La Unión Europea es la región mundial que más productos importa ligados a la deforestación, según un informe publicado por la Comisión Europea sobre el que la organización de conservación WWF considera que este "alarmante hecho pone en entredicho el compromiso de los Veintisiete de recortar en un 50 por cien la deforestación tropical neta para 2020".
- The majority of crops and livestock products associated with deforestation in the countries of origin are consumed at local or regional level, and are not traded internationally. In quantitative terms, 33% of crops and 8% of livestock products (with embodied deforestation) are traded outside the countries or regions of production;
- Of the portion which is traded internationally, the EU 27 imported and consumed 36% of crops and livestock products associated with deforestation in the countries of origin. This is equivalent to the import and consumption in the EU of a deforested land area of 9 million ha over the period 1990-2008;
- If we refer to the global consumption of agricultural and livestock commodities with embodied deforestation, i.e. including also domestic and regional consumption, the impact of EU consumption is 7%. This figure can increase up to 10% if all finally processed products and all consumption sectors are added on (i.e. textile, service sectors, etc.);
- Consumption of oil crops - such as soy and palm oil - and their derived processed goods, as well as meat consumption play a major role in the impact of EU consumption on global deforestation.
Es decir que los paises de origen consumen la mayoría de los productos asociados a la deforestación (aparte de permitirla por motivos económicos y por la corrupción imperante).
Se ese 33% de productos agropecuarios exportados en origen, solo el 36% es consumido por la UE. En cuanto al porcentaje real (si incluimos consumo domestico de los países productores) el porcentaje se reduce al 7%.

Por partes: la UE son +500 millones de habitantes en un territorio relativamente pequeño.

Sensacionalista, pero no tanto como este envio anterior:

La empresa Asian Pulp & Paper (APP) es la mayor depredadora de bosque a escala mundial (se centra en todo el sudeste asiático). Sin embargo, el mercado Europeo le está cerrando las puerta por el tema de las regulaciones y garantías de sostenibilidad:
