(EEPN, Lochinver, 24 October 2012) Three Indonesian forest activists are coming to Europe to explain the impacts of paper production in Indonesia – touring 9 European cities in November, meeting customers of Asia Pulp and Paper (APP) and other Indonesian paper companies, potential investors, paper industry companies, government officials, journalists, environmental campaigners and the general public. APP has had to restructure its repayments to the export credit agencies of Germany, Japan, France, Austria, Sweden, Finland, Italy, Spain and Denmark and has been criticized by CSOs for its alleged repeated involvement in legally questionable activities in Indonesian/South-East Asian rainforests.
