Cei-Bois: the Latvian Forest Industries Federation decided to re-join

The European Confederation of the Woodworking Industries held its first General Assembly meeting of the year on 8th June 2021. Due to the ongoing Covid-19 restrictions the meeting was held online. The Latvian Forest Industries Federation decided to re-join CEI-Bois as a Member in 2021. Kristaps Klauss, Executive Director of the Latvian Forest Industries Federation recalled that although there is no doubt that wood in construction is overall perceived as a climate friendly material compared to other construction products, ongoing discussions at EU level raise concerns on future raw material supply. CEI-Bois now counts 22 European and national organisations from 16 countries. 
The winter CEI-Bois General Assembly meeting will take place on the 26th of November 2021 in London, in the framework of the “Festival of Wood from the Forests” hosted by the UK Timber Trade Federation
