- Termination of the Voluntary Partnership Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Cameroon on forest law enforcement governance and trade in timber and derived products to the Union.
Parliament adopted a resolution backing the termination of the EU-Cameroon Voluntary Partnership Agreement on forest law enforcement, governance and trade in timber. The agreement, in force since 2011, aimed to ensure all Cameroonian timber exports to the EU are legal, but Cameroon has not fully set up the required legality assurance system. Parliament's position supports ending the agreement, as Cameroon has not met its obligations and forest governance has worsened.
