is wave of strikes definitely for us on our balcony. i thank you very much laura. a message from me and the news team for now i will have a work is updated for you at the top of the auto stay with us for a documentary about how the legal team to trade is attracted, pulled, and i've got them for me on the team, thanks for the floating away when it's 40 degrees celsius in the shade can be deadly during times of climate change. how do rising temperatures change our report? the internal heat, march 15th on dw,

and now we are being chased. and they are calling out of people that had we asked to be very fast check when you have reception fees, we might have to divide 40 i'm with some environmental activist somewhere in the romanian forest. we're being followed by angry, longer than me out there. oh, sure, sure. how do i love that there is another new piece of furniture made of wood and it was pretty inexpensive. position . i think i have quite a lot of wood in my apartment. and i've never given much thought to where it comes from doing that for the 2nd. the furnishings made of wood at a good price. we're not told where the wood comes from, just where the item was made. as consumers,

we usually don't think about where are would it comes from? what is supposed to be eco friendly after all. but the headlines tell a very different story. the legal logging and violence are escalating. would thieves are killing foresters? my hunt for the timber mafia, begins and romania this morning. raids on companies are taking place across the country, targeting firms of suspected of involvement in the illegal timber trade. it's a business that's worth billions. the police have given me permission to accompany the raid, but then revoked it. even though we badly need more transparency when it comes to the timber industry. the,

the carpet and mountains are home to one of your ups last and largest primeval forest. but many parts of it looked like this. it's been estimated that half of all logging in romania is illegal. and germany is one of the biggest buyers. what consumption is booming and forests are shrinking across the globe. yes, i'm not far from the ukrainian border. i need some activists. perfect . so the, the men are members of the romanian organization, agent green. they received the tip offs from the police about areas that they are the signs of a legal logging year on these areas where the law enforcement is waiting for us. now there is a very high suspicion of massive logging really lucky. we are quite

a bunch today and there is a lot of law enforcement around. but this area has a, as the story causes violence to god. the poem founded agent green because he spent years fighting the timber mafia, the global network that includes loggers traitors and corrupt officials. the activists believe that longer is, might have reused a single permit over and over logging far more trees than they were permitted to. but the local authorities don't see ida i with the activists with us. we see you're definitely mistaken. the law says, the standard practice might be clear, but sometimes there are gaps in the lowest grade zone. for me as a police officer,

it's very clear. it's all the trees are still here. where does all this timber in the sole mail come from? and why is this so much traffic on this road? awesome. that's what our task force has checking, which was cut down. and what was the purpose? so we knew what's wonderful for one day to know about that and was well, we'd like to take a look at the place you'll people are checking out. so let's go, i'll put on monday. at some point, you'll go back to your customer the the activists aren't quite buying the story. corruption is widespread in romania and the timber mafia. exploits that they bribe public officials, politicians and police officers. after the raid one police officer who had taken part in the investigation was arrested, accused of taking 300000 bureaus and bribes from a timber dealer. the active a survey, the forest from above the drone pilot doesn't want to show his face out of concern

for his safety at the bottom of the river here. if i see anything wrong with the course on this side. but if you just just go above our line, might like a 100 meters or less. you can see the big logging at the top and it goes around the . so it's not easy to get here. if, if this hard to document how much timber is being logged here, and we're not even in the remotest forest of romania yet. just imagine how complicated this would be in other locations. is this on that and then on next to the trees which are being marked for the cutting throws auto trays that has

been cut already or about 3 months ago. that's how the science looks like. but they are not doing any single paper. so they are missing and being caught illegally and there is no mark around them. environment is monitoring the illegal logging can be dangerous. as gabrielle po knows all too well the court. there were plenty of life threatening events. i was beaten all wants to that, and actually there was a one time when they really thought they, they accuse me because i was not moving anymore by chance. i survived. but my body's scaring deep once and i basically no longer have a bone in my body, which was not broken. that attack happened in 2015 phone and his team from agent greenwood investigating illegal logging in a nature reserve when they were attacked by a group of men in the phone

was wearing a body camera at least 6 foresters had been killed in romania over the last 10 years of the government and law enforcement are supposed to protect romanians natural resources. instead, people like gabrielle poland, risk their lives to save the old growth forests. romania joined the european union in 2007 in 2020 the you put romania on notice for failing to protect its forest. but as of september 2023. the you hasn't taken legal action . the next day we had out to another location on the way we passed piles of log the birch trees trees this size, or at least 100 years old. and they are essential to the local eco system. and

