lpv:translated text	". Mr President, Commissioner, the report by the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development is a balanced one. Although it does not endorse the idea of a common forestry policy, it does stress the need for coordination. The report acknowledges that Member States vary in their definitions of what is meant by the word ‘forest’, which makes it difficult to offer a definitive assessment of important Community forestry measures. I, for one, am disappointed that the proposal to set up a European observatory has not been adopted. Such an observatory would have led to the use of reliable, retrievable data. That aside, I support the proposals calling on the Commission to improve coordination between the various Directorates-General concerned with forestry issues and to strengthen the role of the Standing Forestry Committee. I tabled an amendment calling on the Commission to make proposals to the Member States based, in particular, on tax arrangements and designed to encourage forest owners to plant indigenous species in order to maintain biodiversity and reduce fire risks. The spirit of this proposal was echoed in the report, which recommends the adoption of measures for the prevention of fires and desertification, afforestation with native species, the promotion of diversity, the sustainable management of natural forests and the promotion of environmental services, particularly with a view to protecting water systems and combating erosion. The implementation of these measures entails investments on the part of forest owners. As they provide benefits to society, they deserve to be duly compensated. Lastly, the report takes account of my hopes and fears for the sector. It sets out the priority axes for a policy that will be global, yet will cater specifically for each region, taking account of the economic, social and environmental potential of the forestry sector. Thank you, Mr Kindermann, for your work, which I believe will secure a large majority in tomorrow’s vote."@en1
