lpv:translated text	"We Swedish Social Democrats chose to vote against quite a number of the amendments in the report concerning monitoring of forests and environmental interactions in the Community (Forest Focus). We are very hesitant about giving Community policy a larger role when it comes to forests. We believe that the basic conditions within the EU vary so much that it is questionable what added value such a Community policy would bring. On the basis of that approach, we chose to vote against those items concerned with incorporating the prevention of forest fires into the regulation. The risk is that, in the interests of monitoring, this would divert a lot of resources from other areas. What is more, fire prevention measures are already a part of the EU Regulation on Rural Development. In the final vote, we chose, in spite of our hesitations, to vote in favour of the report. We did so in view of the fact that Parliament had included important wordings concerning the principle of subsidiarity and the importance of the Member States’ participating in the work on developing this regulation."@en1
