The United States Department of Commerce and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative will host an in-person session and webinar to brief the forestry industry on the potential outcomes of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement.
The TPP has the potential to become one of the largest trade agreements in history. It was signed by all 12 participating nations earlier this year, and would go into effect with Congressional approval.
The TPP will have an impact on forestry issues relating to new market access, illegal logging and supply chains, according to the American Forest & Paper Association.
The briefing will take place at AFPA headquarters in Washington D.C. June 9 from 3–4 p.m. ET. Those who cannot attend in person will be able to join a webinar.
Interested parties must RSVP to AFPA’s Gillian Hunt via email or (202) 463-2599.
