"Deforestation is responsible for up to 20% of carbon emissions worldwide. It causes excessive damage to ecosystems and threatens the invaluable eco-services they provide. Large amounts of deforestation are carried out illegally, without any efforts to replant trees or otherwise manage the process to limit its negative impacts. Illegal timber coming from third countries also competes unfairly with the EU forestry industry which, more often than not, is producing timber legally and in a sustainable manner. I therefore welcome this report and Parliament’s successful negotiations with the Council – it is an important piece of legislation which will help to address many environmental challenges, from biodiversity protection to climate change."@en1
