The only item on the agenda was to prepare the First Meeting of European Poplar Producers, to be held in Valladolid-Spain on March 9th 2010. Discussions dealt with the current availability and demand for wood in Europe, specifically about the trends in consumption and production of poplar wood until 2020, and the urgent need to promote the cultivation of poplar to meet the needs of the market.

The conclusions and recommendations arising from this preparatory meeting will be communicated in Valladolid-Spain during the First Meeting of European Poplar Producers, on March 9th, where the major players in Europe are expected to participate (local and regional official forestry representatives, poplar producers’ associations, public and private owners of poplar plantations, industrial manufacturers of poplar-based wooden products, etc).