old trees also store more carbon this forest is managed by a room seized by the state forest administration has been dogged by accusations of corruption. one employee told me that his boss threatened him for refusing bribes. today the police aren't accompanying us. so whenever we stop, we don't leave the guys before turning the cars around. okay, awesome, i'm local to them. i have to to, to, to one. so i want to know what am i so we say to get a with the let's see where they are. so it was very close to, to do what like look at what huge trees they had here. this is a beautiful mix for a typical order. says we in a really nice forest. you are the low called the drag industries through

the have us the yeah, a cooling all the vegetation it including the, the new generation of threes. you're not supposed to do industrial operations like this. you're supposed to cut one piece of the time. not drag everything together, destroying or the generation to sort of it's beyond the legal log and use. nobody's allowed or not allowed to cut. it's, they're working like they hate. the for is, this is a day by station. this is full for destruction of the entire how beat that of course we had their way the activists want to gather evidence and confront the longer that's right. now, hello, we was sent to you by booker is because of the rate the, the authorization for this area has expired. but i saw that it listed the date of december 31st. so there's a discrepancy once you've spent the funding. that's not our problem.

maybe there's an error in the system or something like that, but we are 100 percent in the clear temper has become such a big deal. it's under even more scrutiny than drug surveys. we can hardly do our jobs anymore. i don't know because i've never thought so. you've destroyed everything here. everything the way you doing this. it's just a go. it's a little more hide and destroy and i think this is a start dig. they look at this tree, you cut it down even though it's more than 200 years old. you're not supposed to be here in the 1st place and part, you know, you're all, but i caught up with a sudden we think they look then the longer is realize the man they're talking to isn't here on official business. he mention my name. they've realized he's the environmental activist gabrielle, upon the 1st 1st the police going these very dangerous. you

mention my name, therefore, i couldn't believe this. there is a bounty bryce on my head if they catch me, they kill me. whoever gets my head gets a lot of money and now we are being chased and they are calling people ahead. we have to be very fast and is more worried than i've ever seen him. and his fear is contagious. that maybe it's not there or should should. how do i love the doors of this car? was the name of this place. i start to look for anything in the car that we could use to defend ourselves. we're in luck. it's a part of logging truck, not

a blockade and we're not the only ones who don't have reception. the loggers don't either, so they can't call for reinforcements. we managed to escape the global demand for wood is huge. we use it in construction for heating furniture, even toilet paper, and the cardboard box is used in online shopping. there was even wood in clothing, and tires and deforestation is a major contributor to carbon emissions. yet and a 2021 e report, researchers were unable to identify the source of 120000000 metric tons of wood used in a single year. so is this, the on identifiable would ending up in our own homes? to find out more? i pay a visit to your honda sign in who's been what detective for w. w. f, germany for 20 years. now note, quoting to in simple 15 to 16 percent of wood sold globally was loved illegally.

and i think that's a lot. and it seemed as though to end up with that didn't tropical for us because according to engine pole, it's 60 to 90 percent more met. so the moment i purchase a product where the would comes from a high risk country would be highly likely that this product stems from some sort of illegal activity. does piece of product in india gotten into account. there are labels that certify sustainable sourcing, like the one issued by the forest stewardship council and e u regulations band, the sale of illegal 10 brentwood and europe. and siri that escapes finding fault though that regulation does exist, but it's not implemented well. and then all certificates exist, but they are often meaningless in high risk countries regardless. so illegal would continues to play a role including on the gym and markets. while there's been the use 2013 timber regulation was written with loopholes, for example in applied to tables. but not chairs, a new deforestation. la aims to close such gaps that we've been in the guidelines

as long as the products made of illegal timber sold at a lower price. you can run across those products. when you buy furniture from a retailer at a roof motion prices, it can stick in price, but it's also going online to look at a furniture vendor like move of health. now, what about that? a lot. this is shante. this is, it will take a look that it has solid wooden legs and it's a posted if it costs $149.00 yours, does it say that's a low price for a chair like that and it's fairly fancy. it's off the way to being anom chang. so some help us have some here. a wooden bench costs 40 euros. a table made of solid oak. 129 euro's. that's nothing unusual. i think for your honda, it's on and it's not prove that the wood was illegally sourced, but it is worth a closer look of the i q a list in bags and 17 minutes away. we decide to check out some local retailers.

