Summary

This dossier concerns the Standing Forest and Forestry Expert Group. The amendments range from rejecting the Commission proposal to broadening the tasks and composition of the Standing Forestry Committee and the Working Group on Forest and Nature; several stress that forestry is a Member State competence not assigned to the Union by the Treaty, emphasise voluntary cooperation and local authorities, and link forests to the European Green Deal.

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
