The Timber and Timber Products and FLEGT (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 ensure the continued operability of both EU and UK legislation. It establishes a regime prohibiting the placement of illegally harvested timber on the market and implements a licensing scheme to enhance the availability of legally harvested timber. These Regulations introduce changes to environmental protection legislation, specifically focusing on amendments to laws concerning the import and market entry of timber and timber products. This assurance remains in effect following the UK's departure from the EU.
