• To create and maintain an e-business
standard for the paper and forest industry
and where possible align it with other
standards.
• To provide assistance implementing the
standard, implementation groups within the
market segments of the industry have been
formed.
They agree upon the general business rules,
processes and then a suggested implementation of
the standard that is applicable for the particular
industry segment.
