What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Cameroon and Mozambique called for a rebalancing of global timber trade rules at the Global Legal & Sustainable Timber Forum in Macau. Cameroon stated that increased compliance costs, audit requirements, and legal rules in destination markets, particularly the European Union, are straining the wood processing industry. This combination of factors has resulted in business closures, job losses, and stalled investment in local processing.
