Recital 3
(3) Illegal logging is a pervasive problem of major international concern. It poses a significant threat to forests as it contributes, along with changes in land use, fires, extreme weather phenomena and forest diseases, to the process of deforestation, which is responsible for about 20 % of CO2 emissions, threatens biodiversity, and undermines sustainable forest management and development including the commercial viability of operators acting in accordance with applicable legislation. In addition, it also has social, political and economic implications.
