEAN WOOD WORKING INDUSTRY’S STRATEGY AND ACTIVITIES Philip BUISSERET, SG CEI-BOIS INTERPAL Bordeaux, October 18th 2013

  2. Why a CEI-Bois? • Common organization to monitor and influence EU policies • Voice of the EU Wood Working Industry • EU Institutions and stakeholders (media, NGO,...) • Value chain partner organizations at EU level • EU workers organizations • Material organization (product neutral) • Reference for all questions related to Eur WWI

  3. Who is CEI-Bois?

  4. What is CEI-Bois: platform and network

  5. CEI-Bois compared to FEFPEB CEI-BOIS FEFPEB Dedicated to represent one type of application/product Deals with vertical, product-linked issues (focus) More shared interests and issues • Overall representation for a material (wood) • Deals with horizontal, material-linked issues • Common denominator of different interests

  6. What does CEI-Bois do?

  7. Scope of CEI-BOIS activities FEFPEB EOS EPF FEP SOURCING; WOOD MOBILIZATION DEMAND SIDE INNOVATION TRADE ISSUES CONVERTERS MATERIAL RELATED REGULATION Environmental and safety performance CEN TC 350, 351 ... Occupational safety RECYCLING CHAIN OF CUSTODY

  8. RISKS and OPPORTUNITIES RISKS OPPORTUNITIES RESOURCE EFFICIENCY CARBON EFFICIENCY LIFE CYCLE THINKING • SUBSTITUTION RISK • SUPPLY RISK • PERCEPTION RISK

  9. 3 PILLAR STRATEGY OF CEI-BOIS

  10. A. SOURCING & SUPPLY

  11. B. TRANSFORMATION & REGULATORY

  12. C. DEMAND SIDE STIMULI

  13. P • Cfr. Challenges / Threats in the WPM Industry • BIO-MASSCompetition from Renewable Energy • REGULATIONSTimber Chain of Custody/ Certification • COMPETITION From Plastics & Corrugated Material • GREEN TAXESWooden Products & Packaging Waste • ISPM15 Extension to Intra-European flows !?

  14. 1. BIOMASS COMPETITION Source: Indufor study

  15. FUTURE BIOMASS COMPETITION

  16. BIO ECONOMY • July 2013 : Commission approves Joint Undertaking with 3,8 billion € funding • 1 billion € EU funding (Horizon 2020) • 2,8 billion € Industry funding • PPP BRIDGE: project preparation • Biobased Industries Consortium

  17. CEI-Bois & biomass competition

  18. 2. EUTR – effective since March 1st • EUTR: issues with risk assessment mgt • Demand for country specific guidance • EU reluctant to categorize country risks • ETTF proposes to draft “best practices”

  19. ISO Chain of Custody Requirements • NWIP launched by DIN/ABNT in June • Scope unclear: CoC or also Sustainable Forest Management • Joint Statement FSC-PEFC rejecting NWIP • August 28th: positive vote • September 17-18: PG 287 • Refine scope • Liaison (PEFC, FSC, ...)

  20. 3. RECYCLING AND WFD • Consultation on update Wasteframe Directive – CEI-Bois answer with FEFPEB input • EIP – Raw Materials: potential projects for recycling and cascade use

  21. CEI-BOIS & FEFPEB IN CONJUNCTION

  22. FEFPEB = IMPORTANT MEMBER • PACKAGING & PALLETS represent 20 - 25% downstream use of sawn timber (24 mio m³) • 9952 companies (manufacturing, repair) • 92.000 employees – 300.000 indirect • FEFPEB’s presence in CEI-Bois Board (Marc MICHIELSENS)
