"Forests and wooded land currently cover more than 42% of the EU’s area, providing a means of subsistence for millions of workers. The conservation of forest heritage represents an important contribution to the welfare of populations, as well as contributing to job creation in rural areas. It is inseparable from preventing forest fires: disasters which decimate extensive areas of forest annually in southern Europe, particularly in Portugal. It is crucial to follow up on the recommendations on natural disaster prevention recently adopted here.
The report takes a wide-ranging approach to the forestry issue, focusing on certain aspects which we believe to be important. However, it is essential to put theory into practice, especially when it comes to mobilising enough financial resources through Union support programmes and measures to enable the monitoring of forests’ ecological and phytosanitary state and, wherever necessary, their reclassification, including reforestation.
It is also essential to provide Natura 2000 with the financial means for its management and the effective pursuit of its objectives, bearing in mind that many forest areas are covered by it. It is also essential to recognise the diversity of forest ecosystems in Europe and the multifunctionality of many of them, such as, for example, the Mediterranean’s
agro-forestry pastures."@en1
