The project is an initiative resulting from the collaboration between three main partners involved interested in sustainable and fair timber procurement:
• ICLEI - Local GOVERNMENTS FOR SUSTAINABILITY (EU) • Fundación COPADE - Comercio Para el Desarrollo (SPA)• FSC Italy
and from the experience of two awareness raising campaigns promoted by:
The STA-EU project
The main goal To raise awareness among EU public authorities on link between sustainable public procurement (SPP) and development problems of people living in and depending from forests.
How? Promotion of Sustainable forest management and Fair Trade community certified forest products in public procurement policies and practices.

Mod. 1 –Timber market and the public sector [interactive] The importance of the public sector in the timber
sectorGroup exercise (10 mins)
• who already supplies products for the public sector directly or indirectly?
• Which products? • What is the business share?
Why public authorities & forests products? Market opportunity: In the EU there
are about 200 000 PAs which purchase 19% of the timber and paper sold in Europe
Drivers for good practices: PAs can give good example to the private sector and consumers [drivers]
PAs can mobilize greater support for actions against forest related poverty and sustainable forest management (e.g. financing development cooperation projects in forestry sector: FSC, Carbon, Fair Trade).
The importance of the public sector in the timber sector
• In Denmark, the total market for wood, wood products, furniture and paper was estimated at USD 4.5 bill. In 2004 of which nine per cent is consumed by the public sector (FAO, 2006)
• In France, the public sector market for wood used in the construction could roughly be in the range of EUR 3-5 bill. Tropical timber used in many construction and civil works uses (CIRAD, 2004).
• In Belgium the market share of public procurement in forest based products is estimated at 18% (van Orshoven, pers. comm.). (FAO, 2006)
