"−
Given that around 45% of the Republic of Liberia is covered by forest and that the country houses half the tropical forests that still exist in Western Africa, and since the majority of these forests were decimated during the 14-year civil war for the financing thereof, I can only welcome the efforts of the current President of Liberia to structure the forestry sector and create a legal framework enabling the sustainable marketing of his country’s timber. In this context, I warmly welcome the Voluntary Partnership Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Liberia on timber products."@en1
