"I chose to abstain from voting on the proposal for a regulation laying down the obligations of operators who place timber and timber products on the market. While I do think it is vitally important to step up the control of timber imports at the borders of the single market, I feel that the report proposes too onerous and bureaucratic a system, which will penalise our own European forestry sectors. Rather than imposing a complicated and costly product labelling system that would be very detrimental to the sector and to timber as a material, we should increase the checks and target the supply chain that is placing the goods on the European market, in order to combat illegal logging. The main objective of the regulation must be to implement a new common culture of control and responsibility rather than to impose a bureaucratic and costly process for checking each product. Given the problems faced by the sector, we should not penalise timber more than other materials and energy sources with overly binding rules for placing it on the market."@en1
