 ROBIN WOOD - Report on the Admissibility under International Law of National Bans on Tropical Timber Use Imposed by ...
The effect of the questionable national bans on tropical timber use in German road and waterway construction was an increase in the use of domestic timbers.
Consequently, it must be concluded that tropical timber and domestic timber are "like products" for the purposes of bans on use by public authorities, and that general national bans on use thus infringe the principle of national treatment.
The purchase of timber or tropical timber for construction or improvement measures for German roads or waterways are government procurement measures.

 ITTIS - Country Profiles for Rainforests and Tropical Timber Industries   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
THE KOREAN peninsula, comprising South and North Korea, is located in far-east Asia, bordered to the north mostly by China and partly by Russia and separated from Japan to the east by the Korean Strait.
Most domestically grown timbers are of small or medium diameter, due largely to the young age of the forests, and are unsuitable for plywood production; only about 5% of total timber demand is met by domestic sources.
However, tropical timber imports have declined since then: they made up 73% of total log imports in 1985 but only 13% in 1999; in the main, market share has been lost to pines from New Zealand and Chile.
