"Madam President, alongside the fundamental environmental roles played by forests, as they are the most stable of ecosystems and form an integral part of the scenery of our planet, they are also important both culturally and socially, particularly in rural areas. The European Union must act decisively to eliminate illegal deforestation. This will protect competitiveness in the EU timber market and help control advancing climate change while, at the same time, protecting biodiversity.
Let us not forget, either, the threats posed by natural disasters in deforested areas. The catastrophic floods of the last few weeks have reminded us that regulation of water relationships is, after all, one of the key roles of forests. In this matter, it was not possible to vote otherwise than ‘for’."@en1
