FLEGT licences are documents issued by timber-producing countries that have ratified a Voluntary Partnership Agreement with the EU, aiming at reducing illegal logging by strengthening sustainable and legal forest management, improving governance, and promoting trade in legally produced timber.
FLEGT works through Voluntary Partnership Agreements (VPAs), which are legally binding trade agreements between the European Union (EU) and a timber-producing country outside the EU.
The purpose of a VPA is to ensure that timber and timber products exported to the EU come from legal sources. The agreements also help timber-exporting countries stop illegal logging by improving regulation and governance of the forest sector.
