lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would firstly like to congratulate Mrs Redondo on the magnificent work she has done on her report. I believe that all of us here consider it very important to continue improving and fighting for these measures against the factors which contribute to all the deterioration of the European Union’s forests, such as fires and acid rain, to which we can now add the Commission’s proposal, relating to the fight to improve biodiversity. In view of the obvious deterioration of the forests, I believe you should be sensitive to Mrs Redondo’s proposals. One of the issues I know best and which I believe is highly topical relates to the southern European regions, which are – as you know – most sensitive to the risks of forest fires. With regard to these regions we must continue to develop and expand a specific policy and we must combat forest fires. In relation to the Mediterranean forests, although they offer a great variety of strategies for combating drought, at the same time these strategies make it very easy for them to catch fire. The dry, arid climate, accidents – caused voluntarily or involuntarily – are reasons for the vulnerability of an ecosystem which is under a lot of pressure and which requires a lot of assistance if it is to be conserved. We will therefore support Mrs Redondo’s report, and we ask the Commission to be sensitive to her amendments, and also, the great majority of the speeches of those of us who are trying to support the report by Mrs Redondo. Prevention and safety are very important in terms of maintaining all the European forests, above all in view of the characteristics of the southern forests. It is essential that the Commission take note and that it be sensitive to this report and our speeches defending the forests."@en1
