\n

This is to inform all stakeholders that a 12-member Technical Working Group (TWG) comprising representatives from multi-stakeholder groups, i.e. environmental, social, economic and relevant government agencies, nominated during respective regional consultations in Sabah, Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia, have been formed to develop a standard for the certification of forest plantations, i.e. the Malaysian Criteria and Indicators for Forest Management Certification (Forest Plantations) or in short MC&I(Forest Plantations).<\/p>\n

The need to develop a standard for the certification of forest plantations in Malaysia was deliberated at the various meetings of the multi-stakeholder National Steering Committee (NSC) including the convening of a National Workshop on Standard for Certification of Plantation Forests.  This led to the decision to form a special TWG to undertake the task of developing the standard.  This is in view of the growing importance of forest plantations as a source of logs, and in providing raw materials to the furniture, medium density fibreboard (MDF) and moulding sectors in Malaysia, as well as the fact some of these products have been exported to socially and environmentally sensitive markets where certification is increasingly demanded.<\/p>\n

The 12-member TWG held its meeting on 5-6 July 2006. For more information related to the development of the MC&I(Forest Plantations), all stakeholders are requested to contact the Members of the TWG from their respective regions or the NSC Secretariat. Contact details of the Members of the TWG and the NSC Secretariat are as shown in Table 1 while the proposed schedule of implementation of activities of the TWG is as shown in Table 2.<\/p>\n
