Summary:
HS writes that Finns are shocked by the EP Committee for Environment’s vote, which took a harsh stance towards the effects of Finnish forests on the EU climate policy. MEP Nils Torvalds (ALDE) says that many European MEPs understand nothing about good forestry and that a lot of work is required to change the mind of the MEPs before the plenary. MEP Anneli Jäätteenmäki (ALDE) says that Finland was made to suffer from low forest cuts of the past years. The Finnish Central Union of Agricultural Producers and Forest Owners MTK also expressed their dismay.
