This article attempts to examine European trade policy regarding non-wood forest products (NWFP) from the perspective of the EU legislature, with the hypothesis that there is little EU trade policy promoting NWFP production and imports from other countries to the EU. The examination was done by using document analysis as method to examine public records in the EUR-Lex database containing the keyword non-wood forest products. In its findings, the article presents relevant paragraphs containing the keyword together with contextual information and analysis. The article concludes that its hypothesis is correct in that there is little policy related to NWFP trade and NWFPs tend to be treated as simply another forest product, not as a particular type of forest product with merits of its own (such as environmental and socioeconomic benefits). The article ends with suggestions for policy and action to support international trade in NWFPs.
