months:
- A gap analysis of the standard setting, accreditation and certification procedures of both systems, conducted by an independent party and with feedback both from LEI and FSC.
- An analysis of the compatibility of the LEI standards as national FSC Forest Management standards, conducted by a team jointly appointed by LEI and FSC.
- An analysis of the compatibility of the LEI and FSC chain of custody standards, conducted by a team jointly appointed by LEI and FSC.
- An assessment on challenges and opportunities for co-labeling of LEI and FSC certified products for domestic and export markets.
- A thorough assessment of the challenges and opportunities for LEI and FSC certification of plantations in Indonesia, reviewed by an expert panel jointly established by both parties.
- LEI and FSC will exchange information and lessons learnt on certification of community based forests.
Both parties recognize the important
position Indonesian forests hold with regards to the world’s Tropical
Forests and take with this collaboration their responsibility to
contribute to the increase of responsible forestry in the tropics.
