It's getting late and my eyes are pretty much going into "auto close" mode, so if this entry makes little sense or is full of typo's, sorry.
Back in 2004, Greenpeace made accusations that during the renovation of the European Union HQ in Brussels, illegally obtained timber was used. The EU Commission claimed this was not the case.
Today the Commission admits (Dutch) illegal timber was used (English) indeed, and one company has been fined 750 euro.
Put in a 1000 square meter wooden floor using illegal timber, get fined 750 euro 2 years after. That will really deter any offender from using, selling and supporting illegal logging! At least the Commission made the - wise - decision not to remove the current wooden floors and replace it with FSC labeled timber, as it wouldn't undo the damage already done.
I think a proper fine would be to calculate the cost for completing the project using FSC wood and to double that to get the final amount to be fined. That would take out much the gambling or desire to risk using illegal hardwoods.
Before you shrug it off as a faraway from my bed subject, try looking at it from a global perspective : Illegal forestation -> less forests -> less water retention -> earth slides and barren lands -> poor economic and social conditions -> refugees -> immigration to the rich Western countries. Where you probably are located if you're reading this on your computer, in your nice cozy home.
Before anyone steps up and claims I'm cutting corners in the above sequence of cause and effect, you may very well be correct. I'm trying to make a point here, not prove it scientifically. If you're interested in the cause and effect of things, do some research.
