Licensing Procedure. As the designated licensing authority, ▇▇▇▇ will be responsible for issuing licences for all consignments. ▇▇▇▇ will rely on information from TVD confirming legal compliance of the shipment in question. The detailed management and licence issuance procedures will be developed during the pilot phase and will build on the existing ▇▇▇▇ procedures for permit issuance. The system will thus enable ▇▇▇▇ to issue consignment based licences to be issued for wood products exported against the legality definition. Data to be reconciled along the process chain is laid out in Table 1 as well as verification of procedures in Table 2. At operational level, ▇▇▇▇ will reconcile the following: verification of documentation including production declar ations and permits; field inspections to ensure compliance with the documented record; log and timber product tracking from source to point of export; verification of royalty and other payments; and random checks on logging areas, truck loads and processing plants. These checks will be supported by the TVD clearance to allow for issuance of the FLEGT licence. This will further be developed at the piloting stage. The FLEGT licensing authority will have access to reconciled data at the various control points to enable it issue the licences. Licences issued by the authority will be randomly checked by the TVD to ensure that only export parcels that have complied with the legal requirements for sourcing harvest, transport, processing, trade and meeting its financial/tax obligations.
