Certification of the paper and printing sector in the Baltic area is taking off: Baltic printing houses may now offer FSC certified publications, which are printed on paper delivered by local certified paper merchants.

NEPCon is now providing certification solutions to operations managing more than 5 million hectares of FSC certified forest in Russia. In all likelihood, that's just the beginning. Russia may become the next world champion in terms of FSC certified forest area.

NEPCon is co-launching a new project which aims to empower local NGOs to promote sustainable development in Belarus. The project has special focus on the role of NGOs in promoting credible eco-labelling schemes. 

The FSC has launched a revised draft version of its Policy for the Association with FSC (Version 3-0 of FSC-POL-20-002).

Recently, an FSC certificate covering nearly 814,000 hectares was issued by the Rainforest Alliance for the company ZAO Zapkarelles, the majority share of which is owned by the FLEXA group.

FSC-certified companies should be aware that the new set of rules for the promotional use of the FSC trademarks, TMK is mandatory as of 1 January 2008.
