On the 1st December, Eumabois and MKV – the organisers of Moscow-based exhibition Woodex – signed an agreement that provides total support by the European Federation to the event. The agreement was subject to Eumabois request to organise Woodex every two years.

Woodex will be held at the Crocus Expo in Moscow in the month of December in odd years, alternating with Lesdrevmash, organised by Expocentre, which –as in the past – will take place at Krasnopresnenskaya in Moscow in September, in even years.

The next Lesdrevmash will take place in 2010, from September 27 to October 1, while in 2011 Woodex will be organised from November 29 to December 2.

The agreement signed by Franz-Josef Buetfering, President of Eumabois, and Andrey Lapshin, President of MVK.
