Minister Klöckner, stop the illegal timber from Myanmar!

Huge amount of timber from Myanmar is being cut down and sold especially to Germany, where it is used for luxury yachts but also for training ships such as the Gorch Fock. EU Regulation prohibits the import of illegal teak and hardwood from Myanmar, but the minister responsible for the implementation, Mrs Klöckner (CDU) is constantly ignoring it. The sell of precious wood from Myanmar’s virgin forest is very lucrative for the military junta. The money goes for weapons. A total disaster sponsered also by European money! https://news.mongabay.com/2021/05/trafficking-of-banned-myanmar-teak-lands-german-company-with-4m-fine/
