"Forests are the main repository of carbon and have a vital role to play in the fight against climate change. Forests and wooded land cover 42% of the European Union’s surface. Forests make up biospheres which store carbon and are particularly important to environmental conservation and protection against natural disasters. All these aspects are vital not only to the quality of life enjoyed by European citizens, but also to agriculture and rural development. I would like to stress that sustainable forest management is of pivotal importance to the European Union’s achievement of its climate goals and to carbon dioxide capture from the atmosphere. Furthermore, forest-based industries provide more than 2 million jobs, contributing to economic growth and employment. I voted for this report as I think that the European Union must strengthen its strategy for improving the sustainable management and conservation of forests."@en1
