"Today, it was an easy task to vote for the report on forest protection and information in the EU: preparing forests for climate change. The EU forests are now facing more pressure than ever before, not necessarily because of climate change, but rather because of some of the decisions made in the EU to combat it. The fact that we now have requested within this report legally binding sustainability criteria on energy-creating biomass is an important initiative. The EU biofuel legislation, along with legislation for renewables, has driven our forest use in an unsustainable direction. If we consider forests solely as a source of renewable energy, we totally have missed the point of combining sustainable industry and environment protection. Forests are an important source of livelihood and well-being within our borders. Therefore, this valuable natural source should be used for production rather than short-sighted energy. One should also remember that the wood products themselves tie carbon during their whole life cycle. Therefore, we should avoid any corner-cutting in trying to reach our renewable goals."@en1
