lpv:translated text	"According to estimates by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, 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 first International Tropical Timber Agreement (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 and the Commission support the International Tropical Timber Organisation (ITTO), established by the 1983 ITTA, 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 forest law enforcement, as the additional measures adopted by the EU illustrate. As such, I voted for this report on the proposal for a Council decision on the conclusion, by the European Union, of the 2006 ITTA."@en1
