Created in 1947, the European Forestry Commission (EFC) is one of six Regional Forestry Commissions established by FAO to provide a policy and technical forum for countries to discuss and address forest issues on a regional basis. It meets every two years.

FAO encourages wide participation of government officials from forestry and other sectors, as well as representatives of international, regional, and subregional organizations that deal with forest-related issues in the region, including NGOs, and the private sector.
