"The Forest Action Plan adopted in 2006 set four important objectives. However, not enough attention has been given to them equally, as indicated by mid-term evaluations of its implementation. The major shortcomings concern enhancing protection and biodiversity conservation and indicate that 66% of forest habitats have an unfavourable status. In practical terms, the conclusions show that, while attention has been focused on improving long-term competitiveness, the objectives of improving the environment, enhancing quality of life and promoting coordination and communication have not been implemented strongly enough. Forests provide livelihoods for millions of workers, entrepreneurs and 16 million forest owners. The forest-based industries in the EU provide more than 2 million jobs, mostly in SMEs, and have a EUR 300 billion turnover. There are also more than 350 000 people employed in forest management.
From this perspective, it is important to pursue the objectives set out in the forestry strategies. This fact, combined with climate change, provides sufficient grounds for mobilising all EU Member States and making equal, consistent efforts to manage the Union’s forests. This action must be backed up with adaptations to the energy, industry, commercial, research and cohesion policies, including regional policy and the Solidarity Fund."@en1
