The workshop on "EU policy options for the protection of European Forests against harmful Impacts" provided valuable input for the development of policy options addressing to different extents the demands for a Community approach to forest protection in the EU.
The final report, submitted to the Commission in September 2009, contains in-depth analysis and evaluations of different policy options concerning how best to protect European forests at the Community level and concludes with different scenarios for future decision-making, taking feasibility and effectiveness of the options into account. On 8 October 2009 the results of the project were presented in Brussels at the Standing Forestry Committee (SFC), the representative board of EU Member States for forest policy.
