N. opozarja na regije, ki so jih ponovno prizadeli obsežni gozdni požari in jim izraža solidarnost; vendar poudarja, da so tako težave v zvezi z gozdnimi požari kot tudi pogoji za njihovo preprečevanje v posameznih državah članicah zelo različni; opozarja, da sta lokalna udeležba in lokalno delo, kot kažejo izkušnje, odločilnega pomena za učinkovito preprečevanje gozdnih požarov, boj proti njim in opustitev praks pogozdovanja z lažje gorljivimi monokulturami, zlasti evkaliptom,
O. drawing attention to the regions repeatedly affected by large-scale forest fires and expressing its solidarity with those regions; whereas it important, however, to note that there are considerable differences between the Member States in relation to problems with forest fires and the conditions under which they can be fought; whereas experience shows that local involvement and local engagement is crucial to successfully preventing and fighting forest fires and changing forestry practices away from fire-prone monocultures, especially of eucalyptus,
O. ugotavlja, da je novi finančni instrument za okolje (LIFE+) bistvenega pomena za zaščito vseh evropskih gozdov s pomočjo ukrepov za nadzor in preprečevanje dejavnikov, ki povzročajo njihovo uničevanje, vključno s požari,
P. whereas the new financial instrument for the environment (LIFE+) is vital in order to protect all Europe's forests through measures to monitor and avert the contributory factors involved in their deterioration, including fires,
Strateški element 6: Zaščita tropskih gozdov
Strategy element 6: Protecting tropical forests
P. ker nezakonita sečnja tropskega lesa povzroča resno ekološko, gospodarsko in socialno škodo, in to ne samo v izvornih državah, temveč tudi v državah v zmernih zemljepisnih širinah, saj zaradi tega nastaja znatno izkrivljanje konkurence na trgu z lesnimi proizvodi,
Q. whereas illegal logging of tropical timber causes serious ecological, economic and social damage not only in the countries of origin but also in countries in temperate zones, since it gives rise to significant distortions on the market for wood products,
Q. . pozdravlja akcijski načrt Komisije FLEGT (akcijski načrt EU za izvajanje zakonodaje, upravljanje in trgovino v gozdarskem sektorju), ki je bil oblikovan z namenom reševanja težav, povezanih z nezakonito sečnjo; opozarja, da nezakonita sečnja povzroča na eni strani občutne okoljske in družbene težave, na drugi strani pa neravnotežje v trgovini z lesnimi proizvodi in finančne izgube v gozdarstvu; ugotavlja, da je napredek pri preprečevanju nezakonite trgovine z lesom v največji meri odvisen od odprave dejavnikov, iz katerih ta težava izvira, kot so nejasno opredeljeno lastništvo, podkupovanje in revščina; poleg tega meni, da je pomembno uvesti ostre sankcije in kazni zoper ljudi in podjetja, ki trgujejo z nezakonito posekanim lesom,
R. welcoming the Commission’s FLEGT (European Union’s Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade) action plan which was set up to combat the problems associated with illegal logging; whereas illegal logging creates serious environmental and social problems as well as an imbalance of trade in timber and financial losses for the forest industry; whereas, in order to make progress in combating trade in illegally logged timber, it is of crucial importance that the factors underlying the problem, such as lack of clarity about ownership, corruption and poverty, are eliminated; whereas it is important, furthermore, that there should be serious sanctions and punishments for people and businesses that deal in illegally logged timber,
R. ugotavlja, da je veliko lesa, uvoženega v Evropsko unijo, v obliki predelanih proizvodov, med katerimi so tudi proizvodi iz nezakonito pridobljenega lesa; poziva Komisijo, naj zaradi lažje prepovedi takšnega nezakonito pridobljenega uvoza preuči spremembo carinskega zakonika ES in nepreferencialnih pravil o poreklu, ki veljajo za les, tako da bo zadnja država, v kateri poteka obdelava proizvodov iz naravnih prvin, dolžna dokazati poreklo in zakonitost surovin,
S. whereas much of the wood imported into the European Union comes in the form of processed products, some of which are derived from wood which has been sourced illegally; whereas the Commission, in order to facilitate prohibition of such illegally-sourced imports, should consider modifying the EC Customs Code and non-preferential rules of origin applying to timber so that the last country in which the processing of products made out of extractive natural resources takes places should be obliged to prove the origin and the legality of the raw materials,
Strateški element 7: Ublažitev podnebnih sprememb in prispevanje k trajnostni oskrbi z energijo
Strategy element 7: Mitigating climate change and contributing to sustainable energy supplies
T. ker bo povečana uporaba obnovljivih virov energije na podlagi gozdnih proizvodov prispevala k lajšanju energetskega primanjkljaja Evropske unije in k okrepitvi nadomestne ali alternativne proizvodnje energije v predelih s presežki proizvodnje ali v tistih, ki so jih prizadele določene reforme Svetovne trgovinske organizacije (STO),
U. whereas strengthening the use of renewable energies based on forestry products will also help to offset the European Union's energy deficit and boost the production of energy crops as a substitute or alternative for areas producing surpluses or affected by specific COM reforms,
