Objective THE OBJECTIVE OF RESEARCH CONSISTS OF A BETTER UTILIZATION OF HOME-GROWN WOOD SPECIES AND WOOD PRODUCTS. THE OVERALL AIM OF THIS RESEARCH PROJECT, COORDINATED AT EUROPEAN LEVEL, IS TO DEVELOP A SYSTEM OF GRADING SAWN ENGINEERED TIMBER, SORTED MECHANICALLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH VARIOUS METHODS, SUCH A SYSTEM TO BE SUITABLE FOR THE PURPOSE SUBSEQUENTLY INTENDED AND GEARED TO PRACTICAL CONDITIONS. WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS PARTIAL OBJECTIVE IT IS INTENDED TO ASCERTAIN THE STANDARD OF NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL MECHANICAL WOOD SORTING. WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT SUPERVISION AND COORDINATION OF THE OVERALL RESEARCH PROJECT, PROVISION IS ALSO BEING MADE FOR A SYMPOSIUM, TO BE ORGANISED AT EUROPEAN LEVEL, AT WHICH IT IS INTENDED TO DISCUSS ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE VARIOUS MACHINES , THIS INVOLVING SCIENCE, SAW MILLS, THE WOOD INDUSTRIAL SECTOR AS WELL AS MANUFACTURERS OF MACHINERY. THE AIM OF THIS SYMPOSIUM IS TO PROVIDE STIMULATING IDEAS FOR SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH PROJECTS AND TO PREPARE THE BASIS FOR EUROPEAN GRADING STANDARDS. THE PROJECT WILL BRING ABOUT BETTER EVALUATION OF WOOD AS A RAW MATERIAL,THUS ENABLING THE SAW-MILL INDUSTRIAL SECTOR, A BRANCH THAT IS STRUCTURALLY WEAK, TO GAIN A FIRM COMPETITIVE POSITION WITH RESPECT TO IMPORTED TIMBER.
