lpv:translated text	"Forests and wooded land currently cover more than 42% of the EU’s area. Forests provide 2 million jobs, many in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and a turnover of EUR 300 billion. These figures reflect a fundamental need for effective European policy on forests, and on their use and sustainability, not only in environmental terms, but also as a key economic resource. When discussing the protection of forests as an economic and environmental resource, I cannot forget, being Portuguese, that combating forest fires – something from which my country has greatly suffered – must be an absolute priority for any European policy in this area. As far as national forest programmes (NFPs) are concerned, while I fully support their establishment, I would draw attention to their shortcomings. NFPs must become a reality and actually reach the forests so that they can be truly as effective as we intend for them to be."@en1
