lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I would just like to take this opportunity to say something about the importance of forestry and the importance of trees, the importance of wood. There are three main reasons for this importance: first, tackling climate change; second, creating jobs; and third, improving health. On the first of these, tackling climate change, we already sequestrate – absorb – 10% of our carbon emissions at the EU level through our forest cover. If we could increase that forest cover, and I believe we can – in the Republic of Ireland they are going to go from 10% cover to 18% cover by 2050 – we will sequestrate more carbon and play a better role in tackling climate change. Secondly, we can create a large number of new jobs in this area – in my own constituency of the North-East there is big job potential. And, thirdly, we can improve people’s health by getting them out exercising in forests. So tackling climate change, creating jobs and improving health all show why man’s best friend is not the dog: man’s best friend is the tree."@en1
