ANNEX IU.K.PARTNER COUNTRIES AND THEIR DESIGNATED LICENSING AUTHORITIES

a

According to Article 4(4) of the VPA, a Licence Information Unit (LIU) has been established by Indonesia to serve as a contact point for communications between EU Member States competent authorities and the Indonesian Licensing Authorities. The LIU is an information management unit which validates information concerning V-Legal Document/FLEGT licence issuance. The LIU is also responsible for general information exchange on the TLAS, and receives and stores relevant data and information on the issuance of certificates of legality and FLEGT licences. It also responds to queries from competent authorities of trading partners and stakeholders. Some of the verification bodies, which are conformity assessment bodies accredited by the Indonesian National Accreditation Body (KAN), are authorized and overseen by the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry and Environment to act as licensing authorities. An updated list of authorized licensing authorities is available through the LIU and also at the link: http://silk.dephut.go.id/index.php/info/lvlk.]
