lpv:spoken text	". The illegal and unsustainable exploitation of forests has a devastating effect on both mankind and nature. In vulnerable regions such as the Amazon, Central Africa, South-East Asia and Russia more than half of the logging activities are illegal. The government of Brazil announced last year that the destruction of the world's largest tropical forest, the Amazon, proceeds apace. In the 12-month period ending last August, farming and logging, much of it illegal, destroyed 10,000 square miles of forest. This was the biggest one-year loss since 1995, when the Amazon shrank by about 11,000 square miles. Internationally the EU has committed itself to protect the last ancient forests and to fight the illegal exploitation and trade of timber through CITES, WSSD and CBD. In May 2003 the European Commission published the Forest Law Enforcement Governance and Trade Action Plan. I urge them to speed up implementation of this important initiative."@en1
