"I voted for the report on the conclusion of a Voluntary Partnership Agreement 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. The agreement with the Central African Republic provides an instrument for tackling illegal logging, helping improve regulation, governance and law enforcement in this country’s forestry sector, as well as for strengthening market opportunities for Central African timber products in Europe. Forests cover around 8.7% of the land area of the Central African Republic, with the forestry sector accounting for 4% of the country’s GDP and 40% of its export revenues. Europe is the destination for 60% of Central African timber exports. The agreement regulates 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 will apply to all exports, and not only those destined for the European Union. The new EU Timber Regulation due to take effect in March 2013 will ban the sale of illegally harvested timber or related products on the EU market."@en1
