If those involved in the further development and implementation of the EU Forestry Strategy and the EU Forest Action Plan constantly bear in mind that a measure ought to be implemented at Community level only if this will have a clear-cut advantage, the prospects are favourable for progress for all concerned.

OPINION OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE ENVIRONMENT, PUBLIC HEALTH AND FOOD SAFETY
Odbor za okolje, javno zdravje in varnost hrane poziva Odbor za kmetijstvo in razvoj podeželja kot pristojni odbor, da v svoj predlog resolucije vključi naslednje pobude:
The Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety calls on the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development, as the committee responsible, to incorporate the following suggestions in its motion for a resolution:
7. ugotavlja, da je veliko lesa, uvoženega v EU, 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;
Notes that much of the wood imported into the EU comes in the form of processed products, some of which are derived from wood which has been sourced illegally; asks the Commission, in order to facilitate prohibition of such illegally-sourced imports, to 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.
9. 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;
Stresses the importance of diverse timber research in attaining the European Union's objectives regarding competitiveness and the environment; observes 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.
13. 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;
Asks that new ways of preventing and extinguishing fires using satellites and other state-of-the-art technology be developed and researched and used not only in forests, but also to provide civil protection for the general public.
16. 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.
Notes that 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.
