Dutch traders exposed by EIA are facing legal action for importing illicit teak from Myanmar
The crackdown on Myanmar teak in the Netherlands has expanded to include criminal prosecutions against a range of companies and individuals, EIA has learnt.
The action also involves companies that have attempted to circumvent the European Union Timber Regulation (EUTR) by routing timber through the Czech Republic.
This follows years of work by EIA Forests campaigners laying complaints against Dutch companies, providing information to the Dutch authorities and exposing circumvention of the law.
