There is concern in Solomon Islands that despite the government's stated policy of curbing logging export remissions, there was a significant increase in 2004, compared to 2003.
Our correspondent in Honiara says the report from the Auditor General on logging industry export remissions has raised those concerns, among others.
The report has revealed that the Department of Forestry, Environment and Conservation lost almost US$6 million in revenue from the forestry sector in 2003 and 2004.