this is a big part of the wood detectives work on the fitness center does. what does this cost uh the, the if you this month been getting like the new, strangely enough, every time the w w. f doesn't market analysis. we fund suspicious product itself on the home just by the way i'm deal thorazine is finding them, doing those tests using this for the life of the test stop. they failed to create more transparency. so the industry has a cheap, it's a most, but it's so often suspicious of the team was presented to us because it then the flavor fund regarding what the impact of the legal lumber trade and the destruction of the forest is terrible. fitting me my mind. it's driving climate change and the loss of buying a diversity. why is a legal team but treated like a minor offense knock before they go out, they more inspections, more rigorous controls and much roy and penalties, and yet, which would have a deterrent effect. and they couldn't steal no happening with his coughing to. oh yeah, i'm just taking the route from home to somebody, needs to be serviced. busy. ikea is the world's largest furniture retailer and it

consumes more than half a percent of the global timber harvest. we're here to take a look at a few of the items that seem suspiciously cheap on their website, so to speak, all your friends to this is so from what does this lease chelsea's very cheap. so we can assume it comes from a country where labor costs to load on the tip is as low as tend to be the same countries that have issues with corruption and with the loss of illegal looking. so when what happens when you say that's the case in eastern europe, it's sending russia as a civilian or so. so it would be interesting to know exactly where these food comes from and of itself, abundance are shown, will continue to search contact with him. i key is full of an expensive furnishings made of solid wood. research carried out by algebra and the earthside organization . in 20202021, found the links between ikea products and the illegal timber. i can't deny the accusations, but xannon says no furniture retailer can guarantee it's completely free of a legally logwood. are we going to do any fielding in this?

no. that we don't want to call attention to ourselves inside your honda sign and crawls under tables turns chairs upside down and takes 3 hours worth of notes get over this coupon. and she now put a tip of cleaning for this is behind is made in china. the honest thing, it does go to a tree, rings here, a very thin. so these tree probably grew in a very cold environment with in long some weeks that slows grows and gives you would, that looks like this is the key for the controller. this time might have come from russia being processed in china and exported to european. no, no, it will pop. that's my guess disappeared. this one is so the from neutral russian timber is regarded as high risk. and it's important was banned after russia invaded ukraine. after a few more purchases at another retailer, we return to its on ins office. we're going to send one samples to a lab to trace its origin.

the is any of this with the product of illegal logging. while we wait for the lab results i had to france where interpol is headquarters. i have a meeting with dr. brown who is an environmental crime investigator for the agency in mindful what are we having in this process? so i tells us to apply on that. it seems like most people don't care about a legal logging. that is, this has also been my experience, the all feeling a lot of the political discussions i've witnessed completely missed. the point of the problem is growing more and more urgent. what is more and more massive and worrisome? i see you is a topic that should be at the top of our list. months was fema mail looked. the

interpol cooperates with countries around the world. but the problem is huge around says that interpol estimates the illegal timber industry is worth up to $152000000000.00 a year. and with community it is the voice, the environmental crime is the 3rd largest crime in the world. that's the go it's. it's, it's right behind illegal drug trafficking in country if it's in crime, just cumulative. this and the overall context is also important and context for some foreign mental crime whose hand in hand with the worst kinds of organized crime, with things like human traffic in the drug trade. last sections of the weapons traded on the button on the even, please. an important role in terrorism was on a particular street and why terrorism was most vital. these 2, it was because the terrorist groups, for example, i'll show about the, are financed by the ruthless, plundering of natural resources, illegal logging and illegal charcoal production legos. a put some of the for all by

to that charcoal who just also imported into the already done that. we feel our sausages on it and it's it. and i have no idea where it actually comes from. this will come to start safety here. they get this, it's a lot like an investment portfolio pound explains the criminal organizations invest in a variety of industries, including a legal timber size. is this i'm in the tool list, salsa. it's a natural resource. that right now is just as important as gold is the kind of thing the organized crime loves. this is huge, profit was a very low penalty using stuff. so new they're not the tyrant on. as a result, it's probably the problem is growing massively must sieve. illegal logging is increasing illegal up as ramping some try that full on him on the flows. those i showed him some photos i took during my investigation. let me make this bigger. so what i thought you meant by this is a forest in romania communion. this is an old us,

