lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this report. Forests and wooded land cover more than 42% of the EU’s surface. Forest-based industries, with a turnover of more than EUR 300 billion, provide more than 2 million, mostly rural, jobs, contributing to economic growth, jobs and prosperity through the provision of timber and opportunities for tourism. EU forests face major threats due to climate change, new pests, increasing risk of fire (particularly in the Mediterranean region), and human activity (growing energy sector demand for woody biomass), which is causing deforestation. I agree that the Commission and the Member States must intensify efforts to achieve the environment and quality-of-life goals of the Forest Action Plan, the implementation of which is currently lagging behind. The EU forestry strategy and forest action plan also need to be updated to include the climate-change dimension and wider forest protection issues."@en1
