lpv:translated text	"− The Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA) between the European Union and the Central African Republic (CAR) is crucial to whether or not valuable timbers can be imported from this African country. Tropical forest covers 30% of the CAR’s territory, so it is no surprise that timber exports represent around 40% of the country’s exports. The arrival of this VPA is timely, as it will discourage illegal timber sales, as well as the unjustified and irreparable loss of forests that are devastated by black-market and illegal producers and sellers. The agreement will also be a guarantee that EU countries will buy timber logged using sustainable processes that respect the forest’s equilibrium and that they will not be contributing, albeit unintentionally, to the destruction of tropical forests."@en1
