Myanmar timber enterprise to respond to Danish teak sanctions
Danish authorities have made a ruling to place injunctions on all seven Danish operators bringing Myanmar teak into the Scandinavian country. Myanmar Timber Enterprise has plans to respond to the sanctions placed on the entire Myanmar teak industry, according to U Khin Maung Kyi, deputy general manager (extraction) of MTE. “We will somehow respond to the sanction very soon. It [Denmark’s sanction] will have a bad reputation on Myanmar teak but we can handle that, I believe. “MTE and the forest department will respond under the direction of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation [MONREC],” he said.
