The Republic of Liberia is rapidly moving on from the less positive years in its history, thanks in particular to a number of reforms to the tax system and company law.
While it remains one of the less prosperous countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, Liberia has, however, considerably improved its economy, which is growing at an average rate of 6% a year. In this context, the Forest Law Enforcement Governance and Trade (FLEGT) Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA) can bring about significant positive results, because it involves an important sector of the Liberian economy, also in social, institutional and political terms.
From the point of view of building a more robust legal framework, a widespread system of opportunities (starting with the communities living in the areas of production), and greater integration of Liberia into international markets, which is a guarantee of political stability, the agreement undoubtedly represents an important and positive contribution. Therefore, I cannot but vote in favour of the proposed text."@en1
