Greenpeace activists spray painted wood from Dutch timber trader Emmerik with "100% crime" to make sure they would not be able to sell it.In original language:Activisten spuiten tekst op Illegaal Hout van handelaar EmmerikGreenpeace eist de voorraad illegaal hout op van houthandelaar Emmerik in Nijmegen. Het houtbedrijf is in bezit van een voorraad Chinees multiplex, gemaakt van Bintangor en Red Canarium hout, dat op grote schaal illegaal gekapt wordt in Papoea Nieuw Guinea. Deze actie is een vervolg op een eerdere actie. Vorig jaar constateerde Greenpeace al dat Emmerik dit illegale hout verhandelt, maar toen verzekerde het bedrijf dat dit geen kwade opzet was en dat ze onmiddellijk zouden stoppen met de illegale handel. Het aanwezige hout is bespoten met de tekst "100% crime", oftewel "100% crimineel" om te voorkomen dat het alsnog op de markt terecht komt. Emmerik is niet ingegaan op het aanbod van Greenpeace om het aanwezige illegale hout om te ruilen voor FSC-hout dat Greenpeace had meegebracht.Locations:Europe-NetherlandsDate:23 Apr, 2007Credit:© Greenpeace / Flip FranssenMaximum size:2848px X 4288pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Commercial logging-Deforestation-Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-Forests (campaign title)-Greenpeace activists-Illegal-Illegal logging-KWCI (GPI)-Labelling actions-Painting actions-Timber-Timber industryShoot:Action against Illegal Timber in the NetherlandsGreenpeace demanded the stock of illegal timber of Dutch timber trader Emmerik. The company was found in possession of a large stockpile of Chinese multiplex, made of Bintangor and Red Canarium, which is illegally logged on large scale in Papua New Guinea. This action is a follow-up to a former action during which Greenpeace already took notice of the illegal trade and requested the company to stop immediately, which until now they haven't. Greenpeace activists spray painted wood from Dutch timber trader Emmerik with "100% crime" to make sure they would not be able to sell it. Emmerik did not respond to Greenpeace's offer to exchange the illegal wood for sustainable FSC-wood that Greenpeace had brought along. *The same day this action against illegal logging was continued in the Hague, the Netherlands.
