"According to OECD estimates, each year, an area of original forest covering the size of Greece is lost, threatening irreplaceable biodiversity with extinction and increasing the risk of global warming. Although it is more than 20 years since the 1st ITTA was concluded, over-exploitation and illegal logging remain widespread. Almost half of all logging activities in regions such as the Amazon, Congo Basin, South-East Asia and Russia are illegal. The Council of the EU and the EU Commission support the ITTA, 2006, which they believe addresses the most pressing issues of the timber industry. The ITTO will continue its work on issues such as deforestation and illegal logging, but more can be done on strengthening the forest law enforcement, as the abovementioned additional measures adopted by the EU illustrate. In the meantime, I welcome this agreement and am pleased that Parliament has given its consent."@en1
