lpv:translated text	"Under the framework of FLEGT, tropical timber exporting countries have begun drawing up Voluntary Partnership Agreements (VPAs) with the EU, in order to guarantee the traceability and legality of timber. Independent verification procedures are also provided for by these agreements. This enables them to set the standard for the management and exploitation of forests. I can only welcome the fact that the Commission has concluded agreements with Cameroon and the Republic of Congo. These agreements form a good basis for future VPAs: for example, with certain Asian countries and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Another important consideration for the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance is the fact that the Commission has committed itself to reporting, within six months of the start of the Voluntary Partnership Agreement, on measures taken to enable and maintain an ongoing dialogue between the stakeholders and civilian communities, including local and indigenous populations. The overexploitation of forests threatens not just the local population but also the fauna and flora, and biodiversity. The kind of mass deforestation which leads to increased global warming will be reduced by these agreements."@en1
