The objective was to lay the foundation for terminating the current dissociation with the Schweighofer Group. First measures comprised defining the stakeholder work groups that are supposed to serve as the FSC's advisory team during this process. Furthermore, a first draft of the general conditions that the Schweighofer Group must meet was presented to the participants.

At the same time, Holzindustrie Schweighofer is commiting to the protection of Romania's primeval forests. Areas that have relevance concerning nature conservation and are owned by Schweighofer will be evaluated. According to details provided, the reevaluation will exceed the statutory extent. An expert study will serve to locate those areas.