Strateški element 8: Spodbujanje konkurenčnosti, zaposlovanja in dohodkov v gozdarskem sektorju
Strategy element 8: Promoting competitiveness, employment and income in the forest- based sector
U. ker gozdarstvo in lesno gospodarstvo v politiki Skupnosti za gospodarski razvoj do sedaj nista bila dovolj poudarjena, temveč sta še vedno obravnavana kot stranski področji, čeprav ti panogi nudita veliko delovnih mest, ustvarjata znaten prihodek in imata samo pozitiven učinek na sposobnost podeželja za preživetje,
V. whereas the forestry sector and wood industry has not been given a sufficiently high profile in Community economic development policy up to now but is still seen as a subsidiary area, even though this sector creates a large number of jobs, achieves a significant turnover and has an extremely positive impact on the viability of rural areas,
V. ker nam gozdovi nudijo najpomembnejše okoljske koristi za kakovost življenja in kmetijsko-gozdne proizvode velikega gospodarskega pomena,
W. whereas forests provide environmental benefits of prime importance for the quality of life, as well as agri-forestry products which are of major economic importance,
W. se je seznanil s priznanjem večnamenske vloge gozdov s strani Komisije, vendar meni, da se v večini primerov omenjena vloga ne odraža v zadostni meri glede na svoje zmožnosti v gospodarstvu na zadevnih območjih niti pri dohodkih tam živečega prebivalstva,
X. whereas the Commission recognises the multifunctional role of forests, but whereas in the majority of cases that role, measured against the potential it offers, is not reflected in the economy of the areas concerned or in the income of their inhabitants,
X. da so za uresničitev številnih okoljskih ciljev Unije pomembni dobri pogoji za gozdarstvo in močna ozaveščenost o različnih sočasnih ciljih gospodarjenja z gozdovi,
Y. whereas, therefore, good conditions for forestry and strong awareness of the various simultaneous goals of forest management are important if the Union is to achieve several of its environmental objectives,
Strateški element 9: Spodbujanje raziskovalnih in razvojnih dejavnosti v gozdarskem sektorju
Strategy element 9: Promoting forest-related research and development
Y. ker lahko gozdarski sektor izpolni zahteve glede konkurenčnosti in trajnostnega razvoja samo, če mu uspe za svojo dejavnost razviti nove in inovativne koncepte in tehnologije ter če je zaščiten pred nesorazmernimi dajatvami, ki ovirajo njegove gospodarske zmožnosti,
Z. whereas the forestry sector can meet the challenges facing it in terms of competitiveness and sustainable development only if it succeeds in developing new and innovative concepts and technologies for its activities, and only if it is protected from the imposition of disproportionate conditions hindering its economic effectiveness,
Z. poudarja, da je mnogostransko raziskovanje lesa pomembno za izpolnjevanje ciljev EU v zvezi s konkurenčnostjo in okoljem; ugotavlja, da les kot surovina vsebuje številne lastnosti, na primer kemikalije, ki doslej še niso bile izkoriščene, zato bi bilo treba vložiti primerna sredstva v raziskovanje in razvoj tržne uporabe takšnih lastnosti; ugotavlja, da lahko povečana uporaba lesa, na primer na področju gradnje, papirja, embalaže in energije prispeva k nadomeščanju neobnovljivih naravnih virov,
AA. stressing the importance of diverse timber research in attaining the European Union's objectives regarding competitiveness and the environment; observing that, as a raw material, wood contains many properties, such as chemicals, which have previously remained unexploited and that adequate resources should be invested in research into and in the development of market applications for such properties; whereas increasing the use of wood, for example in the construction, paper, packaging and energy sectors, can contribute to replacing the use of non-renewable natural resources,
AA. poziva k razvoju in raziskovanju novih načinov preprečevanja in gašenja požarov z uporabo satelitov in druge najsodobnejše tehnologije, ki je ne bi uporabljali le za gozdove, ampak tudi za civilno zaščito prebivalstva,
AB. whereas new ways of preventing and extinguishing fires using satellites and other state-of-the-art technology should be developed and researched and used not only in forests, but also to provide civil protection for the general public,
Strateški element 10: Spodbujanje trajnostnega gospodarjenja z gozdovi z izobraževalnimi programi in programi usposabljanja
Strategy element 10: Promoting sustainable forest management by means of training and further training programmes
AB. ker gozdarskega sektorja do sedaj evropski izobraževalni programi in programi za usposabljanje skoraj niso upoštevali,
AC. whereas to date the forest-based sector has hardly been taken into account in European training and further training programmes,
Strateški element 11: Spodbujanje trajnostnega gospodarjenja z gozdovi z informacijskimi in komunikacijskimi strategijami
Strategy element 11: Promoting sustainable forest management by means of information and communication strategies
AC. ker so v dosedanji gozdarski strategiji EU možnosti, ki jih ima Evropska unija, da bi s pomočjo informacijskih in komunikacijskih strategij podpirala trajnostno upravljanje gozdov, vse premalo izkoriščene,
AD. whereas hitherto the EU's forestry strategy has taken far too little advantage of the European Union's potential for supporting sustainable forest management by means of information and communication strategies,

