lpv:translated text	"Mr President, first of all, I wish to convey my thanks to Mrs Redondo Jiménez for the sound work she has done on Forest Focus. Allow me to make it clear that we fully support that part of the regulation concerning protection against forest fires. I nonetheless consider the new parts of the regulation concerning soil strategy and the monitoring of biodiversity to be issues for each and every Member State. Forestry production in southern Spain and northern Scandinavia cannot be compared with each other. Finland and Sweden together account for 40% of European forestry production, and that is the backbone of the biggest export business in these countries. Sweden has a forestry law that is a hundred years old this year. Most forests are now certified, which means that forest owners themselves take responsibility for biodiversity. Responsibility at local level is best. The European Union cannot, on this issue, be controlled in its entirety from Brussels. The Member States’ national forestry strategies and laws must be all-embracing, and the individual forest owner must have control of what he rightfully owns."@en1
