This report recommends the conclusion of the Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA) with Liberia on forest law enforcement, governance and trade in timber products. These VPAs are intended to provide third countries with national-level regulations for implementing systems for verifying conformity and traceability throughout the supply chain, as well as with logging standards and controls on export shipments, in this case in relation to the forestry sector. However, we believe that the real way to combat illegal logging is to bring an end to poverty in these countries and promote their development by supporting their economic diversification and reversing an economic model based on heavy dependence on exploiting and exporting a select number of raw materials to industrialised countries, which fosters neo-colonial relationships of dependence and subjugation that lead to the plundering of resources."@en1
