lpv:translated text	"For many centuries, tropical timber has been in high demand by those hoping to prosper through the trafficking of this type of material. It is used for its quality and exoticism, but no care is taken to ensure the sustainability of the forest species that are being destroyed. While there has been an enormous reduction in biodiversity, the people of the countries in which this rare timber originates do not benefit in any way from this trade and their lives are frequently jeopardised by the activity of those profiting illegitimately from it. The European Union cannot distance itself from this problem and the conclusion of the international agreement relating to it is opportune. I hope that it will continue with this worldwide effort to put a stop to the over-exploitation and illegal logging of this kind of timber."@en1
