“The collective expertise of EOS’s members provides a unique source of information both for and on the industry; coordinating essential exchanges of experience and knowledge among its members, the ability to provide technical assistance to legislators and to identify independent experts on specific issues. Through its member countries, EOS represents some 32 000 sawmills in 13 countries across Europe manufacturing sawn boards, timber frames, glulam, decking, flooring, joinery, fencing and several other wood products. Together they represent 75 % of the total European sawn wood output and a turnover of over 50 billion EUR, creating over 230 000 job opportunities annually in the EU.”
