CEI-BOISEUROPEAN WOOD WORKING INDUSTRY’S STRATEGY AND

ACTIVITIESPhilip BUISSERET, SG CEI-BOIS

INTERPAL Bordeaux, October 18th 2013

CEI-Bois

: the solution

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

Who is CEI-Bois?

CEI-Bois

: the solution

What is CEI-Bois: platform and network

CEI-Bois

: the solution

CEI-Bois compared to FEFPEBCEI-BOIS

• Overall representation for a material (wood)

• Deals with horizontal, material-linked issues

• Common denominator of different interests

FEFPEB• Dedicated to represent one

type of application/product• Deals with vertical, product-

linked issues (focus)• More shared interests and

issues

MARKET

PERCEPTION

MARKET SHARE IMAGE & PERCEPTION

Policy initiatives to increase demand side

New markets:

- trade - Innovations - Substitution

Secure Level Playing Field

EU institutions and stakeholders (B to A)

- Forests & wood extraction - Deforestation - Formaldehyde

Quid BtoB?

Quid BtoC?

COMPETITIVENESS REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

Industrial policy (reindustrialization)

Access to capital, qualified labor, raw material at competitive cost

WOOD MOBILIZATION & SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY

Foster recognition of environmental and technical performance of wood

- Life Cycle thinking (LCA, EPD, Wood

PCR, …) - BIOGENIC CARBON

- VOC

A. SOURCING & SUPPLY AREA INSTRUMENT OUTPUT

RESPONSIBLE SOURCING

- EU FORESTRY STRATEGY

BEST PRACTICES FOR WOOD MOBILIZATION

BIOMASS SUSTAINABILITY

- SUSTAINABILITY CRITERIA (ILUC, DG ENER, CEN TC 411)

UNIFORM OR USE SPECIFIC CRITERIA?CARBON ACCOUNTING?

CHAIN OF CUSTODY + EUTR

- ISO Project Group 287 UNIFORM CoC RULES

EOL MANAGEMENT & RECYCLING

- EIP RAW MATERIALS- WASTE FRAMEWORK DIRECTIVE

WOOD RECYCLING- Projects - Incentives

C. DEMAND SIDE STIMULI AREA INSTRUMENT OUTPUT

GREEN BUILDING; CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION

- Sustainable buildings; - Competitiveness Construction Sector; - Energy Efficient Buildings

Incentives for sustainable (green) energy efficient buildings

INNOVATION - Forest Based Sector Technology Platform- Horizon 2020 budget

More WWI projects to be financed with EU funds

SUBSTITUTION - DG CLIMA Study on substitution high carbon products

Stimulate use of Harvested Wood Products

EXPORT & TRADE - Trade negotiations - Missions for Growth

Reduce trade barriersNew export markets

CEI-Bois

: the solution

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

CEI-Bois

: the solution

CEI-Bois & biomass competition

Wood mobilization (Task Force)

Model for cascading use decisions

no subsidies, support or incentives

Sustainabity Criteria for sourcing and use

Chain of Custody requirements

CEI-Bois

: the solution

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”

CEI-Bois

: the solution

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, ...)

CEI-Bois

: the solution

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

CEI-Bois

: the solution

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
