"I endorsed this document because EU forests and other wooded land account for more than 42% of the EU’s surface. Forests provide livelihoods for millions of workers, entrepreneurs and 16 million forest owners. The forest-based industries (FBIs) provide more than 2 million jobs, mostly in SMEs. 350 000 people are employed in forest management. The EU ratio of felling to increment is stable at around 60%. This ratio is projected to increase in several countries to over 100%, causing a decline in growing stock after 2020. European forests and forestry are governed by a variety of regional and national models, grouped according to their productive or protective orientation. Forests provide both resources and ecosystem functions. There are proposals to draft obligatory programmes. Assistance must also be allocated in a targeted manner, i.e. linked to climate change. The proposals include increasing competitiveness in the long-term, improving and preserving the environment, improving quality of life, and promoting coordination and communications. We must make every possible effort to ensure that we safeguard and use this resource sustainably so that our future generations can also exploit it, and we should also contribute to reducing environmental pollution."@en1
