The AGRI “EU Forest Strategy report” on which ENVI is to deliver its opinion, aims at presenting findings and delivering recommendations in order to help determine priorities for a new EU Forest Strategy which will be published in the first quarter of 2021.

In its opinion to be voted on 16 June, ENVI considers the need for a holistic and consistent forest strategy that enhances the multifunctional role of forests and the forest-based sector in the EU. The new strategy should promote the far-reaching societal, economic and environmental benefits of forests. The opinion also stresses the concern over the health condition and resilience of forests in many parts of Europe.
