EUTR Platform This website currently sets out the concept of the EUTR Platform, a project which aims to support the EU-wide implementation and enforcement of the European Union Timber Regulation (EUTR) which comes into force on the 3rd of March 2013. The core strategy of this platform is to provide a common and reliable source of information on timber trade and legality for all stakeholders to facilitate the implementation and enforcement of the EUTR by providing acknowledged references to feed into risk assessment and support risk mitigation procedures.

The practical idea is to set up an EUTR platform to act as a neutral intelligence and analytical centre making information from a wide range of sources freely available via one web-based information platform for the benefit of all actors involved in its implementation. 		Broken link