the criminal organizations like police. this like this. you can protect isolated regions where there's little oversight corner where they can just run 2nd area and sell the timber illegally. as a high price, it goes by difficult and violence is please and the grow. i know, i know butler romania is not alone. many other countries also have the same problem . and i mean suit those to us in east south east asia and especially them become delta and was also a huge hot spot for legal logging and tropical forest funding portion, bundle it and told us you're comfortable with who it is, highly sought after and demand keeps rising, even as prices keep rise, i think that he did good in cambodia. nature is also being plundered over the past 20 years. more than a quarter of the countries for us to vanished about 90 percent of that due to illegal login. the

marcus hopkins came here from germany some 30 years ago. the environmental activist has tried to counter cambodia as powerful timber mafia which is said to have ties to the highest circles of government. rather than meeting in a public place. he's come to my hotel. this is fucking so the son built the well, you'll have an illegal loading operation run by gangsters that pays a regular wage to the pub director. he'll give some of that to his subordinates and the lunch chunk to his bosses in the ministry. i meant wasn't times the boss and i'm putting him in his daily. the range is work is gone for the logging company in the protected forests frontier and totally illegal left in the woods. so the old classic method of style operation, regardless, it's class such as mascot business openly criticizing corruption in cambodia is dangerous and active as friend of macos high because criticized the military for their involvement. he was been shot and killed by a military police officer. and who does the hits administer?

mention busy, busy local activists. so basically risking their lives to expose these to see the deals who is working behind shelf. now, given that you'd think that the bureaucrats would at least bother to properly enforce their own trade agreements ation. that's it. so menace done just because as long as there are bias, as long as there's a market, we just tilting against windmill scans that come from the 100 lights on the 8th. and pennsylvania to convince this map shows how much forest and land cambodia has lost over the past 2 decades. i'm hoping to talk to environmental organizations and activists about this, but no one wants to speak on camera. finally i get a lead and head to the pray long forest. large areas of the lowland green forest

were declared a protected area in 2016, but the trees are still vanishing. at an astonishing rate, i joined a group of men who regularly patrol the area in hopes of stopping the longer as were devastating. the forest near their village will be the good. it's 6 30 in the morning more and i just got up and don't really know where i am, who's been invo somewhere in the middle of the forest. okay, and all through the night i kept hearing the sound of chainsaws taking down trees. for me, it wasn't all that far from here. 100 shares of it takes one year of your time for a hurried breakfast before we set out to them. man, it's all i don't mind that the we're not actually supposed to be here. the authorities have forbidden it them and tell me and some have already received visits from the police. the trade in timber

is a money spinner and the people involved in it won't give that up easily. even if this is a protected area, the tim, so key is one of the groups, unofficial leaders. he and i'll let the document the traces the longer is leave behind. they share their evidence with researchers and post it on social media. how old is the tracy? do you mind to know? 100? yeah, i think the family didn't. southside, that's what was called to the timber company, sells the root in vietnam and other countries. now i'm going to go to the use of under cambodian law, timber exports are highly regulated, but the smugglers pay that little heed. once in vietnam officials issue new

documentation and the timber appears, legal on paper, at least in the meantime, the you in vietnam have signed the trade agreements. it's likely that vietnam will soon be able to certify the legality of its wood. and the furniture exports made of it, and that in turn would eliminate checks in the you know, what was the name, what's the name of the tree again this afternoon, i'm a link to me. okay, well then we'll see if we can find a trace of this type of tray back in europe the name can but for now, our search for longer is continues. we spent the entire morning making our way through the nature reserve. it's hot and dusty work. the

there have been some violent encounters in the past. so the patrol takes a friendly approach. you know, it's illegal to cut down these trees and yes, i know, and i and then then why you doing it in that? don't more than that. um, there's new work in my village, slow panel from the the to log or is do the dirty work on but earned very little for it. the big money ends up elsewhere, which is the reality of the illegal temper trade at all. both nature and people are exploited. right? so i can't remember anymore. my, exactly, this is just the warning, the authorities some, they'll put you in handcuffs and i'm wondering wonder why come on we only take your chainsaws and tell you to go home. they don't are probably the when they take apart the chain saws to put a stop to the illegal logging, if only for the moment the

