lpv:spoken text	"I would like to wish the Spanish Presidency well. I think you are off to a very good start this week. So Can I just say in relation to the question itself that trees provide a carbon sink in that they absorb CO emissions. The tragedy as regards the Amazon basin, 60% of which is in Brazil, is that the ruthless destruction of the beautiful Amazon forest is obvious: for example, 4.1 million km have been destroyed so far. It removes the carbon sink; it destroys a way of life, by virtue of the fact that the Amazon Red Indians are being wiped out; thirdly, from the point of view of agricultural production, we know that the standards of production in no way meet EU standards of compliance. At the end of the day, is there anything we can really do, or are we just talking?"@en1
