Impact assessment of FMM for the forest sector (scientific paper)

- Forest sectorial specific assessment: The first sector to be assessed in terms of the impacts of adopting alternative FMMs, is that of the forest based industrial sector and the associated future production of wood based commodities (sawn wood, pulp, paper, fibre board, particle boards, biochemical, bio-materials, etc.). As the forest-based industrial sector is currently the main consumer of harvested wood products, we will assess the impact of adopting the alternative FMMs in terms of the resultant implications for the various industrial sectors for each ALTERFOR country and each EU 28 Member State. Key aspects that will be highlighted for the various sectors include the impact on the production of commodities, trade between countries and regions, price developments, and employment.
