For many years and through different agencies we have been asking for the labelling of timber to first state the species name, second the point of origin and third that the timber has been sustainably grown. The third point may be moot depending on how that definition is written and by whom. But naming the species and point of origin is not rocket science or ambiguous. Maybe commercially and politically inconvenient. Well yes but I suspect that the retailers are more trepidatious than others.
