El 12 de septiembre de 2022 tuvo lugar en Tegucigalpa la reunión inicial del Comité Conjunto de Aplicación (CCA) para la implementación del Acuerdo Voluntario de Asociación (AVA) entre Honduras y la UE para la Aplicación de las Leyes, Gobernanza y Comercio Forestales (FLEGT por sus siglas en inglés).

El CCA acordó priorizar acciones con resultados concretos a corto plazo. Esto incluye el desarrollo e implementación de un sistema de trazabilidad para el transporte de madera. La ayuda de la tecnología permitirá hacer frente de manera eficaz a la falsificación de la documentación de transporte. El CCA también acordó acelerar el desarrollo e implementación de procedimientos simplificados para la aprobación de planes de manejo forestal y la recolección de productos forestales.

El acta de la reunión está disponible públicamente en el memorando.

El CCA supervisa el AVA-FLEGT y está copresidido por el Instituto Nacional de Conservación y Desarrollo Forestal, Áreas Protegidas y Vida Silvestre y la Unión Europea. Incluye además representantes de varios ministerios e instituciones gubernamentales, el sector privado, incluidos pequeños propietarios forestales, organizaciones de la sociedad civil, pueblos indígenas y afrodescendientes y socios donantes que apoyan la implementación del Acuerdo.
