    The Swedish Forest Industries Federation is the organisation for Swedish pulp, paper and woodworking industries. The Swedish Wood department and the secretariat for BioInnovation and Mistra Digital Forests are also parts of the Federation.

    The Swedish Forest Industries Federation represents some fifty pulp and paper manufacturers owned by some twenty groups of companies and about 120 wood mechanical companies owned by some 60 companies, as well as about 40 companies that have close ties with the production of pulp and paper or sawn timber manufacture.

    The Swedish forest-based sector employs 120 000 people directly as employees or as sub-contractors. The export value is SEK 184 billion (2023).

    The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.

    1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
