"The International Tropical Timber Agreement (ITTA) is intended to internationalise the trade in legally harvested tropical timber and thus to encourage sustainability. The 2006 agreement is effective for 10 years and is reviewed every five years. In 2004, the EU adopted an action plan detailing additional measures to counter illegal felling. Regulation (EU) No 995/2010 of 20 October 2010 prohibits the placing on the internal market of timber from illegal felling. This regulation is also intended to ensure traceability and ensure that operators have an obligation to exercise diligence. When negotiating amendments to the 2006 International Tropical Timber Agreement, the European Commission should focus on the protection and sustainable management of tropical forests and on cleaning up damaged areas. Appropriate information and awareness measures are a particularly important element of this."@en1
