Illegal logging is a widespread problem in many countries of South East Asia, while the length and
complexity of supply chains throughout the region creates significant problems in establishing traceability
to legal origin. On the other hand, the largest SE Asian supplying countries, Indonesia and Malaysia, have
invested considerable resources in ambitious programmes to verify legality and sustainability of their wood
product exports. Most forest areas in West Malaysia, the main source of Malaysian wood exports to the
EU, is certified by the third party Malaysian Timber Certification System (MTCS), now endorsed by
PEFC. Indonesia has made a commitment to extend its SVLK system, a national third party certification
framework, to all wood product exports within the next two years
