lpv:translated text	"The Commission Green Paper report entitled ‘Forest protection and information in the EU: preparing forests for climate change’ presents European Parliament’s concerns on the matter. Forests and wooded land currently cover more than 42% of the EU’s surface and there are more than 16 million forest owners. Forests provide 2 million jobs, many in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and represent an annual turnover of EUR 300 billion. On top of this, they have an essential role in combating climate change due to their capacity to absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. These figures reveal the importance of forests for all EU Member States, but particularly for Portugal, which has forests with very specific characteristics and plays an important role in regional planning and combating forest fires. I voted in favour of this report since it advocates measures that I think contribute to combating forest destruction, especially fires, pests, forest fragmentation, changes in species composition and an increased demand for woody biomass."@en1
