lpv:translated text	"More than 20 years after the first tropical timber agreement was concluded, we are obliged to admit that overexploitation and illegal logging continue to be a problem. It therefore became imperative for us to revise the agreement in order to reflect better these new objectives. It is now a fait accompli: the International Tropical Timber Agreement, negotiated by the Commission within UNCTAD (the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) in 2006 embodies the new concerns for sustainable and legal exploitation of forest areas. I warmly welcome the inclusion of these objectives. However, producers in the countries concerned should not be forced to bear the inevitable cost of these new provisions. The international community must establish a suitable financial compensation scheme. I would also like the Commission to go further and to draft a comprehensive piece of legislation to ensure that only timber and timber products derived from forests managed in the interests of sustainable development and legally exploited are placed on the European market. This is the only way to encourage producers to operate legally and respect the environment and therefore to promote, at global level, the sound and sustainable exploitation of tropical forests."@en1
