(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order gives effect to the Host Country Agreement between the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the European Forest Institute (EFI) (the “Agreement”).

This Order does not confer legal capacity on the EFI as this was conferred in the European Forest Institute (Legal Capacities) Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/3426). It grants privileges and immunities to the EFI and to certain staff members, board members and representatives of member countries.

The Agreement is available at https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/65fc61d4f1d3a0001d32ad65/MS_5.2024_UK_European_Forest_Institute_Host_Country_Agreement.pdf; copies can also be obtained on request from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, King Charles Street, London, SWIA 2AH.

An Impact Assessment has not been prepared for this Order as no, or no significant, impact is foreseen on the private, voluntary or public sectors in the United Kingdom.
