The Government bets for doing “a politics of mountains generadora of employment”

Begoña Grandson has required that in this political orientation, the Government wants to join the forestry services and the ones of rural development in a same General Steering. For the Government, has added the director, “the rural world includes also the forestry development, of a form harmonised and integral with him”.

Likewise, Begoña Grandson has left clear the support of Spain to this attempt to look for an agreement legally vinculante on sustainable forestry management, so much to scale European like global. The orientation of the forestry politics of the European countries, has added the director, depends of the work that Forestry Europe realises.

Forestry Europe, forum that constitutes the maximum expressesion of the collaboration between the politics and the science, issues recommendations in favour of the environingingmental protection, through the sustainable management of the forestrys in Europe, contributing to mitigate the climatic change and helping to the conservation of the biodiversidad, at the same time that contributes to the generation of employment and to the impulse of the rural development.

To this meeting assist more than 100 representatives of the members signatarios of the process (46 European countries and the European Community), observers of countries no European, ONGs environingingmental and social, federations of owners, unions of forestry workers, the forestry industry and the scientific community.

Along two days, the experts will argue the program of work that has to set up the decisions approved in the ministerial conference of Oslo, celebrated between the days 14 and 16 June 2011.

In said conference, the representatives of European governments attendants of the management and development of the forestry politics undertook two important actions. On the one hand they adopted the objective “European Forestrys 2020” and, by another, the European ministers took the decision to set up some negotiations to attain an agreement legally vinculante to protect the forestrys of the region.

The twenty-five percent of the forestrys of the world, more than one trillion hectares, find in Europe. Besides, in the last 20 years, the zones of forestrys have expanded in all the European regions and have won until 0,8 million hectares to the year, increasing the European forestry mass in 8,6 trillion cubic metres, figure that continues in promotion.

Between 2005 and 2010, around 870 million tonnes of CO₂ have deleted annually of the atmosphere thanks to the photosynthesis and to the growth of the biomass of the trees in the European countries. This corresponds roughly to a ten percent of the broadcasts of gas of effect invernadero in 2008 in these countries.
