lpv:spoken text	"I voted for this report. The Congo exports more than EUR 250 million of timber and derived products, half of which go to the European Union. Up to now, surveys by NGOs have shown that 20% of the Congolese timber imported to the European market is of illegal origin, whether it is for production, sale, processing or export. The successive wars between 1993 and 1999 did nothing to improve the situation, and opened the floodgates to the scourge of corruption. There was therefore an urgent need to establish procedures to combat illegal trade in timber by more effectively analysing and overseeing the often complex trading patterns. This Voluntary Partnership Agreement should help tackle corruption and significantly reduce the trade in illegal timber."@en1
