| dcterms.abstract | This report reviews and assesses progress in the comparability and equivalence of forest certification systems, particularly in view of the promotion of tropical timber certification. It is needed because of the proliferation of both certification systems and the market requirements for such systems in the public and private sectors of tropical timber importing countries. | en |

| is.evaluation.quotes | As certification is seen as an initiative to shift the power from the government to other stakeholders (Cashore et al. 2006), it has become one of the factors why governments have taken steps to establish technical and regulatory tools to support SFM. As an example, in Gabon such tools were introduced when the first certification assessment failed (Leroy Gabon) casting doubts on the credibility of the regulatory system to ensure SFM (Eba'a Atyi 2006) but also on the suitability of certification as an instrument for African forests in the current situation (Lescuyer 2006). | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | FSC is strongly supported by leading international environmental NGOs, which is attractive to large forest industrycorporations and internationally operating trading companies. On the other hand, FSC has not beenable to mobilize large-scale participation of small-scale private forest owners and, in spite of being theleading system among tropical timber producers; its progress is still limited in developing countrieswith few exceptions. | |
