lpv:translated text	"I voted for the draft Council decision on the conclusion of a Voluntary Partnership Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Liberia on forest law enforcement, governance and trade in timber and derived products to the European Union. Almost 45% of Liberia’s land area is covered by forest, and the country hosts more than half of West Africa’s remaining rain forests. The Timber Regulation, which will come into force in March 2013, aims at facilitating legitimate trade in timber products and providing a level playing field for all market participants. It will ban the sale in the EU of illegally harvested timber and products manufactured from this timber, under the rules of the country of origin. The regulation stipulates the obligations for operators who place timber or related products on the EU market. Its aim will be to guarantee legally-sourced products access to EU markets, while halting deforestation in Liberia. I call on the Commission to brief Parliament regularly on progress in implementing existing Voluntary Partnership Agreements and in negotiating and implementing new agreements."@en1
