lpv:translated text	"Deforestation and forest degradation are the main causes of loss of biodiversity. In turn, illegal logging is the major cause of deforestation, currently representing 20-40% of global industrial timber production. As far as this kind of activity is concerned, sanctions are most commonly applied to tropical timber activities. Therefore, with respect to sanctions, the EU Member States must lay down the rules on penalties applicable to infringements of the provisions of this regulation and take all measures necessary to ensure that they are implemented. Sanctions must be effective, proportionate and dissuasive, and may take the form of fines proportionate to the environmental damage, the value of the timber or timber products concerned, and the tax losses and economic detriment resulting from the infringement; of the seizure of the timber and timber products concerned; or of the immediate suspension of authorisation to trade."@en1
