5 A reliable partner at the crossroads of European policy making European Council European Commission CEI-Bois and member federations European Parliament Exchange of views and information Critical evaluation and commenting Fact-based positions and policy proposals Co-operation with other forest-based sector organisations EESC and other institutions

6 CEI-Bois focus Secure and strenghten the competitiveness of the woodworking industries Stress the role of wood and wood-based products in sustainable development Further the use of wood in construction and interior applications

7 The EU woodworking and furniture industries Economic 201 billion/year 365,000 companies Mainly SME Social 2.4 million workers Strong in rural areas, Major contributor to rural development Environmental Sustainable raw material supply Wood = only naturally renewable material Growing forest area and growing stock in Europe Low energy consumption

19 Wood Products Global Markets developments & trends

20 World shaped by political boundaries

21 World shaped by population Source: Worldmapper, 2009

22 As shaped by forest products production Sources: Worldmapper & FAOStat, 2009

23 Shaped by wood and paper consumption Sources: Worldmapper & FAOStat, 2009

24 As shaped by forest products exports Sources: Worldmapper & FAOStat, 2009

25 As shaped by forest products imports Sources: Worldmapper & FAOStat, 2009

26 Comments The forest products markets are undergoing fundamental changes Formerly net exporters became net importers (USA) Exporting countries building domestic consumption But as evidenced by these maps, the world is far from equality Unequal distribution of resources (forest and financial) and populations ensures inequality and trade Changes happening fast, with big impacts

27 Structural change in forest sector 4 underlying reasons Downturn in demand forcing rationalization of production capacity Globalization of forest products markets, e.g. China s rise as a major provider of forest products in the global markets Climate change policies: escalation of wood energy production, consumption and trade International control of origins of wood to ensure sustainable and legal production.

28 Recent developments in key wood sectors

34 Plywood consmption in EU

35 Market situation for parquet: Production

36 Market situation for parquet: Consumption

37 Pellets (Aebiom)

38 Conclusions Woodworking and furniture sector have still not fully recovered from the crisis Subdued expectations for 2012 No immediate strong recovery expected (impact of construction activity, financial crisis, consumer confidence, ) High raw material and energy costs

39 EU economic sentiment indicator

40 Industrial confidence indicator

41 Construction confidence indicator

42 Sector is confident about the future Policy providing opportunities Role of wood construction in meeting greenhouse gas reduction targets (Roadmap 2050) EU policies on raw materials Accounting for carbon storage and substitution effects under Lulucf

43 Issues to be solved/managed Implementation of EUTR (European Union Timber Regulation) Trade issues Russian export duties / WTO accession Tariff and non-tariff barriers for EU products in third countries Roundwood exports to China
