As of July 2014, all freight traffic of harvested timber must have supporting documentation establishing its origin (RossiyskayaGazeta, 2014).

The key themes of the session were the contributions of forests to a green economy, domestic and international markets for timber products, and sustainable forest management as a way of addressing climate change (UNECE, 2014).