Welcomes the fact that, thanks to a dynamic dialogue within the framework of the Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forests in Europe (MCPFE), the Member States and the Commission have arrived at a common vision of sustainable forest management, and proposes that this should be taken into account more fully in the political decision-making process;
7. poudarja, da mora Evropska unija v mednarodni okoljski politiki in okoljski politiki Skupnosti slediti usklajeni zasnovi, pri kateri se upošteva in spoštuje večnamenska vloga gozdov, pri tem pa je treba zagotoviti obsežno udeležbo prizadetih ter odprto informacijsko politiko;
Stresses that the European Union should take a coordinated and congruent approach in international and Community environmental policy, in which the multifunctional role of forests is taken into account and respected; in this connection those concerned should be fully involved and an open information policy should be followed;
10. predlaga, da se okrepi stalni odbor za gozdarstvo z razširitvijo in uresničitvijo njegovih pristojnosti v okviru izdelave in vrednotenja akcijskih načrtov ter vrednotenja nacionalnega gozdarskega programa;
Proposes that the Standing Forestry Committee be strengthened by extending its remit and giving it a practical dimension, for instance in the context of the establishment and evaluation of the action plans and the evaluation of the national forestry programmes;
12. poziva Komisijo in države članice, da pri izdelavi vsakega razvojnega programa podeželja v večji meri upoštevajo cilje in ukrepe gozdarske strategije Evropske unije in akcijskega načrta Evropske unije za trajnostno gospodarjenje z gozdovi;
Calls on the Commission and the Member States to take increased account of the objectives and measures of the EU forestry strategy and the EU action plan for sustainable forest management when drawing up their corresponding rural development programmes;
14. poudarja, da mora akcijski načrt Evropske unije za trajnostno gospodarjenje z gozdovi zaradi večnamenskosti gozdov v večji meri upoštevati zaščito tal, vode in zraka kot tudi raznolikost vrst in tipičnih gozdnih pokrajin;
Stresses that the EU action plan for sustainable forest management, in the sense of the multifunctional role of forests, must pay more attention to protecting the soil, water and air and also biodiversity and typical forest landscapes;
26. poziva Komisijo, da pri pogozdovanju upošteva gospodarski potencial domačih vrst različnih regij kot tudi potencial naravnih gozdov in vseh izdelkov ter okoljskih storitev, ki te jih nudijo podeželju; zato je treba obravnavati ukrepe za podporo proizvajalcev;
Calls on the Commission to take account of the economic potential for afforestation of each region's native species, as well as the potential of natural forests and all the environmental products and benefits they provide for rural areas; considers that, to this end, a study should be made of the necessary measures to support producers;
28. meni, da dodeljevanje podpore, zlasti za izboljšanje okolja in podeželskih območij, ne sme biti odvisno od oblike lastnine gozdov in da mora za vse gozdove veljati ista zakonodaja;
Considers that the provision of support, particularly to promote environmental conservation measures and rural areas, should not be made dependent on the form of ownership of the forests concerned, and that all forests should be treated equally;
29. poziva k večjemu spodbujanju z gozdarstvom povezanih raziskovalnih in razvojnih dejavnosti ter večnamenske vloge gozdov predvsem za trajnostni razvoj biološke raznovrstnosti z vključitvijo glavnih raziskovalnih projektov gozdarskega sektorja v 7. okvirni raziskovalni program Evropske unije oz. v ustrezne programe držav članic, kot tudi s podporo že začeti tehnološki platformi gozd-les-papir;
Calls for an increase in promotion of forest-related research and development work and that related to its multifunctional role, particularly with regard to the sustainable development of biodiversity, by including key forestry research projects in the 7th EU Framework Programme of Research or in the corresponding programmes in the Member States, and by supporting the forests/wood/paper technology platform which has already been launched;
31. poudarja, da je podpora lastnikov gozdov glede izobraževanja, usposabljanja, informacijske dejavnosti in svetovalnih storitev pogoj za trajnostno izkoriščanje gozdov v okviru razvoja podeželja;
Underlines that the support of forest owners in terms of education, capacity building, information activity and advisory services will be a prerequisite for the sustainable use of forests in the context of rural development;
32. pozdravlja prizadevanja evropskih gozdarskih oblasti, da bi predvsem z atestiranimi lesnimi izdelki uporabnikom zagotovili varnost trajnostnega gozdarstva, ki upošteva večnamensko vlogo gozdov; meni, da sta sistema atestiranja FSC in PEFC za to enako primerna; poziva k spodbujanju vzajemnega priznanja obeh sistemov atestiranja;
Welcomes the efforts of European forestry undertakings to give consumers assurances concerning sustainable forest management which takes account of the multifunctional role of forests, notably by means of certified wood products; considers the FSC and PEFC certification systems to be equally suitable for this purpose; calls for mutual recognition of the two certification initiatives to be promoted;