soon we run across to another group of longer this time it's a father and his sons. our father says he only found young trees. all the big ones have been felt. their chain cells are also confiscated. the 2 bedroom until the sound of chainsaws is coming from every direction from the left and the right. the end over there or some more longer is loading up the good i'm i'm never they're about to take apart the chain saw as when cement arrive secuity of the they they're from the lumber company. suddenly the mood is tense. why did you

come all this way? say i don't know what to tell, you know that you know exactly where we are. i give us a call. do we have a problem here? why would you tell me if we do the 2 bits? if you want that, then you'll be at fault. if we can't agree, they'll be serious problems. excuse me. so now we have to hurry again and leave the forest. but the security guys could call for reinforcements. we don't have cell reception here and we're alone. spends a lot the men had planned to spend another day in the forest. instead they decide it's time to leave. it's too dangerous. we wait until after sunset and then head out away from the forest

of forest tuesdays might well be numbered. the back in germany. the lab results from the wood items we bought aren't here yet. so i set out to find out more about the wood from cambodia. here at the tuning institute of wood research and humbling deputy director get hug. call is in charge of with identification using bits in division shelf commission, just the scientific collection itself. we have about $35000.00 would samples here because i'm all of them documented these here, solid tropical woods and of and here's an old piece labeled ice institute for foreign and colonial for a straight stitch of meaning was upside to come of the institute examines would from all over the world college and what dealers and government agencies like the customs authority come here to find out where

a particular shipment of wood comes from since collision deal isn't that one industry. we have the samples you sent us on in the comm hobbin that it's the wood i brought back from the nature reserve in cambodia. the samples are 1st boiled until they soften some for several days the out, so then there sliced extremely them like making it so this because cool. i'm putting it under the microscope. lice, lice can follow along live on the monitor. and the so it's in, you can cite the cells, does these lanes are very unusual. i'm of either in single root, i'm looking to design it or something else i might show in a storage sales, extending term right here. and really what you can see what these granular structures dollar, so they're crystals on. so the light look, they're starting to glue and push the app like a prism, the dispersed as light things time got. you can see that here has a window so top, so lutely multi engine that's already served. just include escape. there are only a few pieces of tree, and i go longer to the genus terminology until the crystals like this because of some of the cause of those i was a photograph of the month. it shouldn't get all the costs, believes it's

a tree known on the market as indian laurel to confirm that the interest it's attributes into a database cuz out of the act mother doesn't want something isn't already see there are certain similarities from under our microscope and our reference database because there are these large corps with storage cells around most of these fine lines. and so it's conclusive. it's a valuable indian logo. as i said along with cambodia. indian laurel also grows in other southeast asian countries and india over the past few years. again, how to call has seen more of it on the european and german market. it taken up by thousands of beginning in 2017. we started seeing more of that's on the market as a ready made product for musical instruments. color and texture wise, it resembles loose boot doesn't on an indian model, isn't that protected species. so it can be used without any difficulties or preconditions this for all right. and for vin, most of it, where do you see it on musical instruments? if i wasn't devin, how's it got things like finger boards, let us get the same range of things as you'd see with rosewood and so lovely. we

had some sort of thoughts on some of the lease on we check out the website of a musical instrument retailer. indian laurel. there are $235.00 classes on places. yes. those are, those are e instruments. we will see this kind of wood quite often on the fingerboard system and there's a lot of them are visual and not from unknowns. vendors wire epa phones, all major manufacturer as well. yeah. how's that look? so if it's a global friend for me, you get hold of the call. adding trees to the list of protected species can help put the brakes on the illegal temper trade. but often the industry just switches to other species, like indian laurel, and even legally logwood can become a problem when it's logged to the point of near extinction. i want to find out more, but from the major timber companies only h. s. timber from austria is willing to speak with me. the company has several production sites and romania after a number of scandals. h. s. timber now touts, it's sustainability credentials and it system that's intended to identify legal

timber. this is exactly why he just has a very efficient in the industry. he hired a push at comp to mind is the company's sustainability officer. can you say with a 100 percent certainty that your company never has any illegal woods? you can missed me to 100 percent or we can never see anything with 100 percent certainty of it. so i can't see what the 100 percent certainty that will never have on workplace oxygen or any other legal liabilities. every safety system tries to ensure a high level of safety if you want the percentage though, i see i'm 99.9 percent search and so i'm not allowed to come along with it doesn't that's very good. they'll still see good, sorry i'm getting because of but he's 99.9 percent certainty even possible in romania romania. romania is part of the european union which is well regulated in comparison to other places in the world. the basic structures in romania are

