lpv:translated text	"In December 2005, the Council of Ministers authorised the European Commission to negotiate partnership agreements with timber-producing countries in order to implement the EU Action Plan on Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) and, in particular, to promote trade and imports of verified legal timber products into the EU from these partner countries. The Central African Republic (CAR) has 31% of its surface covered by tropical rainforests. Forestry activities are the country’s main private sector employer, contributing 4% of GDP and 40% of the country’s total export revenues. That is why the European Union has a keen interest in signing these agreements. On the other hand, we do not want to involuntarily participate in the illegal or informal activities that could take place in the Central African Republic. We must ensure that small forest enterprises serving the domestic market are professional, profitable and sustainable. That is what is provided for in this agreement, which guarantees free trade while imposing conditions."@en1
