This website has been set up to exchange clear, concise and up to date information, including joint North-South civil society position papers on the Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA) negotiations. The site is a one-stop-shop used by civil society, NGOs, the media, the timber industry and governments involved or interested in these negotiations.

Individual country pages track the progress of the VPA negotiations for each country which has expressed an interest in a VPA. These are supported by background pages and links to documents on other key sites such as the EU Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT).

Loggingoff.info is co-managed by a group of NGOs from European and timber-producing countries. Documents available on this site do not necessarily represent the views of all the organisations co-managing the site. The author of each document is indicated next its download button. The co-managers cannot be held responsible documents they did not author, nor for the content of external sites accessed from this site.

If you would like to know more about the site, or to add documents or comments please see the About page.