functioning and the system is based on the rule of law related stuff because this thing that you as well the rules will only get you so far. if you can just pay a small fee for account, or if it documented, or if you can get an official or a police officer to look the other way for a bit of cash and get them to do things that might not be strictly legal, legal, missing the guy that's just speculation, sorry, it's speculation, but it's also reality so that it can be any event. we don't defend things like that . the fact is that we only want to deal with with this being locked legally. missing candidates in about half of romanian timber is logged illegally. flush like hoffman sees it like this is give me the issue, isn't deforestation destroying the forest? give me this isn't a clear cutting your, it's old growth forests, separate lumber, se would keep star and the on the phone. but when you look at the trees vanishing

in the carpet and isn't that exactly what is happening? forest are being clear cut to get in kind of what some kind of like in the did you want to find any major clear cutting and romania over the past 10 years. that was truly an example of clear cut time and taking college. likely to clear cutting. suppose is clear coaching that was done there. i'm pretty sure this is correct in was a 100 percent in areas affected by wind through a big roughly wind throw refers to trees that were upper rooted by wind in romania and gabrielle. poland also told me that longer is approved trees by using steel cables and vehicles. the so what is illegal? what's on ethical and what's simply an allegation. there aren't many clear answers to be found. and clarity isn't deliberately short supply. it's an industry worth billions and consumers want their affordable would, furnishing the results from our would samples have arrived present in samples from

6 products. the lab didn't find any indications of a legal would, but it did find 3 discrepancies. the ikea handle was supposedly made of birchwood lab identified as post by a wood from asia. ikea offered only a tourist replied. it's an error has been made. we will correct it immediately. after another inquiry from us ikea road, we will check your results carefully in consultation with the supplier environment sustainability report ikea road by showing where the wood and our products comes from. we want to set a good example and increase transparency, and that's a bit strange because i've asked ikea several times where it would comes from. and i never got a direct answer stating the name of a country where the word came from. it and fort become that they replied, we always ensure that we observe all relevant rules and regulations in the areas in which we operate. uh, actually 3 fourths of what do think of them. and we also send this ikea code hook in for testing. the result was, the word comes from siberia,

an area that is at high risk for illegal logging. i know ikea finally responded with more specific information about its origins. the word they said it came from the codes region of siberia and was logged to before the total ban on russian would imports. a wooden sofa leg was also flag. ikea says the word came from romania, but the labs that that was unlikely when gun giving the wood market needs to become more transparent about sourcing and more controls need to be in place. in germany, the federal agency for food and agriculture or b o e is responsible for wood in ports and they reply to our inquiry. they said they take random samples and use a risk based approach. last year, they conducted $217.00 analyses. not particularly stringent given that 27000 companies in poured wood to germany. the b l. e is part of the ministry of food and agriculture. it's had tim is to me from the green party,

didn't have time for an interview company. uh they mean this home room, i'm meeting parliamentary state secretary cloudy, a miller who's also from the green party. so why isn't there more oversight on this issue? as soon as we have to do this within the scope of our staffing resources, um there are inspections and random sampling or spot checks. i wouldn't say that we do less than others do. so i'm doesn't have any dental the problem. the question is, is that enough to know how much of a source of food is a control in the country? do we have the resources to do more? i'd say we could always do more money for research departments. our fisheries authority, the customs divisions. they all like to do more, the police, the, she points i, everyone wishes for all sorts of things around the other. the venture illegal timber is a market worth of billions. but the b, l. e has only 23 staff members to monitor the industry. the agency tells me they've

never found illegally harvested timber, not flies, of additive paged. that's kent. one. we know certificates get foraged in. checking them isn't easy for us and our inspection authorities, including customs set. if you say we get a certificate from cambodia, what do you do with that? that's mostly then it's with it's authentic, but and verifiable is, was it got maybe you like the language skills or maybe you simply can't check if it's actually official or legal and is this focus of it so on to the god suspended could come from, well, why don't we have stricter regulations about them? why do our laws and regulations have loopholes? just tell me if i put in politics, everyone would want to do more. she was caught up in europe. everyone gets a se just and everyone has different interests that sticks in testing the be, at least as the average penalty for a violation is 1800 euro. so if it off, off many say penalties for violating the would trade regulations and import violations are too low, import on its own isn't this because of the all we could certainly imagine taking
