《欧盟木材法规》尽职调查义务：一种恰当的手段

The document outlines the mandatory due diligence framework of the EUTR, which requires operators to collect information, assess the risk of illegal timber, and mitigate those risks. It argues that a risk-based approach is necessary because absolute certainty regarding timber legality is often unattainable due to information gaps and distance from harvesting sites. The guide emphasizes that while the legal framework is fixed, the specific measures an operator takes should be proportionate to the identified risk level, product complexity, and available information.

• The EUTR establishes a mandatory three-step due diligence framework for operators: first, obtaining information that demonstrates compliance with the laws of the country of harvest; second, assessing the risk of illegal timber in the supply chain; and third, mitigating any non-negligible risks identified.
• The level of due diligence required is flexible and should be proportionate to the risk; for example, operators should intensify mitigation if documents are unreliable or if the product is highly complex, whereas they may reduce scrutiny if the harvesting country has strong institutional oversight.
• While certified timber generally carries a lower risk of illegality, certification does not automatically guarantee EUTR compliance; operators must still conduct due diligence and evaluate the reliability of the certification tool against legal standards.
