Ban Illegal Timber! / myLot

Ban Illegal timber - Illegal logging is destroying the world's ancient forests and accelerating climate change. In July the European Commission delayed a vote on proposed legislation to combat illegal logging till September.

This is an outrageous decision - every day the Commission fails act responsibly illegally sourced timber products from critical forests like the Amazon, the Congo and Indonesia continue to pour into Europe.

Please write to President Barroso to increase the pressure for a strong EU Timber law without delay.
