This Parliament has a duty to strengthen and expand the scope and effectiveness of the bill. So it certainly puts in place a framework and puts the onus on proving legality on importers, exporters, log traders, and primary processors, who will be required to establish due-diligence systems. It allows for the recognition of private certification systems, such as the one organised by the Forests Stewardship Council. It defines timber as "FMPI legally harvested" if the harvester has the right to harvest the wood, has the necessary legal authority to exercise that right, and doesn't contravene the harvest laws of the place or country of harvest. But this definition is too weak because, in terms of the applicable legislation in the country of harvest, if you have loose legislation, official documents won't often provide adequate proof that it's being logged legally without threat, intimidation, violence, or abuse of the rights of indigenous people. There needs to be a look behind that country-of-origin documentation. There needs to be additional investment into site visits, third-party auditing, verifying species and the origin of timber through DNA and isotope testing.
