Abstract	Taking into consideration the link between deforestation and climate change, this paper aims to analyse the sanctioning framework derived from the implementation in the domestic legislations of EU Member States of Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 995/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 October 2010 laying down the obligations of operators who place timber and timber products on the market (EUTR). The aim is to determine the extent to which Member States have opted for criminal law as a sanctioning strategy in this area. Firstly, the paper briefly introduces the background of the EUTR and the sanctioning framework provided for in Article 19. Secondly, the results of the study on the regulatory implementation of the EUTR in the 28 EU Member States and Norway are presented indicating the nature and severity of the sanctions provided for in their domestic legislation. Finally, the paper addresses the implementation of article 19 of the EUTR in Spain. Given that Spain has opted for administrative sanctions in the application of the EUTR, the paper briefly points out what criminal mechanisms exist to tackle illegal trafficking in timber and timber products.
