lpv:translated text	"The EU has no competence in the area of forestry policy. In spite of this, the programme adopted by the European Parliament means that the monitoring of forestry, biodiversity and forest fires is being centralised. We Moderates do not accept that the EU should be given competence for forestry policy by the back door. European forests cannot be compared with each other. Sweden and Finland at present account for 40% of EU forest production. In Sweden and Finland, forestry is the most important industry economically and cannot be a European matter. In these countries, we have a long tradition of looking after our forests in an economically and ecologically sustainable way. Our forests do not present the same biodiversity as the forests in southern Europe. That has to do with the natural basic conditions, because the climate is colder. We do not believe that there is any reason for centralising forestry. We are, however, able to support fire prevention activity. Unlike air and water, forests are not a cross-border issue. We Moderates will continue to protect the forests of Sweden."@en1
