The CBFA came into effect in May 2010 and expired on 18 May 2013. An amended CBFA has been established since, involving seven environmental organizations (two fewer than in the previous agreement), the Forest Products Association of Canada and its 18 member companies, and Kruger Inc. (CBFA, 2014). The simplified procedures include fundamental changes to the rules for the allocation of tariff quotas on the export of spruce, pine and fir roundwood (Russian Gazette, 2013a).
