"− I voted in favour of this European Parliament recommendation on 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 and derived products to the European Union because this Agreement covers all timber products to be exported, including wood chips for fuel, logs, sawn wood, veneer and wooden furniture. The Central African Republic’s system for verifying the legality of timber and derived products shall apply to all exports, and not only those destined for the EU. Furthermore, it will cover timber imported from third countries and processed in the Central African Republic for export. Along with establishing a partnership tool for improving management standards, sustainability and accountability in the forestry sector, the VPA can be expected to contribute positively to overall development and growth in the Central African Republic, including by safeguarding income generated by timber exports to the EU and other international markets. A forest governance platform composed of representatives from non-governmental organisations and civil society will monitor VPA implementation activities and will report its observations to the EU-Central African Republic Joint Implementation Committee to oversee the full scope of the Agreement."@en1
