lpv:translated text	"I welcomed the conclusion of a Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA) between the European Union and the Central African Republic on forest law enforcement, governance and trade in timber to the European Union (FLEGT). Sixty per cent of Central African timber is exported to Europe. In the Central African Republic, forest degradation is occurring mainly due to inadequate law enforcement and monitoring resulting from lacking human, material and financial resources, which have led to illegal logging, timber poaching and bushfires. This agreement is aimed at stopping illegal logging and developing a set of laws to ensure the traceability, legal verification and licensing of timber and timber products to be exported to the EU market, and to establish monitoring and independent auditing. I welcome the calls in the European Parliament’s recommendation for more attention to be devoted to effective and timely VPA enforcement and regular reporting on progress in the implementation of VPAs."@en1
