"I am voting for the signing of a Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA) between the European Union and the Republic of Cameroon, the goals of which are strengthening forest governance, promoting Cameroon’s timber products, and making the country more competitive on the international market.
These goals must respect the objectives and commitments of the Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade Agreement: strengthening community land tenure and access rights, ensuring the effective participation of civil society – with specific attention to indigenous peoples – in policy making on forest governance related issues, increasing transparency and reducing corruption. Nothing will come of the aforementioned goals without the real and effective involvement of the authorities of the Republic of Cameroon.
I agree with the rapporteur when he highlights the need, given the new competences conferred by the Treaty of Lisbon, for the European Parliament to monitor the various stages of negotiating and implementing the VPA, and when he calls on the Commission to provide Parliament with studies of the agreement’s social, economic and environmental impact, amongst other documents for assessing its implementation."@en1
