The FLEGT VPA process in Malaysia - next steps
15/07/2011 English Civil society publications, FLEGT, Indonesia, Malaysia

Although Malaysia was one of the first countries to start negotiating a VPA, it has not yet finalised an agreement. The Ministry of Plantations Industries and Commodities never developed a proper consultation process making Malaysia the exception when compared to other VPA countries. But the signing of the VPA with Indonesia and the adoption of the EU Timber Regulation - which could have an impact on the export from Malaysia to the EU as traders may be concerned about the risk of to importing illegal timber - has now led to renewed interest in Malaysia in signing a VPA with the EU.
