"The adoption of this resolution clearly illustrates our desire to be kept informed of any measure concerning the implementation of this two-faceted – trade and environmental – agreement, given that its main aim is ‘to promote the expansion and diversification of international trade in tropical timber from sustainably managed and legally harvested forests and to promote the sustainable management of tropical timber producing forests’. Global warming requires strict measures in order to guarantee environmental governance that respects natural resources and seeks to contribute to the sustainable development of our planet. It is estimated that some 20% of the EU’s timber imports come from illegal sources. None of the major tropical timber regions is immune from this. The information requested by the European Parliament is crucial, since this problem is at the heart of the challenges that the entire world faces, such as global warming, food security, the fight against poverty (1.5 billion people are thought to depend on forests for their survival), and the fight against corruption and organised crime. Lastly, illegal logging undermines the rule of law, good governance and respect for human rights."@en1
