"The delay in adopting this agreement results from the 2008 failure to adopt it by Parliament, which is now, in 2011, adopting an international agreement dating from 2006. This was reached during the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and was intended to replace an earlier agreement of 1994, which will remain in force until the 2006 agreement comes into force. We would stress the fact that all the EU Member States have expressed their intention of concluding it and of contributing appropriately to its implementation. The goal of the agreement is to promote the sustainable management of tropical timber producing forests by creating a framework for consultation, for international cooperation and for all members to jointly devise policies regarding all the relevant aspects of the world timber economy.
There are legitimate concerns as to the compatibility of ‘sustainable management’ and the promotion of the ‘expansion and diversification of international trade in tropical timber’ also mentioned in the agreement. For this reason, we share the view that the protection of tropical forests and the restoration of forest areas that have been degraded should be placed at the heart of the agreement during the mid-term review of the current text."@en1
