4. EOS/ETTF be prepared, for increased demand for HT/KD wood
5. EU Commission make EU Funds available as well to SME’s
6. Unite our lobbing efforts to ensure that EU Regulations and
Directives / Decisions are reasonable, feasible and affordable.
7. That WOOD is available, renewable, carbon-sink, bio-degradable:
a guarantee for a prosperous future of our Industry & Beautiful
