"This report deals with the Commission Green Paper on forest protection and information in the EU: preparing forests for climate change. Forests and wooded land currently cover more than 42% of the EU’s area and constitute an important source of revenue, generating more than EUR 300 billion a year and providing more than 2 million jobs. On top of this, forests are essential for all of us and are part of our identity. In recent times, we have witnessed disasters and storms threatening forests. Without forests, the consequences of climate change would be even more serious. However, despite their importance, they have not been granted the financial investment that they merit.
I welcome the adoption of this report, which draws attention to the neglect the sector has suffered and calls for recognition and appreciation of the diversity of species existing in the EU, as well as of the need to implement a modern and active forestry policy that is able to take advantage of the area of biomass and of carbon credits, as well as of traditional activities."@en1
