lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, Robert Green Ingersoll once said: ‘In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments, there are consequences’. And the consequences of deforestation are life-threatening for biodiversity, indigenous communities and anyone living on this planet. Deforestation is man-made. It is often directly linked to corruption, fraud, money-laundering and the general greed of a profit-driven system. The scale of deforestation in Indonesia is alarming. Further incentives for palm oil production – the single biggest cause of deforestation in Indonesia – add to the problem. Multinationals such as Ferrero, Unilever, Nestlé, Mondelez (formerly Kraft), L’Oreal, Hershey and Wilmar International are just some of the profiteers responsible. If anything has changed, it is solely down to public pressure. I am in favour of every step to combat illegal logging and stop illegally logged timber entering the EU market. But I am also in favour – as we are doing now – of Parliament identifying potential flaws in the scheme and not taking the current FLEGT as the be-all and end-all. Independent civil society monitoring is necessary. FLEGT-licenced companies proven to be involved in money-laundering and corruption must have their licences revoked. I have supported the rapporteur’s initial position throughout and rejected any attempts to water it down."@en1
