Summary:
STT reports on the carbon sink decision made by EU environment ministers. The Finnish Forest Industries thinks the decision is not very good or balanced and places the member states in unequal positions. The organisation assesses that the previous decision by the European Parliament made much more sense. According to the Parliament’s decision, the use of wood can be increased if wood assets keep growing. The negotiations will continue between the European Commission, the member states, and the Parliament. The negotiations are expected to be difficult.
