Rapporteur Mohammed Boukourna ⚙

I am referring to my written report.

President Herman De Croo ⚙

The Ladies Vautmans, Wiaux and Detiège are included in the general discussion.

Brigitte Wiaux LE ⚙

Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank Ms. Maya Detiège for piloting the work on this subject. I would like to tell him that we will support this resolution proposal.

Hilde Vautmans Open Vld ⚙

Mr. Speaker, I think that Mrs. Detiège, with a day of study in Parliament, initiated a resolution.

Open VLD would like to support this resolution. Indeed, we believe that the Congolese rainforest is of great importance, not only for the local population, but also as a buffer against a possible climate change.

We will therefore fully support this resolution as we want to signal that we are concerned about the uncontrolled logging in Congo.

Maya Detiège Vooruit ⚙

I am very pleased with the comments of my colleagues.

It is positive that the whole Parliament, across party boundaries, recognizes its importance. The Congobekken is the second largest rainforest in the world and the wood harvest is going very fast. When you fly over the Congo, you can clearly see the surfaces that are being cut off. In that sense, the resolution was very important. There are even people from Congo who are working locally.

I thank the members of Parliament for their support and I am very happy today.
